Floral Craft - Sakura Flower

The flower was made from the Sakura punch and the idea came from the very talented Jane Gill.

I made the flower with the Mega Sakura Punch cutting each petal so that it was individual then scoring along the petal.

I stamped a white piece of card with a Rubber Stamp Tapestry Clear Stamp and Brilliance Crimson Ink.

The centre of the flower is just a circle covered with fun flock.

A close up of the flower, you can see the scored lines on each petal.

Mans Card - Steam Engine

Using distress ink brushed corduroy I sponged a piece of white card making the ink deeper at the edges and I stamped the image with the same distress ink, using a brown ink pen I grounded the image by adding a shadow under the wheels.

The brown card base was embossed with a swiss dots cuttlebug folder then a gold ink pad rubbed over the top.

Craft Hobby & Stitch Trade Show

The Trade show was a huge success for La Pashe and I felt quite humbled at the buzz we created.

A meet up with Jane Gill, at the Woodware stand which was quite accidental, I was just passing by and a couple of flowers at the table caught my eye and made me back step to the table One I had seen recently on my friend Pam's blog and this was the other I looked down at the lady sitting at the table and exchanged smiles then noticed her badge Jane Gill this was the lady that had taught my friend to make the flower, of course I was very cheeky and asked for one of these beauties to show to you all.

Ollie Doodles one of the La Pashe stockists from Spain called in to say hi and brought me a fabulous card to wish me luck made by Lynn I took it back to the Hotel and it stayed on my dressing table.

Mind you the lady from Ollie's was not all good as she kept popping back to show me her fruits from the workshops she had attended, green was my eyes lol!

I finally got to meet Tina fellow sheenie and got a hug.

It was great to put faces to names so thank you all for popping by to say hello.

Floral Craft Bumble Bee Blossom

This floral craft blossom kept me sane tonight, It is made from a bumble bee punch although you do need to cut bits away from the bee so you are just left with the bum.

Details of how the make the flower can be found in Floral Punch Craft VI Orchids and more by Leone Em.

A closer look at the Bumble Bee flower each petal is the bee's bum.

Day 2

Today has been one of the ones you just happen to dread when trying to give up the weed.

Stressful is an understatement.

Everything that could have went wrong did go wrong.

I haven't made a card simply because I was so wound up I couldn't.

I've took to eating hard boiled lollypops and then biting the stick to bits afterwards.

Also watching television this is a novelty for me and it helps to take my mind off things.
