Hello friends,
Remember that fabric flower?
Well I had a little more of that fabric and used it as a background to a pretty frame.
I then made a further flower using the Dahlia die and lighter patterned fabric.
Again, just by adding some fabric glue and a tiny bit of pinching to the flower middle you
get that little bit of dimension. To finish I added a button to the middle and twine.
The little box frame is from Ikea.
I have an admission to make..I made this to submit to a magazine but I liked it so much
I knew I couldn't part with it. I've kept it!
It is on my shelf with other bits and bobs that make me smile.
BIG day tomorrow...so excited to share with you my project for the
Take care,
It's beautiful and sweet! Can't to see your reveal tomorrow!

Hi Christine, What a lovely idea I can see why you didn't want to part with it. I have had my Grand Calibur for only 15 months and it's broken, I have been so careful and only I have used it. To be honest £100 for just over a years use is not good, and I'm really not happy. Do you know if they can they be repaired???

Hi Christine, I am loving both cards todays and yesturdays. Looking forward to your reveal tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAlso have to say iam liking the new layout for the blog.
