Hanging Owl

Evening Everyone,

Well, it's been a busy last week of term but I had to find time to make up this gorgeous owl I bought at the NEC from Anna Marie Designs. I used My Minds Eye papers and of course had to add some flowers made using the Crafters Companion Die'sire dies, Dahlia and Small Rose.

I used the Collall Tacky Glue to adhere all my papers to the mdf shapes and to stick the mdf shapes on top of each other and they have all stuck beautifully, amazing glue!! I inked the edges of all the pieces with Tim Holtz brushed corduroy to cover the white edges of the paper.

I made the flowers using the die'sire dies and matching papers from the My Minds Eye paper pad and inked the edges once the flowers were assembled. I stuck them to the branch with Collall 3D glue gel.
A piece of brown organza ribbon knotted at the back finishes the hanging and now I just have to find somewhere to keep him!

Hope you like him
xx

Flower Gift Box

Hi Everyone,

Here is my project for this week using Crafters Companion die'sire quilling dies.

The box started out as a simple kraft papier mache box which I coloured green with peacock feathers Tim Holtz distress ink (it's come out a bit darker on the kraft card so more green than teal)

I added a contrasting patterned paper to the lid which I embossed with Embossalicious 6x6 petite dots embossing folder and then made paper flowers using coredinations card, the dahlia die'sire quilling die and leaf 2 die.

Hope you like it!

Rachelle Anne Miller CD Rom by crafters companion

I love this new CD by crafters companion, loads of cute animals and characters but not too cutesy so great for grown ups too.

I've used the embossalicious Grande dots and Sheena petite floral embossing folders as well as the die sire lace border 4 and of course some ribbon and pearly bits.

I printed the images and backing papers onto pearlescent paper which came out really well. Unfortunately my printer won't take centura pearl card but if yours will it will look fabulous with the lovely sheen that only centura pearl has.
