Rainbow Wax Seal Cards

 Hi Everybody,

I have been playing again and this time I have been creating a rainbow look with my wax seals.

I bought some more beads from Amazon in Matt colours and they came the day after I ordered them at a really good price too.

I also got some more spoons so that I could melt things a little quicker

I have included the links to the items that I got from Amazon in the list below.

The stamps I have had for donkeys years and although I have searched online for them I cannot find them and so they may no longer be available.

But you can always make ink blobs yourself or use any stamp that you like to create the look.

                

I have another idea that I will share with you later this week again using the wax seals and I will use the new spoons that I bought as they have a lot deeper pan to them ... which I will need for my next attempt with them. 

More tomorrow ...

Decoupage Delight Collection - Camellia

 Hi Everybody,

Last week Pauline Hickey and I had a get together at my house and we decided to do a little crafting in my craft room.

 I thought it would be a good idea and a bit of fun to film the process as we made the flower.

We used the Camellia Flower to make the blooms and then we added them to our cards.

 I did one for a birthday and Pauline made a sympathy card with her beautiful lilac flower.

The video is not long but once it was done we went out for lunch and had a lovely steak sandwich.

This is one that I made later in the day after Pauline had gone back home again. I also added a wax seal to this card

Friday Freebie - Butterfly Florals

 Hi Everybody,

It is the turn of the butterflies this week and this pack has a lovely stamp and die, from Pink Fresh Studios, to add the butterfly to your cards.

There is also another stamp set in the pack that has text and florals as well as sentiments and the lovely squiggly butterfly trail to complete the look.

You will find lots of inspiration inside the pages of the Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine.

I personally love adding text to my backgrounds as I think it makes them look so special. But I am sure that you will come up with lots of ideas if you should win this offering.

All you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post and then be sure to come back and see if your name is shown as the winner. Your comment must include your FULL NAME or it will not be entered into the draw.

And don't forget to join in with the Live Craftathon that Lou is hosting  all day today.
