Kraftyhands June Challenge

Wow June already. Time for another Challenge over on the Kraftyhands Blog. This month it is a floral theme Floral Fancy.We would love you to join in with us, you can use anything but if you have any Kraftyhands goodies to include on your creation that would be great.
Here is my make for this one. It is a cheap, sorry, inexpensive, photo frame and when I saw it I knew it would look fab with an image and flowers from the Femme Fatale cd to decorate it. When my hubby saw it he said, that's nice, are you selling it? Just shows home decor doesn't have to be expensive.
Thank you to everyone who joined in the May Challenge. Congratulations to the winners and we look forward to seeing all your entries again this month.
Have a great weekend.

Just Peachy

Two cards for special birthdays. Mother and daughter 60th and 30th just 3 days apart.
The 60th was made with a selection of dies from Tattered Lace,Marianne,Joy and Sizzix. The image is from Card Creations Flowers in Bloom cd.
The 30th card is made from a  Hunkydory kit. The corners are a Joy die and the flowers are from Live and Love Crafts. The Spellbinders butterflies have been glued and glittered, a bit fiddly but worth it.

Two More Paintings

I have been looking through some photos and found another couple of paintings, a clown and a poppy this time. The teddy bear picture was for a little girl and then her little brother wanted one but not teddy bears.So I did him the clown.




Thank you for visiting.

Teddy Bears

Not done a blog post for a while so thought I would show you a painting.It is done with acrylic paints on watercolour card.The teddies are painted with a shaped brush which I think is called a deers foot using a stippling action. I then painted the flowers onto a bought mount before framing the teddies.
Thank you for visiting today.
