Spiral Blooms
Here is another card made with some spiral blossoms on it and they are created from some double sided thinner card.
I have added them to a die cut Oval and the background to the card has been inked very lightly in pink and blue.
I have also added some pearls to the front to accentuate the design and then dotted some more around.
The leaves are cut from any leaf die and I have used an older sentiment die that I have in my collection.
I have had to have my eyes retested since the laser treatment and they will be ready next week for me to collect so well the truly back to normal when I get them.
If you need laser treatment for your vision, after having cataract surgery, I can say from experience it is painless and the difference is amazing. So if it is offered to you don’t be scared …. Go for it … and I assure you will not regret it.
Bye for now …

More Flowers ...
Today I am adding the first video for a little while but it stays with the flower making theme and once again I have used ribbon.
These flowers are so easy to make and all you ned is a needle and thread to gather the ribbon up
You can use nay width of ribbon that you have and any colour to make your flowers but they always make such a difference to your designs.
Have a flower making session while watching TV one night and keep them all in a box until you are ready to add them to your cards.
These are just A6 sized cards and they will fit into an envelope. I use a larger size to accommodate the flowers so for these I would use a 5x7.Or alternatively make them a box.
I have used odd die cuts that I found on my desk and any leaf dies that I have, I also used and old aperture die to cut the pattern into my card.
I hope you like the cards and the video is not long either.
Bye for now ...

Out of the box ...
It is taking me some time to get back to crafting as I have become so lazy and can't seem to get going at all.
It is good to be able to see the computer screen though now that my eyes have been lasered, and that make things a lot easier for me.
For this little project I have used some flowers that I made and I have added them to a head band for a child.
I have also added some lace along the side to hide the head band and here ....
She is the one that is guilty of all the snoring that goes on in my videos and I love her to bits.
She was not too happy about this situation and couldn't wait to shake it off.
But you get the idea anyway.
Tomorrow I am adding in a new video that continues with the theme of making flowers and I am using ribbon again to making some small flowers to add to cards.
They are very quick and easy to do but you will need a needle and some cotton.

Thank you for your patience over the past few weeks but I am happy to say that I am back and I can SEE!!
My Laser treatment went very well with no complications and it is absolutely painless. It takes literally minutes to complete and there is no down time needed.
