Hello my crafty pals. Thank you for visiting. You are
all looking slimmer today as my new graphics card has removed lbs (or kgs if
you prefer) from all of you. I’ve never been able to cut a straight line so I
smiled at the idea of cutting something wonky on purpose. I printed this
decoupage ages ago and I think it was probably a free download. I hadn’t a clue
what I wanted to do with it but just thought I would have a wee play. I made
the topper to start with using the Spellbinders wonky squares, then folded an A4 sheet of pearlescent card, then I
worked out roughly where to do the cut on each side and then where I wanted the
folds, I didn’t actually do any measuring so I think it worked out reasonably
well. I ran a bit of lace along the bottom mounted on matching coordination
card to the card used for the sides. I popped a few flowers, bead sprays and
pearls about and a Memory box die cut which I cut in half after gilding.
I was
not sure what order to put things onto my card and felt a bit “all thumbs” when
doing this one but still enjoyed it. I will catch up with viewing your blogs
soon if I don’t run out of steam. I have so much to learn.
and a sort of top view of it - lol.
Don't forget to have some crafty fun. xx Flora
