28th March, An Elegant Card

Hi good morning, the sun is shining and it is a beautiful day here in South Yorkshire, UK. Lets hope that this cold snap we have been having is finally on it's way and Summer is just around the corner.

I have a pretty elegant card to show you that was done with some Foamiran flowers in a pretty shade of lilac with cream and pale turquoise card. The die used for this card is a Tattered Lace large die set.

I added some dried gypsophilia to the flowers.

I did the inside of the card to compliment the front.

A closer peep at the flowers.

Thank you for having a look at my work and hope that it gives you some inspiration.

Have a lovely day, xx

17th March 2019 Colouring Foamiran Flowers.

Hi, well it has been a fair time since I last posted anything due to family commitments , other stuff and having a terrible cold. I have been playing with colouring Foamiran. I have all types of colouring stuff in my stash, from distress inks to Gelato's... you name it, I have got it.  I have been doing up my craft room, new shelves and found my Pan Pastels. Never used them for colouring but was really, I mean really pleased with the results.

The Foamiran used was the type you heat with your iron. The Foamiran was white, my favourite as you can colour them to any shade to match your work.I used a turquoise with lemon on one set and lilac with pink on the other set, using the twisting method and them shaping the flowers. I found that the two colours blended in together. Looks pretty.

I only have a few different colours in the Pan pastels, so had to purchase more pastels but went down the line of a boxed set of soft pastels, 48 different colours, loving them.

 Thank you for having a peep, enjoy your weekend, hugs xx
