Nature Walk


Here is my first layout with this months like for ever kit.  I was fortunate enough to have some of my sketches included in the kit and this layout follows one of them...





Here is my version...



I splashed some very watery watercolour around on my background, and when it was dry added some splatters of an iridescent ink spray.  It looked so lovely I could have stopped there and framed it!!


The majority of the embellishments are Cocoa Vanilla, with added ribbon mini alphas from my stash.  I wanted my title to match so I pulled out the watercolours again and had a go at the ombre effect.  Not quite as subtle as the CV ones but still lovely.


The pink organza ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and I love the way the enamel dots and vellum leaves are layered among it.


Entering at Avenue 613.

I'll be back tomorrow with another layout!
Thanks for stopping by...

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.   ...
