This is a can can girl watercolor that I did for Kim, who is hosting the Moulin Rouge event I am attending in Cali.
I cut the lady (honestly, is she really a lady?? I suspect not) and glued her to a tag that I had made. At that point, before I added any baubles, I scanned it while it was flat.
You can click on it, save it to your computer and print it out, if you'd like to use the image for your own projects.
Here is the finished tag. I added a flocked butterfly and wrote the words "Moulin Rouge" onto some French text, added ribbons to the top, a feather and crystals to her hair.
Oh, and of course, some glitter.
Here are the gifties I made up for the goodie bags. Kim has 70 guests, but these didn't take me too long, it was pretty simple to stitch up the envelopes of flocked wallpaper, then I used the CuttleBug to chop up some butterflies of red flocked paper.
What's really cool, is that they are on adhesive backed contact paper, so the butterflies are now stickers.
I threw in a colorful feather and some rhinestones. Things that every can can girl needs in her supply kit.
I hope everyone likes them!
Karla,I adore your art—all mediums of it! That is darling.
First of all, thank you for the download — your finished tag is wonderful, and so are the envelopes!
Hi Karla,
Love the “can, can” tag!!! That is going to be my mantra for the upcoming week!!! “I, can, can,” Have sooooo much to do this last week of March. Thanks again for the inspiration! Celeste, thevictoriantailor.blogspot.com
