Having had some playtime yesterday I decided that space was becoming an issue & started to have a little tidy up last evening. Well you can guess what that led to can't you.
This
Base is a square tent fold, I've been playing with folds recently. Yellow printed paper left over from a previous make, trimmed with the colonial cutting wheel to fit the card blank. Another black sparkly card square. The Wax paper "waste" from an earlier square themed project. A plush and padded black square presumably from a jewellery box cannot remember. The white crafters form flower is one I made last year part of my learning curve with this technique, some of the sparkly pink pink was dry brushed onto the flower for this project. The heart is a piece of Tando chipboard painted with Imagination Crafts sparkly paint. The words With Love were written with Quickie Glue Pen and pink glitter applied. Pink Glitter in my stash no idea how that got there or how long I've had it! A pink self adhesive gem dots the i in with, another winks at you from the top right side of the heart. Using some more of the multi coloured organza ribbon from the other day, this time focusing on just pink and yellow I hand tied a bow and popped another gem on top.
Lesson, a never throw anything away no matter how big the "might be useful one day" pile gets & b occasionally it is worth tidying up just a little, not to often mind treasures need time to get buried and forgotten.

Harley cat needs some more litter, the outdoors is not a suitable litter tray for a cat of his sensitivity so needs must, I'll wear my mask of course. Stay Safe, Keep Well, and HAVE FUN
A crafty tidy up usually leads to renewed inspiration I find Zoe and what a glorious bloom, thanks so much for sharing and joining in with our 'Beautiful Blooms' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thoughts on pens, I had totally forgotten about Whisper pens, did a Google search and as you suspected don't seem to be available anymore.

This is really lovely Zoe, the wax paper cut outs are always so pretty. I had to spend a day tidying my room too, I'd tipped my water pot over and not noticed so it got everywhere! I was really please though 'cos I found my paper distresser that had been missing for months lol. I hope you and Harley are keeping well, and thanks so much for joining in with us at Country View Crafts, Sue xx
