Circle waste !!

Morning peeps !!

Had a fab time yesterday with friends making christmas decorations,  we flittered and glittered and made bead charms to hang at the bottom of each of our wood decorations. !!  Great fun was had by all  and we all got in a bit of a mess !!

Anyway here is my last Little Claire card using the new stamp club set called "Swirlball Flowers" which I said about in my last post from yesterday.  I've used the waste from the diecut circles and embossed it with a script embossing folder.

Mounted it on 3d foam tape onto a green card, then punched out 8 smaller circles of white card, coloured with a green promarker and then stamped just the flower head onto each one. Coloured all of the flowers in different colours and finished off with an edge of black dots. then glued each one on the card base. The centre cirle is the origional diecut with on of the sentiments.

 There you have it !!

Swirlball Flowers

Good afternoon peeps !!

Boy last night the wind really picked up, but we still had fireworks going off all round us !!  How on earth they managed to set them off and safely I don't know !!

Anyway start of a new month means new Little Claire club stamps !!

"Swirlball Flowers"

Such a pretty set and here are a couple of cards I've made.

 Included in the set is a cute single flowerhead stamp and thats what I have used to make my background paper. The circles are from a die cut sheet which is white, but I colour matched them using promarkers and then used the sets sentiments. For the blue and pink borders I just used promakers again to egde white card.

 For the second card I used the framed flowers and butterflies and stamped it four times rotating each time time. Coloured in with promarkers and edged it with black dots. Again used one of the circle die cuts for the sentiment.

I've made one more card using the Swirlball Flowers which I'll show you tomorrow....never throw anything away even your die cut circle waste !!

And how about winning this fab die !!

I've made this cute gift box of notelets using

 Benson- Just For You digi stamp

 

I love this paper by  Dovecraft called "Garden Party", the colours and patterns are so pretty.

Done my usual of printing and then fussy cutting out Benson, then colouring him in with promarkes colour matching the flower with the paper. The sentiment is a stamp by Stampin Up. Just had to finish off with some faux stitching.

I've called it a faux chalkboard recipe display stand, what a mouth full !! It really does look like a real chalkboard when in fact its just a piece of black card !!
