Just for fun

Hi everyone I hope that you are all well and happy. 

Welcome to my little bit of blogland!

Today I would like to share with you a card that I have created using a background I  made during a "craftalong" The amazing Louise Withers was on Hochanda demoing an awesome range of craft supplies from Ecoline and Amsterdam with a few other fabby goodies too . Please see links below.

I used a selection of paints from the Junk and Disorderly range from Indigoblu and I hope that you like it! 

There is an amazing group over on FB called the Junk Journal Junkies and Mindful Art 

Pop over and take a look there's a weekly challenge and loads of inspiration. 

Here's how it came together! 

The base is a 7x7 card blank with a slightly smaller square of black card. Next I cut a smaller square from an A4 piece of card that I had created the background on. 

I made the topper using the same background and stamped the sentiment. Both the sentiment and butterfly stamp are both from Indigoblu.

To finish the piece I have popped card candi in the corners.

TRD February 8th project

Hi everyone I hope that you are all well and happy. 

A huge welcome to my little bit of blogland! 

Today I would like to share with you my 1st project for the Tsunami Rose Designs Crafts and more DT. This team is one of two design teams for Tsunami Rose and  has been put together to show just how versitile the TR printables are and I am delighted to have been asked to join them. 

I have altered a mach'e box and  hope that you like it!

For my 1st project this month I have altered a mache heart box. Firstly I painted the inside of the box with metaIic gold paint, I then cut down a page for the initial cover then added some lace and ribbon to the base and the lid. I used the ' these are a few of my favourite things' sentiment on the lid and fussy cut the wee Kitty to use on the lid. The little bud roses are made from the same paper used on the lid by rough tearing a spiral, rolling them up and letting them ping open securing them with a little PVA glue and inked . The little butterfly has been punched from the same paper used on the lid and inked.  A little liqud pearls to the centre of the butterfly and to finish the project  I have added 3mm pale pink pearls to the lid and 4mm ivory pearls on the base and a bow to the centre of the lid at the back.
