J - a layout


I like to reassess my counterfeit kit as I work... what is left?  what needs extra work to use?  what haven't I touched yet?

I pulled two piles, one untouched so far and one of bits and pieces of left over card stock and patterned paper.


Four strips of card were stuck together to make a 12x12 sheet...


And then there was this little lot...


They became this layout - no cutting just layering what was there as it was.


I added some washi to the background card.

 

I scruffed up the edges.


I added thread and enamel dots.


I was happy!

    Oh those distressed edges on those layers make it seem so rich.

    I don't know why I don't do this! I mean, it all goes together as it was put together in the kit.
    I love this page! Thanks for inspiring me, Your Majesty :-D

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.   ...
