Raptor and Names Hooplas

 

These two hooplas were made for a claim I made in the Ongoing Pinterest Swap.  My partner had pinned the Clever Girl hoop from dandeliondog.  Since I didn't want to completely copy the original I didn't do all the lovely designs around the raptor.  I still wanted to have a little something extra so did I some of the lines around her head in purple.  I loved Jurassic Park the book and the movie.  This was one of my favorite parts/lines in the movie and so I had a hard time sending this away.  

The second hoop was also pinned and has her and her sweeties name. 

I used a back stitch on both with a wee bit of satin stitch on the raptor.

This was made for a swap (sorry I can't remember which right now) I used my new Silhouette Cameo to cut out the tree shape using contact paper.  I applied the contact paper then painted the canvas blue.  Once it was dry Landon and I glued the green buttons on.  

The recipient told me that it matched the colors of the room it was going in perfectly.  I really like how it turned out and love that I was able to use my Silhouette.  There is definitely a learning curve to using that thing!  

Neither of the two pics I took turned out well sorry!
