A Dream

Hello, I hope you are well, and surviving the difficult times our world is going through. I don’t ever dream but if I did,  I think I would be whisked up, up and away in my wheelchair by a cascade of beautiful butterflies. This imaginary dream inspired me to create my wall hanging, more details are on the Calico Craft Blog today.

Sunflowers

Hello how are you, during this very different Summer? Ive not been out since early March when my dr  called me and told me to stay home. So when the weather has been nice enough I have been spending my summer in the garden. Our sunflowers are my inspiration for this card.

I stamped my lovely little girl approximately halfway up the slimline card, and fussy cut around her top part and then cut straight across the card. After water colouring the inside of the card which would now be visible, I water coloured the little girl and the remaining  part of the front of the slim card. She is carrying sunflowers, but you can never have too many sunflowers, so I die cut some more in plain white card and water coloured them. I adhered some to the inside of the card, and also some on the front of the card.

Summer Garden

Hello, how are you today? A summer garden is my inspiration for my project over on Calico Craft Parts Blog today. I used some dried rose petals from our own garden for the pathway up to the door. I used a heart for the door as home is where the heart is.

Beside the Seaside

Oh wouldn’t it be nice to be beside the Seaside beside the sea! I won’t be seeing the sea this year, so I have consoled myself with making a Seaside scene. The little lady is certainly enjoying her ice cream! More details about how she came to life are over on the Calico Craft Parts Blog , I hope you can pay her a visit.I found the most brilliant thing to make really realistic looking ice cream! 

Take care, and please stay safe, thank you for visiting me today xx.
