Pretty My Page Acorn Mesh Cut File

This layout uses Pretty My Page's Acorn Mesh cut file. I adore the cut file - you can download it here or have it cut for you here.

I cut it on kraft as I was trying to do something different. That was my first 'mistake' - I don't really like kraft!

I painted through the cut file with Minc Reactive Mist and added different colour foils to the leaves and acorns. Second mistake - it needs quite a thick layer of mist to get a good foiling (presumably the Minc paint would work better for this... must buy some!)

Mistake 3 for me is it is a whole page design. You know I like my white space!

But I look it this layout and I can see there is nothing wrong with it, it is just not my style. I can also see what I can do to make it more me so I hope to do another version soon.

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...

(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. ...
