So very very Tired

I’ve gone a bit photo happy with this post!! 
This is my take on layering.
 


I’ve noticed that layering seems to be ‘in’ in the scrapping world at the moment. I need to buy Ronda’s book to read up and get inspired. 

I don’t usually follow trends – I completely missed the whole Kraft obsession – but this one I want to try. 


It’s very sparkly!
I’ve used quite a few scraps that were just lying around. The note paper I used to clean up some inks I’d been playing with.


I stamped some dragonflies on the velum and dusted over them with mica powder.
The label with circles came off of a cardigan I bought.


The dragonfly is inked around the edges and triple dipped in embossing powder. I then splodged some ink on and mixed it as I went to create a purpley blend.


The wavy strips were off cuts from some signs a made a few years back (yes I keep things for that long!) I coloured one in with promarkers and inked with a pearly white ink pad and left the other white.



This photo is trying to show all the layers!

I used some little Tim Holtz paper clips, some button brads, some crafty ribbon buttons, and assorted paper flowers.I’d tried to heat emboss one just to see what would happen - not sure if I like it or not.



I’m not quite happy with the cluster of flowers; it doesn’t seem to be the right shape.  Any ideas? Maybe it’s just that I’m used to my pages being much simpler.

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
