Easter Bonnet

This morning I was flicking through Scrapbook Magazine issue 59 and took a shine to Rachael Elliotts layout.  I stripped it all back and made it in to a sketch, earmarked a photo and put the magazine away to ‘forget’ the page as I didn’t want to copy it directly but just to take inspiration from it.


Then this afternoon I had a play and came up with this.

A few close ups of the details...


I triple bordered with a yellow colouring pencil, black extra fine liner and a bananafrog stamp.


Title with papermania letters and 'teen' alphabet stamps.


Papermania patterned papers, doodlebug embossed card and one of those photo clippy thingys (what are they called?!)




Stamping at the side and behind the photo in random circles from 'cupcake greetings' and 'build-a-bloom' stamp sets again from bananafrog.  I used memento grey fog, shadow ink in soft grey, versa colour in black and canary and dewdrop moonlight white.  The canary was far too bright so I inked some on to a craft sheet and mixed it with the moonlight white to soften it.

I'd like to enter this in to a couple of challenges:

Just Traceys Craft Challenge - Hat

Colour Create - Yellow, grey, black and white




That's all for now...

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
