Sunflower Fields

One of the newer releases from SpiegelMom Scraps is a gorgeous sequin mix called Sunflower Fields. I based this layout on the colours in the mix...

I grabbed a few Shimmerz paints to match the browns, gold, yellow and green to match the sequins.

I backed a heart mandala doily with the sequins, each ring of hearts in different colours.

I added some paints aronud the cut file and added lots of water for that lovely soft effect.

I added a few of the gold sequins along with puffy heart stickers and gold tiny word stickers to the layout.

I backed my photo with a kraft and gold foil spot paper bag... it was on my desk and was the perfect match.

I added a 'title' of JJ in Amy Tangerine stickers that have been in my stash for years - that is if you can call initals a title!

I have video footage of the process too, but I'm yet to edit it. I'll add it here later if it works out!

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. ...
