Craftwork Sunday.

Hi Eveyone in blogland.

I realise its been a while since my last blog ... ooo am I  confessing my sins lol    oh well ha ha maybe here a while... well it has been an event full month as you may know I started a new job and now I am on my 5th week , had first pay day and am doing well.

I also had a small Operation on my silly ligament and had lots of steroid pumped into it so I am hoping that will make it feel a bit better for walking on it. Not as yet convinced as had several before.

I have had a shuffle about with my design teams and I am now no longer designing for  Die'sire with Crafter's companion  and will miss the girls immensely but will keep in touch with them of course. I am half way through my time with Memorymaze Australia now and have almost completed my first month with Heartfelt Creations US  plus  I will be with Craftwork cards like a limpet on the rocks under the sea haha.. for as long as they will have me. I am of course looking for more things to do if anyone has something coming up. I also hope to have some other news very soon  so for today I will how the cards I made for   Craftwork Cards this month

 The stunning new Tea Dance Collection.

 A view inside this Tent card to show how pretty is finishes a card to decorate the inside to match.

This is a good shot cos you can pick up the Micro beads used over the Paper from the Tea Dance pad.

I love this so much i think I may micro bead anything that stands still or cover it in UTEE from my melt pot both techniques I am currently rocking to death lol..

Next..

I used their gorgeous new frames with some of the Tea Dance paper here and lots of Candi crushed in the flower too.

And lastly ..

They have some special goody boxes and I was lucky enough to receive all three and this one had mannequins in it so here was my little pink vintage version, just look at the little shoes...

Lots of glitter sparkle lacquer on this... I made the little cotton reel

with 2 pieces of Candi and some seem binding in a role with the cord wrapped

around, cool hey...

Anyway tomorrow will have a new post and I will show what I have been doing for Heartfelt Creations so far..

What have you al been up to this Bank holiday weekend so far?

love always

Especially for you

Hello Crafters
First of all Happy Sunday, Hope your all having a great weekend out there in blog land, I've been tucked up in bed most of it with a rotten cold so no new posts last couple of days. Today I got up and decided I must get some new cards to photo and share with you all.

I found this lovely little topper of the Hedgehog in the pinny watering her Daisies in the garden and wondered what I could do to bring it to life. 

• Firstly, I added some glossy accents to the middles of the Daisies Which looked pretty I added some also into the water can but somehow it wasn't enough to look like water so then I added some micro beads (these things are actually smaller than a pinhead.) the effect was lovely although you can't really see by the photo but it looks like water spilling over.
• Next I matted it onto a toning piece of card stock.
• I took an 8x8 base card (which I use a lot as I like the amount of room this square shape gives you to create.) And found a lovely green backing paper I inked it slightly to give it a bit more tone and found it looked a bit flat so added some lace embellishments in the form of rub ons to the bottom of the card and also to the top left and bottom right for balance to the topper to be placed.
• I wrapped a thin ribbon around the green backing paper and made a messy bow ready to add at the end to match.
• So I stuck down the and added the topper onto the lace rub on added earlier. I took a sentiment and distressed it a little and used a little white pen to go over the 'Especially for you ' text as it looked a little too perfect. 
• I attached my Bow and then found some lovely natural flowers in my crafty stash so added a few top right and bottom left again with the balance in mind. and my last addition was to added a small flourish which I cut down from a larger one in my kit. to beside the sentiment.
• Of course I added an insert as I feel no card is complete without something to finish the inside whether it's a matted and layered sentiment or a personalised text or even a pretty paper with a sentiment but never a blank card. 

So that's today's card, hope you liked it and that you pop by an see the extra items to be added this week.
