Monochrome Birthday Frame

Hi ALL
I have made this frame using a  12 x12 piece of white card from Anna marie designs and my easy frame making tutorial you can find HERE ...The card quality is superb. The ornate frame,swirls  and butterflies  is cut using a die from tonics new range that  have matching   sentiment . The flowers are made using the new Heartfelt creations Arianna blooms dies and stamp set which I embossed with silver wow powders .The bow is a sizzix die made for SU which I embossed with a silver wow powder and a  background stamp I had free from a mag.  I made the frame stand up by attatching an easel back stand from a sizzix bigz die.The embossing behind the sentiment is made using a darice folder.

Guilded background card


Hi all
I attended a Demo at the weekend with the very talented Sue Wilson....Thanks Ben and the SET posse for arranging it ..... it was fab ...I was so inspired by Sue's techniques I tried them for myself using some of the creative expressions  guilding flakes,micro beads and double sided sticky sheets.....I used a mask that I already owned ..very similar to the one sue has in her hand here...I used the high low technique with the double sided sticky sheets....[guliding flakes  low and micro beads high ]
The gorfeous flowers are  ARIANNA BLOOMS heartfelt creations stamps and dies set which I embossed with gold wow powder.The bow was a sizzix big die from SU.which I also embossed using a rose background stamp.The 2 frames behind the sentiment are from spellbinders and sweet Dixie. The swirls dies are from memory box. The stamped sentiment is from Lavinia stamps

Thanks Sue for a Fab demo

A paper bouquet

Hi
I have made this bunch of flowers for a crafting friend who is in hospital...as you can't take real flowers into hospital I think this will cheer her up...I used the stunning new 12x12 pre-made rosettes , buttons, twine, raffia  all  from the new  Trimcraft  Range called Forget me not. The flowers have been hot glued onto long kebab sticks so they will stand up.The flowers have been made using punches ,dies and the large flowers are called Kusudama flowers and were made using  an origami technique I found HERE on  youtube .
 I also wrapped some papers around a plain vase to match .
