Neon Brights



I was fortunate enough to visit  Crafty Ribbons HQ last week.  I was like a little girl in a sweet shop on Christmas Day on cloud nine!  (I can't think of any other sayings... I was  h a p p y!)

We had a chat (lovely people) and I had a nose and filled a basket... and another basket.  I came away with lots of pretties. 

Just as they thought I had finished I piped up,
"Have you got anything bright?  You know,  fluoro.  Luminous.  Really ridiculously bright?!"

I think it may be my new thing.  The neon glitter, fluorescent ribbon, must dig out some highlighter pens too.

Anyway Ali pulled out a basket of brights and this is what I came home with...



very difficult to photograph, hard to capture their brightness!


and this is the first project...




...a birthday card for my cousinlet.




I'm going to enter this card in to this challenge:

    Wow very eye popping neon's, they go really well with the black, bet they look stunning tied together in a double bow. RE your earlier post about glue & glitter. Have you tried 'The Essential Glue Pad' it's like an ink pad but has glue on it, comes with a spare bottle of glue. You do need fine glitter to get the best effect as it is not like using an embossing powder you only get one layer that sticks. Its great for mica powders as well.

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.   ...
