WW1 - Pink and Hearts



The challenge for February at White With 1 is White + Pink + Hearts.
Of course it is... very Valentine-y.  I don't have any lovey photos of people *insert sad face here* but I think this photo captures the love of ice cream rather well!




I've used my favourite technique for the title.  Writing with glue on to a non stick mat and covering with glitter.



 
 
The pennants are from a birthday card I was sent.  Of course, I didn't throw it out as I knew one day I'd make use of it... it only took 8 months to use!!  The card was cream so I ran a little magenta India ink over it to keep with the colour theme.  I used the spare ink left in the paint brush on the background.




I used the spine of an old notebook, stretched it out and formed a circle with it.  I attached it to the photo with heart brads from my stash.


 

And balanced the page with a small cluster at the bottom.  The ice cream button was vanilla flavoured so I added a swirl of magenta India ink to make it vanilla and strawberry - matching the photo.


 
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

    Laura, thank you for commenting on my blog, it's always appreciated :)
    I love your title - that's a technique Id like to try sometime. What a great way to reuse the binding from a notebook too! Well done.

    Laura I think love of ice cream is perfectly legitimate (possibly better than a relationship LOL). Love your layout and your minimalist style, thanks for joining in at White With 1! xo

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
