Hello and welcome to my blog.
Today I am playing catch up so will be showing a few recent makes.
First off I have a wedding card to show.
For the flowers on this card I used the Rosy Dot AC1 die and made some basic quick and easy flowers that I then jazzed up with some of the fabulous new stamens from 14 Craft Bar.
I cut the box card, bag, cake and all the paper elements using my Silhouette Cameo
For this card I used for the first time some of the plastic greenery available from 14 Craft Bar, at first when I seen this I didn't like the look of it too much but when I gave it a coat of white Gesso it completely changed how it looked so I think I will have to stock up on those now :)
For the little flowers I used the Rosy Dot AC3, I love using these little flowers as there is not much to be done in terms of shaping them, just place on the iron until they curl and then press into the middle. Super easy and they are great for filling out the larger flowers.
I used Inktense pencils to color the chipboards from the weddings and love collection in 14 Craft Bar and then dabbed over them with a babywipe to give a blended washy look.
The next thing I have to share with you are 2 corsages I made. I had never tried to make a corsage before so it was a fun learning experience.
This first one was for my son's beautiful girlfriend.
For the Calla Lilies I hand cut an upside down heart shape with a long tail. I rolled only the edges of the petal and then using a large ball tool I shaped the bottom of the lily. I then colored it with oil pastels and used the edge of the iron to curl the edges of the flower. I covered some heavy florists wire with white florists tape then coated with clear nail varnish and then dipped in white glitter to make the stamens.
Here is my son looking a little lost as to how to put a corsage on lol, but he managed in the end.
Don't they look very glamorous!!
Next up is a corsage I made for a beautiful young lady called Marta, Marta is the daughter of Agnieskza (or Agnes for short) who is the owner of 14 Craft Bar so it was a real honor to be able to make this corsage for the daughter of Irelands Foamiran queen ;)
I had been sent a photo of Marta's beautiful dress which was lace and super elegant. The dress was a lovely light peach which was a perfect match for the pale peach Foamiran.
I used the largest die from the Rosy Dot AC1 set. This die makes an almost life sized rose.
I added some tulle with silver dots and a feather from my stash and then attached it all to a wide satin ribbon.
Marta's dress had some silver beading on it so I made a little spray with crystals to add some bling.
I used a leaf mold to add detail to the green Foamiran leaves.
And here is the stunning Marta wearing her gorgeous lace dress and Foamiran corsage.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope a wood weekend will be had by all!
