Enough of my ramblings and down to business. Today I have to share with you a wall plaque I have created using papers and digi stamp designed by Janette Padley Owner/designer of stamping dragon designs.
Here it is and I hope you like it.
 
Goodies Used

Tsunami Rose - Altered heart -March

Hi everyone I hope you are all well and happy. Its that time again, time for me to create something using printables designed by our lovely Daisy Collins.
For this project we are able to create anything and use any of Daisy's printables so I decided to alter an MDF heart and heres what I did.




Goodies used and recipe
 Ok so I have used a 5" MDF heart that on one side I brushed Modge Podge and then covered it with paper from the Parisian Daydream collection. I chose the Parisian Daydream p...
aper as it really is way up there on my list of printables and downloads, its just so beautiful and a real pleasure to work with. After I had added the paper I gave it a layer of Modge Podge wich has given it a subtle satiny finish and left to dry, when dry I inked around the edge with pink ink from Papermania, around a cm away from the the edge of the heart I glued some pink and white bakers twine and added some jute to the top right and bottom left of the heart. Across the centre of the heart I have added some cute sparkly 5mm pink rik rac ribbon over that I have added some lovely white lace and topped it with a sentiment from the Ephemera samplers range. To embellish I have added flowers with feathers and a hatpin at the bottom of the heart, feathers to the top left of the sentiment, a butterfly to the top right, pink gems around the edge and last but not least a 6 mm satin bow in the middle.
This heart I have created is going to play a very important role in Mothers day this year it will be beautifully displayed in its own box made from strong acetate and will be part of the arrangements that I take to my gorgeous moms resting place. So thank you Daisy for giving me such gorgeous papers to work with which in has helped me cre
ate something that my mom would love.
