Happy Colourific Thursday to you 

Today I am sharing with you some Pinkness

I have used the lovely Stamp Set

Chrysanthemum

I stamped and fussy cut the flowers layering them for depth

My background paper is one that was recomended to me I totally love B n M's cheapy 12 x 12 the quality is so very good and there double sided

Someone said try the Works, No local Works but there were a few other bits I looked at so I placed an online order ,  a code popped up free delivery over £10 ~ pretty good so far of course I spent a lot more than £10!

There wasn't much variety in 12 x 12 pads to be honest and the one I had my beady on was Out Of Stock, grrrrr I did spot another called Summer Dreams so popped that in my basket

and this is one of the sheets , I don't think its as good as quality as what I normally use but perfect for card making and this sheet fitted perfectly with my pink theme.

I used some random dies and finished it off with some sparkly gems

This Stamp Set is sure up there in my Top favourites

See you Next Week for another Colourific Thursday

Happy Tuesday Everyone

What an exciting day ....Not only is it my Birthday.....but.......

I have been busy making some samples for todays show's on

Create & Craft for the lovely Jo from Pinflair

the shows are at 2.00 and 9.00

There will be a few posts from me today to show you what I made

and will start by showing you the wheelbarrow

I totally had a blast making all my projects I totally am in love with the Cartonnage kits

I wish in hindsight I had taken step by step photo's of this as at every turn and drop of paint I squealed a bit more , I really did not want to part with this so I am going to make one for me too

When I first saw this my vision was to build it with flowers across the top , it soon became clear this was not going to work to well.

I started off painting the body 

Using Pinflair Buff-It  Liquid Orange

Once dry I added some stencilling.

 I then  used Pinflair Glue - It Bookbinding Glue (I used this for all my cartonnage makes) to put the body together

To get the rust effect (this is on the inside of the wheelbarrow too as some bits show)

I used Pinflair Rust - It Orange

Using a sponge to apply first and then dabbing it on , I loved this I wanted to give everything a rust effect, Using Pinflair Buff-It Slate to give it some colour

Using Pinflair Buff - It Liquid Black the wheels were painted

Once I had stopped faffing and it was all dry it was assembly time I was dreading this bit as it looked as if it may be tricky but it was soooo, so easy the instructions are so clear

I was so chuffed at this point I loved the orange so after much head scratching I came up with using sunflowers, I loved the idea but then I hit a major problem half way through making my sunflowers I ran out of Orange card stock, thank goodness for Amazon Prime!!

Sunflowers made , Bee's attached I made a little tag and a mini trowel to finish.

I do hope you will watch the shows there are really some stunning makes to be seen and of course some scrummy goodies

Fiskars Day

What a very wet Wednesday we are having

I have just come in from shopping luckily the rain missed us but is absolutly pouring down now

For my little project that I am sharing today I went with a card and matching tag.

 I cut lots of little lines of paper so easy with my paper trimmer and weaved together my center . For my flowers I used a mixture of punches, heart/circle/flower, and feather for the leaves. I'm loving sitting playing with shapes to see what I can make .

 I added a few sparkly sequins , some matching pearls and a snip of ribbon to finish 

Thank you for looking today

But lets just say dreams can come true....

Have a great Bank Holiday Weekend to my UK friends

and a Happy weekend to everyone else too

~~~~~oo~~~~~

Anyways on to my Fiskars project for this week

I made some little  little pillow boxes , I used my Fiskars heart punch to decorate the front punching out twice, so the patterned one sits onto the white. I then used my lovely heart shaped hand punch which is so cute and now lives forever on my craft desk.

 I used the tag punch for my sentiments just trimmed to fit my projects. I finished off with the butterfly punch and added some sparkly gems to finish, Perfect for those little gifts or fill with sweeties

Thank you so much for stopping by today
