Flutterby

Good Morning!

I recently purchased the butterfly punch from SU and so I decided to finally have a play.

I wanted to make something simple, fun and not too restricted by age. I hope that this can be given to any aged lady, from 3+. Younger than that and they might try eating the butterfly!
I used SU Whisper White and their DSP in Perfect Plum and Old Olive. The punches used were their butterfly punch and the 1 3/8 circle. The stamp was Fresh Cuts and the Dazzling Diamonds was fixed with a two-way glue pen.
I hope you like them!
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Funky Friday # 73

Morning folks,
Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. Not quite sure what happened. Time seems to have rushed by without my noticing. This week over at Funky Friday it's a sketch challenge.

Must say I  found this a really hard sketch for some reason

and the card is NOTHING like the card I had in my head.I also tried to use some of the colours that were retiring this month, but the reason I had them still was because I didn't know how to use them!

Anyway I am off to craft and hopefully make something I like.

Take care and thanks for looking!

Funky Friday # 71

Morning all!

And what a lovely day it is! The Challenge over at Funky Friday this week is a sketch challenge. Here it is.

And here is what I came up with.

The colours I used were Whisper White, Old Olive, and Cameo Coral( I love Coral and am devistated that it is being dropped by SU this year. I may have to bulk buy!)

The stamp sets used were Playful Petals and Vintage Labels. I also used the Sweet Pea Stiched Felt for the first time. So cute!

The colours on the photo are a little strange but I hope you like it. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Funky Friday # 70

Hi there,
I know this is really late but I couldn't seem to find the time to blog with my card this week! Anyhooo, Here is the card I made for Funky Friday Challenge. The theme was anything but a square and so I decided to make a slightly more dimentional card. I love this stamp set from SU called A flower for all seasons and I love the way the colours work together. I'm even quite pleased with my watercolouring! That's new!

The colours I used were Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Whisper White and Pumpkin Pie. The ribbon was in AA and I used the Eyelet Punch for the edging.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Have a great day. I am now off for some enforced crafting (it's a hard life, eh?).

Don't be sad...be beautiful!

Hello!

I usually only put papercraft items on my blog but I decided that I might aswell post some of the other things that I make on here. Why not? So here is a topsy-turvy doll I knitted a while ago. I think the designer is Jean Greenhowe.
So here she is. My Cinderella doll. What do you think?

As the belle of the ball she has a dance card in one hand with all the dances set aside for the Hansome Prince and in the other a fan.I know that her face does look quite pale but it was actually a pale flesh coloured wool.

Anyway I love her to bits even though she sits out of sight in the corner of a room.

Anyway, have a great day and thanks for looking!

Funky Friday ~68

Good Morning!

I hope you are all feeling merry and bright?

Anyway, this week over at Funky Friday we have a sketch challenge.

                                    

Here is what I made

I used Whisper White and Not Quite Navy card stock with Taken with Teal and Not Quite Navy ink. The ribbon was Regal Rose and the brads were from the Hodgepodge Hardware kit.

It was very simple but to add a little more interest I decoupaged the wing and the flowers of my bird.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Bye
