I made this card for my Scottish friend, who was 70 on the 6th April. Incidently, it would have been John and my 52nd wedding Anniversary, but, it wasn't to be.<br />
<br />
The card is satin finish card, with an embossed square, inked round the edge. The circle is lace' placed on sparkly paper [well, it had to be sparkly !]. The 70 is cut out, covered with crumpled kitchen foil and coloured with alcohol inks.<br />
I found the butterfly die cut in my cuttle bug box. It is a Tim Holtz. Cut out in parchment, then embossed and mounted on shiny paper.<br />
<br />
Not having done craft for quite a while, due to an emotional time lately, I was quite pleased with the finished product and hope she likes it toosparkleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994402233165477871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880888680752297779.post-58025804658503988612013-12-18T09:44:00.000+01:002013-12-18T09:44:01.526+01:00Christmas CandlesI decorated four candles as thankyou presents.. Very easy really, made with metal sheets cut out with a fir tree die, on my Cuttlebug. Then, I dry embossed them with a plate which looed like branches. I fixed them round with tiny nails and finished off with peel off dots<br />

Been to my Daughters for a week and come back refreshed, so, might try something new. I don't know what yet, but my Bessie has been doing crochet, so will find my hooks, and have a go. No competition, just having a go.<br />

I went to Jennie Boxall's [Artistic Stamper] on Saturday, for the workshop with the one and only Andy Skinner. A really talented crafter , and it was a pleasure to meet and work with him.<br />
I can't tell you the mediums we used, there wer too many, but basically, It is rusted. It does work and I am really pleased with my effort.sparkleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994402233165477871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880888680752297779.post-77419667184651971092013-03-01T16:51:00.002+01:002013-03-01T16:51:50.262+01:00Octopode Factory Friday Challenge<a href="http://frillyunderwear.blogspot.co.uk/"><img alt="" height="211" id="Image1_img" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVJPII9acOCscM9F_4d5ytAL9H45VrgMk6MrvITQG7Gsy9YHsU9SmfMSh0aQMhuX6pKsHcCASKSOB02YTGrunPitfRu8min2823VoAHpOUC1zOejpcnUyc8KMXYtt7EJZQXp2M2tkkpo_6/s1600/img549gg.png" width="170" /></a>This time we have 'Hearts' to play with, so I used'Queen of hearts', houses and patterns.

Sons Birthday tomorrow, but as David is very keen on cameras and filming, I put this together. It is a proper photo, taken when my orchard was a park, well known in Sittingbourne. This was taken in Edwardian times and has a lot of history connected to it.<br />

I haven't done an awful lot of crafting just lately, due to a slight 'falling down the stairs' accident which knocked me back a bit, BUT as it was a Silver Wedding Anniversary coming up, I made the effort to get off my backside,, and make a card. Not that it is very imaginative, but it was for two very special people, who I love very much.<br />
Pearlised card with metal embossed centre, hearts and the 25 [which looks like 52 !] The 'Best Wishes is powder embossed. <br />
I am off to Bonnie Scotland for a month now, and DIL wants to try parchment craft, so must dig out my tools to take with me.The obligatory touch of sparkle round the centre metal and some confetti in the envelope lolsparkleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994402233165477871noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880888680752297779.post-68865772106392853442012-07-12T10:42:00.001+02:002012-07-12T10:42:23.140+02:00Play Date Cafe Challenge<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxUuVg4biLW7cnNWQOrsfGeiUl1NOZZeES1jUrN7btdMTwC-s0JYZmP78tMb1QGYM7bSgsfdZfrE6zaVdf37QTmPbyoUey6qzZfr2YPGB33kKtQQXyVlB8zq3GvgplZq3be0Th93e46Q/s1600/0color+story+140.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxUuVg4biLW7cnNWQOrsfGeiUl1NOZZeES1jUrN7btdMTwC-s0JYZmP78tMb1QGYM7bSgsfdZfrE6zaVdf37QTmPbyoUey6qzZfr2YPGB33kKtQQXyVlB8zq3GvgplZq3be0Th93e46Q/s200/0color+story+140.jpg" width="200" /></a>I have been making shabby chic flower brooches for charity. Camilles Appeal which is for childrens brain cancer tumours.<br />
This one seems to fit the bill this week.<br />
<br />
There is a die which can be used, but I cut these out by hand ! <br />
<br />
I just used spare fabric, and a button with the brooch pin on the back<br />

Visits to the beach before getting organised for the charity garden party, for 'Camilles Appeal' .

Nicki baked LOADS of cakes and scones</a>sparkleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01994402233165477871noreply@blogger.com0
