Foamiran Christmas Decoration

 

Hiya Everyone,

I hope that you are all set for Christmas? This month is very hectic for me and I haven't had a lot of time to craft.
I have a little project that I would like to share with you.

 

I purchased a few MDF hearts and other shapes from ebay a while ago to spend some time crafting with my daughter. Ashleigh will be home from university soon and we wanted to create a few, home made Christmas tree decorations for our new Christmas Tree.

We didn't have a tree last year, as I had just had another operation on my leg and needed the Christmas tree space, for my walking aid and wheel chair.

 

Anyway, enough of me Waffling on he he.
I discovered Foamiran on Noor Design and thought I would try out a sheet to see if I liked it.
Well....I am now addicted and have ordered more sheets in different colours, I really urge you to try it out!
There are lots of tutorials on Youtube to give you an idea of what you can make.

 

 A peek at all the layers!

 

 

I made this large poinsettia, from one of my dies, Marianne dies I think. It is six layers, I distressed it a little and added a few pearl stamens and lovely bling. It is the perfect size for my MDF heart, which I covered with Maja Christmas paper.

 

I also made the little Christmas branches, I cut a strip of paper and snipped it right along one of the longer edges and glued it to a piece of stiff wire and carefully wrapped it around the wire, to the bottom and hey presto you have a little Christmas branch!!!

 

I will pop back soon to share our other Christmas Tree Decorations!

Have a fabulous day!

Autumn Themed Gardening Tilda Card

 

Good Afternoon,

 

Here is my Autumn Themed Card using gardening Tilda.

 

I have coloured her with copics and added some stunning Prima roses and shaded a lot of the items in a mix of autumn colours with my DI's & Liquid pigment chalk.

 

 

Isnt this natural hessian Ribbon just divine!

Your Favourite Stamp, I am using Tilda with Snowy the snowman.

 

The amazing sponsor is Magnolia and you will receive a fabulous stamp direct from them to add to your collection!!

Tilda is coloured with copics, I have used Maja paper and die cut lots of  snowflakes and glittered them.

 

 

I have stamped some tiny snowflakes around Tilda and added some powdered flocking to her fluffy hat!

I also made the little candy cane from fimo, it looks a bit marbled, this is because I had to mix Magenta fimo with white to make a lighter pink.
