Ebay

I've added some more bits to Ebay at bargain start prices of 20p upwards.  These are mainly items I've been experimenting with where the glue hasn't gone quite where it should (you know that awful stringy stuff don't you?).  The full list of items is here

and these are a few piccies

September Challenge

Welcome to September.

This month sees the start of the autumnal equinox in this part of the world.
Your challenge is to use this picture from here as inspiration. It can be the colours, the ladies or anything else that inspires you.




Your prize this month is the following selection of flowers in colours to match the colour palette from the challenge.


I also provided the design team with some flowers from the colour palette above and let them loose
 with their imagination.

I loved these colours and knew my Prima Madeline Papers would be perfect with the gorjuss BLOOMS from the fab shop!

Well my eyes just grew when I saw the beautiful butterfly and flowers Kerry sent for this months challenge. I knew that they were going to be used on more than one project and so set about crafting straight away! The first project is a mdf book for my nephew's 21st, I used several flowers inside but also used the butterfly and this cream flower which I stamped for the back cover. Being a lad I have had to make the book simple but still decorative, this butterfly set the page off beautifully, I am sure he will find a suitable photo to add to it.
I was in the process of making this tag when Kerry's flowers arrived and they just finished it off so perfectly. I just love the overall feel of this piece and the flowers give added texture. The wings are stamped and then crackle glazed.

The above page is for a wedding album I am making as a gift. The paper is very pretty but needed a title and I decided to to it in the form of a tag. I love the stitching details on the flower and leaf embellishment.
