Say It With Flowers!

Made this a couple of weeks ago when I was in full swing in my craft room and since then nothing. Im sure I work better in a messy craftroom lol! Tidied up and then nothing!
Used a digi stamp I bought off Etsy. Wanted some new flower stamps and have been trawling the online shops but just can't justify the cost of the ones I like. Once I make my mind up (I like too many) I might treat myself. Another Z fold card   and  kept it simple. Coloured with Copics.

Have a lovely Easter weekend and I do hope the warm weather reaches us up here! Hot tub coming out at long last, cant wait, just hope the mice haven't had a go at it!!!

bye for now

Bring Out The Old!

Wow!! I stamped a stamp lol. An old wooden Pennyblack wooden one called 'Whispers', maybe old but still as pretty. 

I stamped and embossed with detail white and coloured the flowers with Copics. 

Not sure if mines clean and simple but the flower says it all I think!

Birthday Girl

Been playing with scrap card again, a bit of a hoarder of scap lol! Especially when it comes to specialist types of card, have a  wallet with clear pockets full of scraps that come in handy when something little is needed to finish off a card. So easy to flick through.  Simple card using some unloved flower dies that  needed to blossom again. Topper mounted on to foam pads and mounted onto denim look digi paper. Finished card is 7x7.

A Card!

Really! Been nearly two weeks since I made one.

Really chilly here today, sunshine and snow showers, typical Scottish weather so climbed the stairs and hid in my craft room all day (got rid of the man for the day lol). Did a bit of card sorting out, must remember to jot down what I'm low on instead of buying an assortment everytime I go craft shopping! I then decided to finish this card I started a couple of weeks ago. Hasn't got a home to go too so no sentiment yet.

My favourite hobby is crafting, now wasn't that a surprise lol! Like to dabble, making things other than cards and at the mo, my favourite is making brooches. Can make them just how I want them to look like and can match them to my outfits, ooo, have to make loads more then! So far I have made nine different ones, some for my friends.

I used felt with a percentage of wool in it. Flower dies used Tim Holtz big dies and the centre flower used a marianne spiral flower die. The back flower cut I used very fine type of burlap and to stop the edges fraying I used glue on the back of the petal edges to prevent this, dries clear.  Took a piece of lace, threaded the green twine through the holes along the top pulled together and tied in a bow. Made the pin and attached it and the brooch back pin before I glued it all together. Love this one, has a country vintage feel to it and looks like I will have to make another the same so I won't be sorry when its gone to a good home!
