Meadow Cottage Bears

Hello and thanks for stopping by.


I know we all love the aaahhh factor so I thought I would share some cards I made using the Meadow Cottage Bears that are available from Crafters Companion.  You may have seen them on Create and Craft this morning when Sara was showing a selection of die cut decoupage sets.  If you like decoupage but struggle with the cutting then these are ideal.  I always used to love cutting out decoupage but these days with the old arthritis in the fingers I'm finding it more difficult.  Poor old sole aren't I? LOL!


Anyway enough of my ailments and on to the cards.

Aren't they adorable? Well better go and get some "work" done. Have a good evening or day depending on what part of the world you are.
Bye for now,

Tuesday Taggers - Hang it all it's a canvas!

Good morning dear friends on this dull and dismal day. Hope this will cheer you up. It's Tuesday so time for the Tuesday Taggers  challenge. 
This week our talented Zoe has set the theme of canvas.You can use any sort of canvas e.g pads of canvas paper, canvas board, boxed canvasses they come in all sizes. Use a piece of canvas with other materials needs to be a reasonable size and not just a little scrap some where. Canvas is used to make sails, bags, chairs all sorts of things so the rest is up to you, can't wait to see what you talented crafters come up with.

We have a fantastic sponsor this week ART FROM THE HEART who are offering a full set of their new Altered Originals Sprays to one lucky winner drawn at random this week, all you have to do is leave a little link to Art from the heart in you entry post.

Now here is my canvas

This is much more shimmery than it appears on the photo  and hence much prettier.

I misted the canvas with spray mica paint and iridescent pearl glimmer mist.

Then I took the mask that I used on last weeks challenge and laid it across the top and bottom corners then sprayed with blue mica.

I've certainly got the use out of this mask this week. I traced around  four of the flowers then painted them with mica paint and cut them out. I added some bedazzles to the centres.

The ribbon, beads and wire made the finishing touch.

Thank you so much for stopping by and can I ask you to pop over to the TT challenge blog to check out the designs my fab teamies have created.  I'm sure you will feel inspired and decide to join us this week. Thanks again.
Bye for now,
Pat xx
