Tattered Floral

Here is today's poject - it is a flower cut from tim holtz alterations cutting die "Tattered Florals"   I used two pepsi cans to cut out the petals and coloured them with adirondack alcohol inks -  Wild Plum and Butterscotch to make the varigated colours, I used a plum coloured flower brad to hold them all together in the centre and stuck a brooch fixing on the back.

steampunk top hat!

 Here is a top hat I made today, just because I wanted to make one,   I got the template from AR creations, they have lovely templates there, I used white card stock and printed out the template onto the card and I stained it with Ranger distress ink Walnut I used Tim's Movers and shapers Gears together with a heap of stuff I had in my stash ie: a little bit of vintage lace, with Kaiser stick on pearls,  a small white rose that I stained with the Walnut distress ink,  I used a clock charm and a little brass piece that has a red flower and brass leaves and a beaded bracelet that I got in some bits and  pieces that was given to me for my crafty things, I think it all came together very well.

four leafed clover for

Here is the four leafed clover that I made to wear to the St.Patrick's lunch I am going to.   I stamped out green hearts, four for the bottom layer and four for the top.   The lower leaves are dark and the upper light, I used a green gemmed brad for the centre and used green kindyglitz for the sparkle and glued them all together down the centre of the top leaves, I cut out a circle to glue them all onto,(for a base)  to hold all the leaves together, and I cut out a small green stem. I glued a brooch fixing on the back so that I can pin in on my clothes.   I am happy with this, I think it might work, if it doesn't work, I've got some green ribbon that I will just tie in a bow and wear that.

Happy Easter

 These cards are my Easter cards, I only make a few to send to my special friends, I used Dyan Revealey inks for the backgrounds with some stamps, Stampendous stamps and I cut the grass at the bottom of the card out of scrap green paper that had little yellow flowers on it, the bunny came from an  image found on the "Graphic Fairy" site and I used small lace flowers, for an accent, I cut out the banners and on the first one I hand wrote the Happy Easter before remembering that I had alpha stamps which I used on the second card. I had fun making these cards, I made multiples as I have a few to send out.

Up,up and away

I made this card to go into the "Tip Top Tuesday" challenge No.96, which is to have "Balloons, Spaceshops, planes etc" so I used stamps from Heidi Grace designs, for the large balloon and the biplane and I used free stamps from "craftstamper" for the flags, and the small balloons, I used a blue ink for the shading around the edges.

Thinking of you

Todays card is made with the flags being made with scraps of paper from my scrap basket!  I also cut the Tim Holtz Tattered flower from old gift wrap, and the sentiment is from an old stamp set that I have had for ages, I hand drew the faux stitching around the edges, some of the edges did not come out on the scanner, but it was drawn on both sides and along the bottom of the card.   I am going to enter this card in the Tim Holtz Tattered Flower challenge

Shabby Chic Challenge

I made this card to go into the challenge on Our creative Corner, Shabby Chic Inspiration where you need to use the colours in the photo with fabric flowers and a crown.  I made this card with white cardstock embossed with a impress embossing folder "Heather Border" the sentiment stamp is from "Stampendous" and the crown is a Quickutz that I have had for ages in my stash, the little flowers are fabric and lace and I have had them for a long time.
