Hellooooo,
It's the weekend.....yay.....and it's Bank Holiday
weekend here too which means another day off for a lot
of people! It also means, probably, a weekend of rain
in typical British fashion. We wouldn't expect anything else!!
Ok, so if you have nothing on and it's raining, don't
forget The Craft Barn is open
Saturday 9.30 - 5 pm
Sunday and Monday 10 - 4 pm
Why not pop in and do some crafty shopping!
Alright, today is our last day of Down our Road
and Neil has an absolutely stunning project for you!
Every time I look at this, I see something I hadn't noticed
before.
Neil says....
Down our road, around the corner and up the country for about
5 hours is my little slice of paradise..........
Take one sheet of the paper and trim out the windows of the
door and the top, bottom and centre of the door to create
an opening. Add your chosen photo.
Take a second sheet of the paper and cut out the pieces
as seen. Fix the larger piece to the matching area on
the first sheet using 3d foam tape or pads. Leave
the narrow strip to one side.
Trim a third sheet as seen. Set the main image to one side as
it is not required.
Add the narrow corner strip to the top of the page with 3d
foam tape or pads as before and add the narrow strip from
the previous cut to the top of this. This gives you a lovely
dimensional page.
Use the left over paper from the "fussy cut" sheet to die cut a
few medium and small flowers from the Tattered Florals die.
Assemble and make flowers by attaching them in groups with
a small brad and using water to shape to create co-ordinating
flowers. Attach 3 to the layout. A more detailed tutorial
on creating this style of flower can be found here
Cut a small tag with the Mixed Media die. Stamp the label
stamp onto this. Give a pale wash of ink or paint to
add a hint of colour. Tie some ribbon onto it and add to
the page obscuring the writing on the sign and tucking
the edge behind the bird. Use Liquid Pearls to add a small
heart to the tag.
Add further highlights to the page with Liquid Pearls to the birds
and the page to finish.
So what do you think.....how beautiful is that??
So colourful, I love it, thank you Neil.
Here is the list of products used if you want to
have a go.....
