Over on the Crafts Beautiful Forum Rose*Angel is hosting a Oriental Themed challenge! I am not much of a person for Oriental things but, thought I would give this a shot as I found a couple of things to use for it.
I used a Decoupage design that I bought a couple of years ago. Found it a few weeks ago amongst all my craft stash. I layed it all on top of a small cut out black card then sticky fixed this to the backing paper of Basic Grey patterned paper. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and delighted that I have entered this challenge. I wish Goodluck to all of those who have entered this challenge of Rose*Angels.
Over on the crafts beautiful forum Laverne aka Golden Hipie, is hosting a challenge where you have to create a card with the theme of Autumn! This here is my entry where I have created a multi functional card which is a ard come wall hanging piece of craft art, somethin that is aesthetically pleasing for the receiver to enjoy rather than closing away in a drawer! I have created my design on a basic circular format using punched out flowers, ribbon rose buds, stitched on beads with bronze metallic thread, unusual shell type like beads (for bracelets), sequins and gorgeous brown paper with a turquoise butterfly! I am really delighted with this make as the design just happened itself as I played around!
