Shabby Chic Handmade Flowers

Hi to all of my friends and followers in blogland! I'm so happy as i have managed to make some handmade flowers using dryer sheets and i think they turned out very well! I watched the tutorial on Youtube but i can't find it now as there are so many! 

I distressed the top layers of the flowers with TH Distress Inks and sprayed with Ranger Perfect Pearls mist.
Used my Heat tool and a candle.
Added some pearl pins and metal embellishments

Altered DVD Storage Unit & Cases

Good morning everyone and Happy Easter! I hope you are not stuffing your faces with chocolate eggs cos' i will be jealous as i haven't got any, boo! hoo!
******************
I have something different to share with you all today.
I have altered an old DVD storage unit and made it into a crafty storage for my pens, inks and wooden rubber stamps.
This is the unit before altering.

Here i have adhered some pretty
pink Dovecraft paper and distressed with paint.

Here is a close up of the paper.
I have diecut a few pieces using my Magnolia Doohickey 'Old Swedish Lace' die and added some sequin trim.

The next thing i did was to stamp all over the top and sides with my Prima 'Botanical' stamp using Sepia ink.
Now i cut some paper to fit the dvd cases and stamped the same image all over and inserted them into the cases making them look much prettier i think.


And the finished look! I will probably change things around a few times until i'm happy with it.

Vintage Tilda Card


Hi there, is everyone looking forward to the weekend! It started off frosty here in the NE of England but the sun came out and it's quite pleasant so i hope it's the start of a lovely weekend.
My card today is a birthday card featuring one of my favourite Magnolia stamps 'Tilda in Vintage Dress' and i've coloured her with TH Distress inks. I used my Spellbinders 'Floral Oval' die, cut with some lovely gold and silver card to mount her on. DPs are First Edition 'Dreamweaver'. I used Melissa Frances round pearls and lace, The Hobby House heart pearls and a handmade pin. I cut some Magnolia Doohickie lace flowers and cloud tag, ribbon and flowers ( which i glittered ) are from my stash.
I also cut some Whimsy banner dies, a Cheery Lynn corner die, MS border punch and added a metal butterfly charm.
