Flowers of Tomorrow

Hi everyone.

I am back with another project for Reycle, Re-Purpose  and Re-Invent. 

I created this wall hanging using beautiful rich autumn colours.

I used 3 of CS Designs images (can you see the 3rd poking through behind the girl?)

I thought this quote seemed to be perfect for this hanging.

I used several recycled items on my project.

Firstly, my background is built using several layers of cereal box, glued together.

This does provide a really nice sturdy base.

The swirl die cut and the punched fronds also use old cereal boxes.

My doily uses some old packing and the bow uses some scrap patterned paper.

I also tucked some soft drink can ring pulls behind my flowers.

Finally, I added apple cider bottle caps as my flower centres.

Aren't the bottle caps perfect for this project?

Not only are the colours rich, but they also have apples on them.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Make sure you go check out what all the other design team members are creating.

You have until October 31st to enter the challenge, so go have some fun and recycle, 

re-purpose and re-invent.

Happy Crafting.

Hi Friends.

Wow, where is the time going at the moment.

This months challenge at The Mirror Crack'd is 

The Body Beautiful.

Spring is in the air in Australia, so I thought I would bring some light pastel 

colours into my project for this month.

I created this plaque using a Kaisercraft Mannequin. 

I used some yummy Meg's Garden paper, a stencil and metallic paint.

I added some stark white die cuts and old black rub-ons from my stash.

For this project I choose to leave my flowers plain, 

without any inking of spritzing.

However, I did sneak in a resin flower and some velvet flowers.

I edged my plaque in Viva Inka Gold and also coloured 

my mannequin using the same medium. 

Finally, I made a bead spray to add a touch of elegance and tied some ribbon around the mannequins waist.

I think this will look great hanging on my craft room door.

I am deciding whether to add a quote or my name.

Maybe I will leave it as is.

What do you think.

Now it's your turn.

Create a little something and link it to the challenge.

I am sure everyone will live this challenge.

Above all, have fun

and Happy Crafting.
