Passion For Promarkers Challenge #547 - Flowers & Pearls

Hi Crafters,

Another fortnight has passed and it's time to share my design team card for the new challenge at Passion For Promarkers. These weeks are certainly flying by for me during the lock-down, I have been so busy making cards for people that can't get to the shops or who can't find what they want in the limited supply that their local shops have. It's kept me occupied when all our other usual activities have ceased.

Well on to why I am here...

Christening Dress

Hi Crafters,

 I'm sure that many of you, like me, have a stash of lace and trims in your craft room and when I was asked to create a Christening card recently and the brief was 'pretty and girly' I came up with this design.

Recipe

Crafters Companion Brick Embossing Folder and Arch Window Die

Tattered Lace Picot Edge Frame die

LOTV Sentiment Stamp

Pearls and lace from my stash

I set about making the dress by drawing half the shape on a folded piece of paper and cutting it out. When unfolded it makes the full dress shape, an easy way to ensure it is symmetrical. I used this template to cut out the dress in pearl card and embossed this to create the swirly pattern.

Then I added the layers of lace for the frills of the dress and trimmed the neck and sleeves with pearls.

The card turned out quite chunky so I had to make a box for it too.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Embossing Wet/Dry

Creative Inspirations - Lace & Pearls

I said I'd share some of my holiday photo's with you so here are a few of Portmeirion which we visited, with it's brightly painted buildings.

We walked across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct alongside the canal boats. It crosses the Dee Valley and is 38m high. I really don't like heights but held on to the rail tightly. :o/

This is the view looking back over the side after we'd walked across...

The holiday cottage where we stayed

...and after climbing the hill behind it this was our reward.

 See you soon,

Wedding Box/Keepsake

Hi Crafters,

I was asked to create a Wedding Box or Keepsake so that money could be given to the happy couple in something a bit more presentable than just an envelope, it is also big enough to keep mementos of the day ie. garter, place name, confetti etc.

I used lots of lace, pearls and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The chipboard 'Mr & Mrs' is from Anna Marie Designs.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Moving Along With The Times - #78 Texture

A Bit More Time To Craft - #74 ATG

Not Just Cards - #58 ATG

Decorated Trinket Box

Hi Crafters,
Hope you are all well. It's very misty and murky here today, hope it brightens up soon.
Between making cards I have been trying my hand at decorating a wooden trinket box. With a couple of craft fairs coming up soon I decided to create a variety of projects for my stall, some of which I will share with you in the future.

I got my hot glue gun out of hibernation and used my stash of lace, trims and flowers to create a pretty box for your bedroom dressing table.
Here's the inside...

After painting the bare wood I sprayed it with two shades of Perfect Pearls Pearlescent Shimmer, but unfortunately what looks like blotches on the inside in this picture is actually how the camera has picked up where the shimmer is :(  -even the white pearls have a creamy/peach tone here too :/ very frustrating, but in real life it is very pretty.
I lined the inside with matching paper to take away the plainness.
Hope you like my little box and I would like to enter it in to these challenges,

Scribble & Scrap - # 27 Anything Goes
