See what happens when you eat too much cake!


This is my latest ATC, made for our monthly PaperArts group swap, the theme being "Marie Antoinette".

I used images of a period gown and one of Character Constructions Stamps of Marie and Photoshopped them to size.

The background is hand dyed canvas sprayed with Moon Shadow Mist, and has a Silver Krylon Pen resist.












I made a slash in the neck line of the gown image and put Marie's extended neck through it so that when you pull the crown up, the head comes up with it.
