Wreath 1

This wreath is quite small as I did not have

a 12" foam ring to hand so had to make do

with a 5" one which was ok apart from the

fact everything has to be scaled down as

well.

Flowers do become quite fiddly being so small but

achievable.  Clear crystal gems add to the overall effect

by giving more one side than the other to offset the

whole thing.

I used a snowflake punch paper to the centre of the flowers

to add a bit more of a christmas feel.

Herb Notepad/plaque

With this plaque I have filled the recess with a

printed notepaper bound together at the top

(hope this works) 

with a gardening theme, which was

made using my home computer.

The plaque has been painted with a blue

crackle paint which does not show well

in this picture.

The dremel drill came out to drill the two holes

for the twine (managed it again).

This makes a nice gift for any garden

lover!!

Wooden plaques with canvas inlay

Hi everyone,

I am still playing with wood.

I have made three plaques with a printed canvas inlay

and cut out individual pictures for the frame. 

I firstly painted the plain wooden plaque's  which my father

had made (good old dad).

The title of either 'Herbs' or 'Garden' I covered in

glaze to make it stand out more.  I then used my

drill (yes I can just about use my dremel) to drill two

holes for the twine to thread into.

These look really good in the flesh!

Purple Note Book

Another variation on a theme A5 note book

 covered using items from the Strictly Party ultimate pack.

More details can be found under Pink Note Book

 

 

Strictly Party Pink Note Book

This is an A5 note book which has been covered

using items from the Strictly Party ultimate pack.

The inside cover has had a calender attached to

one never needs to be without the correct date etc.

Back cover is decorated inside and out with the same

theme.

 

Swing Card - Strictly Party

Strictly Party

This a new range from DoCrafts.

This card was made by covering the white card

in sections, using papers from the range

leaving a very tiny border (it allows the card

to bend correctly and gives it a quality look).

The swing section had a topper mat and layered on

both sides.

Chipboard sentiment was again layered

over a piece of lilac ribbon
 

Sizzix swirl die cut in lilac and Xcut blooms cut

from the same papers and lilac gems added.

 

This is the inside.
