Wings and Things

Happy Saturday,

I had a fabulous girly day yesterday with my eldest daughter, who also had the day off school (it felt like we were playing hooky!). We had lunch out, went to the cinema to see 'Pitch Perfect 2' after watching the first film during the morning in our pjs (I know, my guilty pleasure is showing) and then a little retail therapy - a great way to spend the day.

Over at Fantasy Stampers we have a brand new challenge beginning today and I know this is one of my favourites, hope you will think so too. For the next two weeks we would love to see your projects featuring

'WINGS AND THINGS'

Here's my DT inspiration for the challenge ...

This is a piece I made a couple of years ago for myself - it hangs proudly on my lounge wall. It shows a multitude of stamps from my stash all depicting some kind of 'wings' - hope you will forgive me for showing you something from the past, but I do still love it to this day.

I can't wait to see all your own interpretations of the theme.

Hugz, Jan xx

Wings and Things

Hi everyone,

It's Friday again, which means it's challenge day over at Polkadoodles and it was my turn to choose the theme this week.  I had to pick something which allowed me to use one of my favourites - butterflies, but I am looking forward to seeing all the different interpretations of 'Wings and Things'.  Here's what I made for the challenge ...

I chose a pretty pink paper, some gorgeous black silhouette butterflies and a lovely sentiment from the Candy Doodles CD to make a wall hanging for my craft room.  I started with the paper and arranged all the black butterflies and sentiment before printing it out.  I then masked some of the butterflies before adding lots of extra interest to the paper with some 'Spun Sugar' distress ink.  I cut out another butterfly and treat it to a sprinkling of pink glitter before adding it to the oval nestie focal point. The project is mounted on black mirri card, then again on pink card before I added a piece of black ribbon for hanging and the usual sprinkling of adhesive gems for a bit of extra bling!

Don't forget to pop over to the blog for some great ideas from my fab teamies.
