Exploding box....



Here is the box I mentioned earlier, thanks so much for popping back...
A bit picture heavy so I will try keep the chat to a minimum...
Bigger than I thought it would be...
As you can see I stencilled it with texture paste, used a beautiful die from a friend, and a fairy die from ebay....
I wrote quotes, googled gardener sentiments to fill every side...
The wheel barrow was much bigger than I expected, but went with it and am so happy with the finish, that and all chippie were from Live and Love crafts, sadly Sandy closed the shop....
once I filled the barrow with flowers, I built a base for it to stand on, some foam and lots of tissue paint and flower soft, it took a while because of the drying time, but I was ok with the finish...
Trying to show as many angles as I can...
Once I had the box made, I made the lid, I think I do everything ass upwards, but it gets done,lots of tiny pearls added too, tulle and fibres on there don't think they showed up so well, but you get the gist...
Last but not least the tag for when it's all ready to hand over, she will be delighted I know, everything she loves on here, especially pink and Butterflies...haha...
Would like to enter this into the following challenges...
CraftyGirlsCreations, ATG..
SimonSaysWednesday challenge Showers/ flowers... 
CraftyCardmakers challenge...Pearls... 
Well I hope you will tell me what you think of my creation....thanks so very much for being here...have a fab weekend...take care...xxx

Little box...


Hi All, hope your all fine, cold isn't it....oh well, I am here to show this little box I made, nothing special, just a very pretty Mo Manning image, coloured with my usual Flexmarkers, papers are from a gorgeous pad by Paper Designer, metal bits were from LLC...
She is so elegant, I realise the light bouncing off her beautiful 'bottom' is making her look like she has cellulite, she hasn't, I promise....haha
I want to enter the challenge over at Passion for Promarkers, problem being, as per I read the details wrong, could swear it said  SPOTS AND STRIPES...turns out it was just spots, so, I am adding it in and hope I will be forgiven on this occasion...if not, well, thems the breaks...lol...
Thanks for the visit, see you all Friday if not before....xxx

A very chilly day...



Hello lovely bloggers, what a cold day, I've had to put the heating on, freezing...
Anyway, I have a little something to show, I was cleaning up a file or two and this hasn't been blogged yet, so here we go...
It's a small canvas, just played around adding bits and bobs, as you can see, a TH clock die and some stencilling from another of Tim's sets, beads, studs, wings a small metal clock face charm,and a star, all covered in gesso, black acrylic,bronze and blue paints, then when dry, a nice touch of Deco Art champagne cream rub....
It's been stood on a shelf waiting for me to do something with it, sure it will come in handy...
Well hope you like, I love playing with all this stuff, don't you, I never know where it will end, not always as pictured in my head at all...
See you Friday I hope for the new Challenge at CraftyCatz, hope you'll join us...take care...xxx

Happy Monday...



Good morning, seems odd being here on a Monday, but a change is as good as a rest they say...
I have a little wreath I made a while ago, and have just put it up as a touch of Spring in the house, don't you just LOVE Spring time....I do...but then I embrace all the seasons really, love a change...
ANYWAY, I had the bones of this laying about for ages, almost binned it but then thought, you never know....!!!!!
I cut the tabs off the sides and began stringing it round and round, but when it was done I didn't care much for it, so I found some raffia and covered it, then added some flowers I had from wild orchid, and what do you know..........I like it, brightens the door up abit....
I am happy for now with the way it turned out, hope you agree....
Off to see if I can find a challenge for this one, not sure....
xxxxHave a really nice day, take care and thanks so much for your visit...xxxx
