Jar of Flowers

By
My friend Louise came round to one of workshops last week bringing with her a card that she wasn't very pleased with claiming that it would probably end up in the bin. I exclaimed in horror, snatched it from her and  removed an item that definitely was NOT going in the bin and today I have used it on a card - take a look


The item in question is the acetate jar that my flowers are reposing in - here is a close up it's from the Perfectly Preserverd set


Did you notice the sentiment stamped onto the Petite Curly Label?


That's stamped using a new punch for my This & That bundle that arrived this morning. (More details about This & That - HERE)
The flowers (Fabulous Florets) were stamped and embossed using a white embossing powder before then being coloured with a marker pen and attached using a Dimensional.

Like the colours? I'm using the combo from a challenge here at The Cardiff Crafter

ACC01

(Please do drop me an e-mail if you would like to order any of the above items or indeed any Stampin' Up product from the two current catalogues found in my side bar - all my details are above in the top tabs - thanks).

See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I am glad that it was upcycled, and into such a beautiful card! Love how you did those flowers - will have to give that a try.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
