A Flash of Inspiration

Recently I was at a Craftwork Cards workshop and Sue showed us how to make these roses, well I loved them and they have been sitting on my counter. Last night I made some more to go with them. This time I used the back to basic flower shapes, stamped them with the script and spritzed them with some glimmer mists before folding the shapes. When they were all folded I stuck them to a circle of card and hey presto. Now I'm thinking table decorations for Christmas.

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout. Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking. I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic. Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip.
