Diwali Card

Bad Blogger!!!! Over a month again. Hang my head in shame :0((

Anyhow, I was asked to make a Diwali Card. I was very nervous about it as I have not made anything like it before. But I think it has turned out ok.

3 70th Birthday Cards

Here are three cards I have made for my Aunt's 70th Birthday this month. This top one is an 8" x 8" card. The 70 is cut out of glitter card and 'dangled' with some jump rings. The front, below is done with Happy Birthday cut out on the Cricut and prima flowers added and gem brads in the middle.

The one above is a 'Penny Spinner Card' which I thought would be a bit of a novelty for her

This last one is done using the Arty Farty Poppy template and two put together so it opens as a double card. Again the 70 is dangling using jump rings.

Canvas

I had a pack of 3 canvas' and didn't know what to do with them. While at the craft fayre I saw several bits and pieces of fabric, silk tubes and some molded shapes.

I created a 3 canvas picture with them. First I stapled the background fabric to the base and then cut and frayed the next layer then stapled that on top of the base fabric.

I used the silk rolls, various threads and textures to create as sea bed scene and added some small shells I found. I used a bit of liquid pearls to highlight different elements on the base fabric
Below are the 3 different canvas's in close up, the main picture isn't too good

Not so long this time

Recently I did a 10 day craft show which was great fun. I would have made a decent profit if there hadn't been so many talented crafters there who 'forced' me to spend my money!!!

Anyway, while there I knitted myself a short jacket with hand spun and hand dyed wool. I am rather proud of myself as I haven't knitted since the kids were little.

I also did these two pictures in box frames and embellished them. The top one is a dreamcatcher embellished with feathers and beads and the bottom one is a 'flapper' who has been coated in glossy accents and faux gems.

Dolphin Picture

I love this image, even without decoupage it looks as if it is coming at you.

I have put it in a box frame from Tesco!!! I used the 'frame' that came with it and coloured it using brilliance ink pads in shades of blue. Decoupaged 5 layers so that the dolphins are coming over the inner frame and a bit of glitter glue just to hi-light the splashes of water.

Sorry it's not a better picture.

Thanks for looking :O))
