Poppies 2015

Today I am showing my updated poppies. I first made these in 2013, with a black button in the centre, this year they are updated with seed beads in the centre. The felt is cut using Paperartsy dies for the poppy and Tattered Leaves die for the leaves. Last time I sold 95 and donated nearly £100 to the British Legion. So aiming higher this time!!!!

Parchment paper/Embossing folders

As I have one cracked uploading to my blog from my iPad I am on a roll.

Here are three cards made using parchment paper and embossing folders, I have used this technique in the past but this time I have used Clean Color watercolour brush pens. These dry very quickly and therefore do not affect the parchment paper.

I would have liked better pictures but as its late at night there is no natural light, must remember to do better!!!!

Craftworks Cards Potting Shed

Trying a new way of blogging. Here are a few of my samples used in the workshop I did recently for Keep on Crafting in Bury St Edmunds.

Update

Sorry  I have been a bad blogger, nothing since March so I am going to try again to post more. I had a lovely day yesterday at Crafting a Time with Darcy making an album and a bag, lovely techniques will try for some pictures when they are completed.

Just one more

Love this little guy, he is so cute, for this card, which is for my Thursday morning craft group, I have stamped in black archival ink and then zentangle doodled and added a few gems for colour.  I have previously coloured him with Promarkers, but cant find that picture.

More Samples

These are two samples for the WI adult learners taster day, the Suffolk West Federation are running at Sturmer in June, know it is ages off but need to have samples ready for the Federation Annual Meeting next week.  I have used Imagination Crafts stencils, Distressed Inks and Liquid Pearls.
