LOVE


I was sent a note card from Chloe when I made a purchase from her Etsy shop.  As with all cards I am sent it went on to my magnet board to be admired.  As it was sat there on display an idea began to form...  I fussy cut all the florals from the card - a good job to do whilst the telly is on!  My idea was to put them on top of a wreath, so I got to work with my mixed media supplies...


I used a combination of Inktense pencils (to draw the circle to work around) and Shimmerz (Aqua Huez, Creameez, Vibez and Inklingz for all the other goodness!)


I can't tell you how much I loved the end result!  And I had so much fun doing it, which is the best part.  I tried to colour match the mixed media to the fussy cut embellishments as best I could.


I added a few enamel dots in turquoise to pick out the turquoise in the photograph.  I also added a healthy dose of sequins - Autumn Joy Fall Sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps to be precise.


I then decided I needed a little bit of green too, so found some more enamel dots.


This layout was done with Picture This! challenge in mind, including layers, fussy cutting and one photo.


And here it is all together...


Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Laura, That is brilliant. I love it when you can recycle something you like to make something else you like.

    Hope you have a lovely weekend. Sue

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.   ...
