More Metal!

Hello!  For this week I have put together some simple key-rings for you...

I used flowers, a leaf and hearts from the Grab Bag Range.  These are extremely handy to keep in your stash and you get a lot in a bag!  I painted them up and then used some haberdashery from my stash to decorate them.  A very simple and quick little gift!

Thank you for looking today, Hugs, Karen x

A birthday card!

Hello, its Karen here with a card this time. 

As its the 1st week of the month we are following a colour chart and February's looks like ice-cream haha!  I created a painty background using the colours suggested and added a little light script stamping. The Tando *flower* and *leaf* have been painted the darker colours and edged with a white pen.  The leaf has been glittered and paper flowers added to the centre of the flower.  A little toning chiffon ribbon finishes it off.

If you fancy playing along with this weeks theme (or any week) you can now :-D  There is a random draw at the end of the month for prizes!!!!  Just link your work *here*  Here are the Tando pieces that I used:

Thank you for looking today, Hugs, Karen xxx

Summer Colours card

I thought it would be a bit mean to make something grey and miserable which is the exact colours of our Great British summer, so I am hoping the warm colours of this card will encourage some sunshine.

I took a selection of flowers from  ~{Flower Grab Bags}~ and painted some and glued patterned paper onto the others. The painted flowers had a text stamp stamped onto them and the paper flowers had their edges filed. All have buttons for the centres.
For the greeting I painted ~{Block Flourish 1}~ in white and green and stamped on the block.

Butterfly frame

Hello, its Karen here :-D .  Today I have a little plaque for you using lots of different Tando pieces.  I love these round frames which come in a nest! I have used the outer circle for this which measures 12cm across.

I painted it with acrylic and then crackled it with transparent Viva Decor.  The background was just painted & lightly stamped with a lovely verse added.  The Tando butterfly (from the butterfly grab bag)  Has been stamped with a butterfly image (another grab bag) & then touched round the gaps with acrylic.  The larger flowers are from yet another grab bag (see hw useful these bags are :-D) and have been stamped & painted.  The tiddly flowers have been cut off the little row of flowers below...

I then layered the flowers up as in the picture.  So this post is really about the GRAB BAGS which are sooo handy to have in your stash!!!!  Thank you for taking a looksee today my lovelies, take care, HUGS xxx
