Spring has Sprung....

Good afternoon to you all, I hope this is finding you all well and busy crafting.

I had a little play at colouring again yesterday with a free image that I got from 

Emma`s Hints, Tips FB page

How I did not go over the lines is beyond me as we had some horrific weather Thunder/lightening, torrential downpour we could`nt even see across the road and it was very dark.

Before I finished the card this morning I thought I would have a go at making a daffodil, 

I think a bit more practice is needed lol.

Wedding Invites

Good afternoon to you all, hope you are all keeping well and you have not had that awful white stuff, we have had beautiful sunshine for most of the day.

 

I was very lucky to be asked if I would make the wedding/evening invitations for my Avon lady Sonia and her husband to be Ronnie.

 

 Sonia wanted butterflies on her cards to represent  the both of them and their son Alfie and they had to be purple, as that is the theme for the wedding, I made about 4 example cards for her to choose from and this is the one they picked.

Good evening all my lovely followers, bloggers and visitors and a special welcome to my new followers Fairy Jo, Alter This and Erin Bentley.

 

Tonight I have a card for my father in law, his birthday is not until May but thought I would get ahead with my family cards, which makes a change for me as they are usually done at the last minute.

Altered Pot.....

 

Good evening everyone, hope you are all keeping well.

 

Now you are probably wondering why have I put a Bisto granule container on here !!!!

 

Well I will tell you, last week when I had emptied the container and I was about to throw it away a thought came into my mind it would make a great pot for either pens/pencils or makeup brushes. So I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave it a go, talk about brain going into overdrive, it would not stop lol.

It took me ages to find some papers to use and then decide on what and how I was going to place the flowers and bits and bobs. In the end I gavethe pot to my Avon lady Sonia as she has been ill and upset over her wedding plans ( re - family) don`t you just love them.

So here you go....... this is what I came up with.......

 

I painted the inside and the rim with Copper metallic paint from Crawford & Black.

The papers came from MCS and with the back paper I used the tip from Ali Reeve using string round an acrylic block and inked with memento to look like writing.

 The basket weave paper I distressed round the top edge with a craft knife then used Color Box ink, then folded back the top edges.

I used red adhesive tape at the top and attached Pearl string from Creative Expressions. Ribbon and lace is from my stash.

I die cut some leaves and fern and the flowers came from Cuddly Buddly and from stash. Before I stuck the flowers on with Pinflair silicone, I placed them where I wanted to make sure they looked right.
