Handmade Flower

Check out this labour of love! I found out about this technique at a recent Pink Ladies Quarterly crop/meet up. A lady was showing us how to do it on one of the inspiration tables.
I wanted to try it out and this week's Friday MashUp! has given me the perfect opportunity-"handmade flower or flowers" 


It started out as lots of little petals made from the Owl Punch (with their feet cut off!)

Happy Easter!

I wasn't keen on doing an Easter card to start with but once I got working with ColourQ's challenge #81 colours this week I found it quite fun. I just re-found a bag of big eyelets-and was quite chuffed when I found I had they right shades too!






I'm also entering a new challenge this week: The Shabby Tea Room #58 PASTELS and STRIPES

And finally Stamping' Celebration Inspiation Challenge #48

Paper Pals Art Challenge 72

My Entry for PPA72

Here's my first ever entry to a card challenge blog: Paper Pals Art
Each week they set a challenge based on a theme/colour etc (see blog) and this week it is the following picture

Very lovely and wintery. My card is based on the engagement one I posted a few weeks ago, taking a giant ring as the central motif. I used a bit of white embossing powder with a stamp from SU! "Happy Everything" set for the wording, and then some little gold stickers for the 'congratulations'.
