PINK BOOKLET AND WINS..

 Hello everyone,

A wet but not cold Spring day today and I'm in the kitchen making Kumera Croquettes as the kumeras ( Sweet potatoes ) were very cheap at 2.69 kilo, so,  I just had to.

I had a few wins lately with my top hat projects so that was pretty awesome..

  



and then had a day the other day making a pink booklet card and it sold very fast...





These are the cut out from a paper set, cut and inked..



more,  but panels cut and inked.



pockets made and inked..




These gorgeous papers are from another 12x12 set and are beautiful..




so used them for all the panels..


Back and front..


The front had ephemera added, then an oval die cut
with the gold sentiment die cut out from the foil off the butter ..
my friend saves them for me, a bit tricky with some dies and delicate once cut, but these went well..
The white heart was sent to me from Janette, thank you Janette..and
I have af ew more to play with.


Then after making loads of tags and inking I started filling pockets..


round ephemera, the panels, and tags with ribbon..


Beautiful feminine stickers of ladies and girls.


all the pockets got a vintage cotton lace trim along the bottom....


In side and an oval to write in..


The outside..
But folder up they all go together and you cant tell which is the inside 
and which is the outside, so that worked well..


I'm showing the front again  because it changed a little with those beads,
 but forgot to take a photo..
The end  beads were removed and I added small ones , pearls and glass and gold  and pink, then the big ones  back on just to fill the gold elastic thread which is the closure..

So there we go..
Done and sold..

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
