Pretty Pins All in A Row

For today's Retro Cafe Art DT piece I used  the collage sheet called Jewel Tone Vintage ATC collage sheet for the background of some pretty little stick pins I made. I adore the collage sheets Kristin makes, there are all different styles, colors and images. You should check out her site to see. She also has a fantastic contest and lots of ghoul, I mean cool Halloween supplies too. LOL. My little stick pins were for a swap at the Flying Unicorn community, which is a fun place with wonderful artists. I can't wait to see the liitle darlings I get in return for this swap.

These little cuties were easy to make. I used 3 inch pearl corsage pins. All you need to do is use a glue or a lacquer , glaze to adhere them. Instead of just beads, I used sequins too! I put them on the Retro Cafe Art ATC cards with a bit of tulle and some pretty lace.

Hope you will see the  "pretty " this week.
artfully yours, gerri

  8. Your pins are made more lovely only by the ATC cards you put them on.

  16. These have to be my favorite stick pin embellishments that I've seen. I just love them. I think what I like best is how you set them off. You have a great eye for these things, Gerri!
