A Basket of Blooms

Spring is on it's way here and our Host Sue has picked

Basket for our Word Week at Just Us Girls.

Perfect timing for me to fill a basket with pretty blooms.

We also welcome our New Guest Designer

Julie Beech from Crafted by Jules

I really enjoyed creating this card. I have had the

basket die in my stash for 'years' 

and it is from Marianne Designs.

I die cut it from an inked piece from my  bits box.

Added a touch of colour with AA Sparks/Waxes

as I knew I wanted to use them for some of my flowers.

For my background I used

Spellbinders Opulant Ovals and Floral Ovals

from metallic card stock.

The main flower and leaves are from 

 Sizzix Thinlits 664377 Dies 

cut from leftovers from the different card stock  used here.

Smaller flowers are MS punch.

Centre of some of the flowers have Liquid Pearls.

Card base is same metallic paper.

Tag Time for Creative Artiste

 Today's post is for the New Anything Goes  

Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge.

This month I chose to make a Tag!

I did manage to  take a few pics along the way.

Started out with a die cut tag, Added Gesso randomly

then inked with distress ink, stamping

a couple of flourishes and added some glitter.

Adding on texture with lace, cheesecloth and coloured skewers

Finished with lots of greenery behind my flower,

ribbon and gems.

Head over and see what my Talented Team Mates

created for your pleasure and how about joining us
