Butterfly Queens Fan and New Whimsical Frames Collage Sheet

The inspiration for this fan was the chipboard dress forms.  The first time I saw the dress forms I thought they would make a great fan.  Next, I decided on the images for the faces and then but I needed a way to frame them and that idea spawned my new collage sheet “Whimsical Frames”.  I designed the framed images so that they could be blades of a fan, a standalone piece or incorporated in some larger project.
Because I used dimensional embellishments I decide to permanently glue the fan open.  Once I made that decision I decided I needed a stand for the fan.  

I’ve build these stands in the past to display an ATC or other piece of art.  The stand is made from chipboard shoes and ornate name plates.  The only difference in this stand and others that I have made is that the back of the stand is made from combining two name plates rather than just using one.  
Click here for a tutorial on how to make this stand.
For embellishments on the top of the frame and the tops of the shoes I used images from my “Bejeweled” Collage Sheets.

    Laura, love this so much!! where/what did you use for the coordinating butterflies on the Queen's fans? Was it the butterflies from Nichola's sheet or the stickers? Inquiring minds are puzzled....(usual state for me)
