Another card using my silkies! This time I painted them through a stencil. This card has been made used the Tropical Sunshine set, which despite there being no pink! I think is my fave. Everybody thinks my favorite colour is pink..... but it is actually Orange!

Liz over at Pink Petticoat (link on sidebar) has set a fab challenge - to make our own flowers using Pink Petticoat papers. The hardest part was deciding which of the fabulous papers to use!

I have made a frayed flower that I use quite a lot, a spider flower and a cut out flower shape with pearly features.

Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the acetate very well. xx

I love this card, and as the name suggests the fairy comes from a roll of wallpaper :-) I'm not to waste anything. A few fibres and peeloffs added and the card is complete

This lovely unique box and book was made at a craft class held at my local craft shop, Little Lou's aka http://www.cheapdies.co.uk/ I made it for my neices 18th birthday and she said it was so beautiful, it made her cry. I had great fun making this in class with Hayley teaching us. As the name suggests the box is made completely by folding papers, and the book is all folded papers with some dst linking the pages

Pink & Brown Bluebell

2008-09-29T21:11:00.000+01:00

Bluebells don't have to be blue! Pink is a favorite colour of mine and I love the tone with the brown. I've used Bazzill bling card and finished with a pink bloom

Another black 'n' white theme with the same image. This time I have used diamond glitter glue on the flowers

Bugs 'n' Critters CSF Birthday Book

2008-05-25T18:06:00.000+01:00

This is my envelope for the Bugs 'n' Critters theme in the same CSF Birthday Challenge. Papers used are from HOTP and K & CO, along with peeloffs of butterflies, dragonflies, beetles and ladybirds. The peeloffs were layered onto multi tone papers for a different coloured effect.

The insert was made with stamped images of dragonflies and flourishes. Glitter was used for the dragonflies.

CSF Envelope Book

2008-05-25T14:47:00.000+01:00

For this years CSF Birthday Challenge, Simon set the task of envelope books. We were split into teams and each team chose a theme and style and size of envelope. We each then made a page and the team leaders collated them to make the book.

This is my envelope for the theme 'Going Postal'

The papers I used were from a K & CO tsv. I used them as a background, and cut around parts that were then 3d'd onto the envelope.
This is my insert again using the same papers, but I also added subtle stamped images from the Clear Choice, Travel France set.

Same papers for the back of the insert, with the addition of some rub on's and a sheet of atc paper.

We all had lots of fun making these and I hope we make lots of money for charity.
