Dried flowers

Evening fellow crafters. Tonight I'm uploading something I have crated using spray inks, acetate and dried flowers. I used the acetate on my big shot and tim holtz flower dies. I then used the cut flower shapes placed on smooth paper. I also used what was left from the acetate as it created a stencil affect. I then used two colour prays randomly sprayed pink, and blue which also created mauve. Once this was dried I placed dried petals and flowers from my garden to creat a design.

I hope you like the affect.

Granddaughter birthday card

New home

I made this for my daughter and partner as thy have jut moved into a new home. I wanted to do something they could keep. I distressed the frame and stamped a sentiment onto paper that ad been distressed with ink. I had the flowers but used treasure gold to give them a metallic look.

Mixed media

I stated this with some distress ink. I then used grunge paste with a stencil. I painted over the grooves with fresco paint. Some more distress ink and stamped images with stazon.

Distressed and stamped

Haven't finished this yet but love the colours.

Nephew card

He's now 19 - what do you do. Well this is what emerged from a play in my summer crafty room in he garden.

First frame

I cut this from a sizzix die. Heat embossed and then used distress ink.

Steam punk

My first attempt at doing a card with a steam punk theme. Made specially for a friend who loves the trend.

Distress ink and heat embossed

I heat embossed the flowers then added some distress in to my biggest acrylic block and stamped it onto paper. I then tore round the paper and then mounted it onto some glitter paper. Then I stamped some flowers in distress ink over the top.

Pressed flowers

My friend who left work gave me some petals she had dried. I had this wooden hanging but did not know what to do with it so they came together and this is what happened. I distressed the hearts. Added the flowers and then decorated. 

It will now hang proudly in my bathroom.

I enjoyed this one.

I love the look of this one. Hope you do to

In the garden

I am still trying to find the best places to photograph my cards. I like the clouts in this card made for a friend.

My friends leaving card

A good friend has left work. I wanted to make her something special and this is what happened. She can use it as a mini album if she wishes. We all filled in a card with our special messages.

Quickie card

This card was completed quickly - it is a spare for those moments when you realise you have forgotten someone's birthday. I just hate that don't you.

Granddaughter

I made this to hang on my granddaughter's wall. I used spellbinders dies and different coloured paper.
