A little bit tropical

Hi guys, as you know i love to create my own Handmade Foamiran flowers, I've not as much spart time at the minute as we have a 10 week old puppy plus I look after my daughters in the day time when she's at work too,

Anyway the weathers awful and I needed cheering up so I made myself some tropical themed type flowers, 

For the white one I used 0.6 Foamiran and then the Lady E Design Flower die 003, simply adding a little shading in the centre, hard to see and some stamens from my stash,

The yellow flower is made with the flower7 Crocus dies, using two  of the larger 3 petal heads and 1 of the medium flower heads,

This flower has a little additional colouring on the inner petals with some Geletos, I also deliberately tore on the lower petals to give a different look, I then used some stamens from my stash along with the stamens from the die set too,

I hand cut a couple of Palm leaves for underneath the flowers and fixed them onto a hair comb, they do look better in real life it's hard to get a good photo, lol

Anyway I thought I'd show you another couple of ways to use the dies you may already have in your stash, play around with the dies you have you never know what you will come up with,

Everlasting Love

Hi guys, I have just discovered Bloo/Mar Designs  gorgeous chip boards and so had to order a few,

The Etsy shop is in the UK too, so that's fab, I got my order beautifully packaged and love the items I ordered, 

I used the heart 001 chip board, his time keeping it in it's natural colour, I teamed it with some blossom style flowers I made using 

lady E Design dies Flower 001, Leaves 002 and Tiny Leaves,

here is a card I've made just because I felt like making it, lol

The Blossom style flowers are made using white Silk Foam and some stamens from my stash, I will have a video of how I made these shortly,

But for now here's some photo's  with a close up of the heart 001 Chip board,

The papers are by 49 and market including the laser cut envelope, I used one of the papers for the tiny leaves too,

I arranged my flowers on some natural Sisal, this helps give some added interest and depth to the card too,

The sentiment is a sticker from 13 Arts - Rose Field,

I also made some buds, which will be shown on the video, 

I finished the card off with some sequins here and there too,
