Not Quite My Size

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Well today I celebrate my 65th Birthday, as its Monday I will
be over at my Mums for the morning and this will be the
first time in years that I get to spent time with mum on my birthday.
I know she is looking forward to that, so I think a bit of cake has
to be the order of the day, sod the diet LOL.

Now down to business!!!

The lovely ladies  over at Dream Valley have created some

fabulous creations for your inspiration, so why not pop on

over to the  DREAM VALLEY blog and have a peep.  

The image I have used is Image 923, You can purchase it HERE
please forgive the photo I don't know why they are showing up
dark as when I take them they look fine. Sorry.

DETAILS

1. Using a 7 x7 card I matted a quarter of it with embossed
dotty card.

2. With my Tonic square dies I die cut two out of blue card. I
then added a doily between them and a piece of blue
crochet ribbon across them both. They were then adhered
to the base using foam tape.

3. The image was printed out and coloured with Copic and
then die cut using Tonic Elegant Ovals, before I removed
it from the die  I used Pan Pastels over the background.
It was then mounted using foam tape.

4. The flourish was cut with a Tattered Lace die and again
I used Pan Pastels to colour, this was then added just
under the image frame,

5. Still using the Elegant Ovals I cut the sentiment tag
and added the word using the Tattered Lace Alphabet.

To complete I added an assortment of blue flowers from my stash.


So come on, lets see what blue creations you come up with.
Remember it can be anything you choose as long as it
uses the colour BLUE.

Until Next Time
As Always
Take Care and Happy Crafting
