FLOWERS WATERPAINTED..

 Hello everyone,

First up I'm so sorry I'm not commenting much, it is a bit of hit and miss that my comment will post, so I'll keep trying..

Back with a little project just for fun and I think going to be very useful.....one day!



Glue stick and book pages always a fun start,
gluing two or three pages together to make the thicker..


then I die cut flowers out and kept the negative, 
they will come in handy for something I'm sure..


Once they were all cut out they needed colour..


water paints/


oranges and purples with green leaves..


This is a negative leaf using ..
Altenew Jumbo Gardening Picks Layering Set
( say that five times fast )


Negative flowers


again..


and a collection was made and ready to go..


Cat pouches, I love these thing but Holly does not get them anymore as she gets allergies from the mousse and it is so sad to watch her scratching and licking constantly, so glad I kept so many of these things and still have few left to play with..


after covering with book pages I added the flowers
 and a velcro dot to keep the flap closed..


and the negative became the tag..


I gave the flower centers a little black dot


Velcro closure


and an orange one..


pouch open..


and then decide to use a negative page as well..


and a negative tag  too..


three of these were made, but I still had some leftovers
 so....


I mixed the colours up..


and then there were four..

I will probably use these in a journal or on the own with a gift card, not sure ,but something for my stash..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

ANYTHING TIMES THREE..DT

 Hello everyone,

It is Wednesday and time for Little Red Wagon and I am hostess this week with the theme...

 " Anything Times Three "


I decided to have three flowers..


Lovely little dies and quite easy to make up if you have not got clumsy and awkward fingers which I have but got the in the end..


the leaves were inked up a little bit on the edges with my favourite inks..


Then I decided to use up more stash and these
 are the pouches that the cat food was in
 ( that she does not get anymore as they caused her allergies!! )
and it is all papered up and a few stickers added...


So these are all ready to go..
now for my favourite papers that I cannot find anymore..


perfect, make my eyes go funny, but I love theses stripes..


and as I was too close to the end of the packet 
I photocopied them so I had enough..


used them for the card front and inside then popped on
 the pouch and flowers..


this is a chipboard sticker which I thought was cute and made me 
think of a photo to go inside..


and this is me, riding my trike up our drive way, 
my daughter cleaned it up for me so nit gritty anymore..
and believe me, this was a play dress, I still had fun outside. 
but my play clothes were frilly and chiffon!!!!


A layered white butterfly


tag inside the pouch..


and a cute little card set with tag..



So do come and join us


Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you soon..
