Dear Valentine

With Valentine's Day just around the corner,

thoughts turn to love & romance.

I used patterned papers by my favourite K & Company designer, Brenda Walton

to cover a mountboard heart.

The edges were sanded.

I punched two holes in the top with my Crop-a-dile,

through which to thread some of my favourite ribbon.

I composed a Haiku poem & printed the words out using a typewriter font,

so as not to give any clues as to who wrote it!

I used a little black ink around the cut out elements & the torn papers,

Distress Ink over the typed words (antique linen)

& the elements were coated in Glossy Accents.

More ribbon & an old button for added texture & dimension.

Butterflies

The challenge theme on Creative Wednesday is

Butterflies.

I have made another pennant this time using papers designed

by Vanessa Arbuthnott for The English Paper Company,

wonderful images from Crafty Computer Paper (now Homecrafts),

a clear stardust pen by Sakura,

an old button, eyelets & organza ribbon.

Marry me

I enjoyed making the small banner for the Creative Wednesday challenge this week that I have now made my third!



I have used the same image ( from Crafty Computer Paper ) & papers from K&Company again.

Secrets never to be told

I enjoyed making the small banner for the Creative Wednesday challenge this week, that I have made another segment. Not sure what the correct terminology to use here.



I have used the same image ( from Crafty Computer Paper ), papers from K&Company again, the keyhole is one of Tim's Grungeboard elements, gold Stickles & a really cute metal key charm by 7 Gypsies.

Extravagant Stories

The challenge on Creative Wednesday is to create a banner.

I have made just one section, for now.


I have used a mountboard base covered with K&Company paper and a lovely image from Crafty Computer Papers copyright-free graphics cd.

I have also used silver craft wire, an old button, a divine metal dragonfly charm, the crown is one of Tim's Grungeboard elements and some luxurious fibre to hang my banner up.
