Paste Eggs

Well I came across a natty way of colouring Paste eggs for easter and just had to give it a go.
Of course I needed white eggs! could I find any? Nope. So I wasn't going to let that beat me and thought I would try it out anyway but with the brown every day supermarket best eggs.
To try this you need
White vinegar
husbands silk shirt or tie
a none metal pan
and some cotton linen (I used socks)
then check out the Matha Stewart site
Now if you imagine white eggs the colours would be quite eggsellent.


A Get Well Card

This card was made for a lady who could do with a few prayers at the moment, it's all ready to pop in the post on Tuesday.
The flowers and the transparency bird was sent to me by my good friend Katie fro the USA so I thought I would put them to good use I used glossy accents all over the bird then sprinkled the crushed glass glitter on top,the deep wine card was stamped with the SU flourish wheel using versamark to create a watermark effect.
