EGR


Exciting times... I have a sketch featured for like for ever's Sunday Sketch.  Here it is:
And here is my (incredibly literal) take using the latest like for ever kit 'carefree'


The butterflies are the other half of the cut file (by Juliana Michaels) that I used on this layout.


I added in some Peachy Sherbet sequins and Dazzlerz in Dreamsicle from the SpiegelMom Scraps store (use the code Laura15 when you place an order and get a nice little discount!)


I picked out coordinating threads to attach the butterflies to the page.  I love to add butterflies this way as you get lots of dimension.  And I don't mind that I had to thread the sewing machine up eight times!


 And because they are vellum you get the gorgeous Fancy Pants paper showing through.


I wanted to add a title but couldn't come up with anything more than the initials - it's enough for me.  Here is a process video:



Thanks for stopping by and if you have a go at a page with my sketch I would LOVE to see it - you can tag me on facebook or instagram or send me an email to beadsbuttonsandbirds (at) live (dot) co (dot) uk

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.   ...
