Swaying Flower Heads (by Julie)

Hello and welcome. Today I have a cute shrink plastic card that I have made with the brand new Dotty Centre Flower Head stamp.

I started by flicking purple and green acrylic paint onto the base card and edged it with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink. I found that by dipping  a small bottle cleaner type brush into acrylic paint and then stroking it with a kebab stick was the best way to apply the paint and not make too much mess.

The main flower was stamped with Onyx Black Versafine and coloured with Pan Pastels and Crystal Stickles and the shrink plastic flowers were stamped with black Staz-On and coloured with pencils. Before I shrank the flowers with a heat tool, I punched a hole so that I could attach a jump ring and chain as it is too difficult to make a hole once they are shrunk. The other end of the chains were threaded onto a head pin and then each end of the head pin was secured onto the card with a  foam pad so the chains can not fall off. I then glued the flower over the top using 3d glue gel.

Many thanks for stopping by.

A Bunch of Flowers (by Lesley)

Well almost the end of another month and time keeps marching on. Not sure about dark nights and soon to be dark mornings, so to keep us all reminising about summer and lazy lighter days how about a collection of fancy flowerheads to make you smile.

It's new stamp release time and our November stamps are a collection of individual flowers which are cling mounted and already cut out ready for you to play with as soon as they land on your craft table.

The first three are Daisy, Circle and Mesh Centre Flowerhead

and the second three are Daisy Ring, Swirl and Dotty Centre Flowerhead.

Of course you could collect all six in our money saving multi-buy

Each stamp measures approximately 3.5" in diameter so they are a good sized image and will be excellent for anyone who enjoys colouring, decoupage etc.  These will be fab for art journaling and mixed media too.

The Design Team have, once again, come up trumps with some fabulous creations which you will be able to see over the coming month. In the meantime here is a quick piece of artwork from me.

 And here is a close up which shows how much wonderful detail Sue has incorporated in these designs.

Hope you enjoy creating your own bunch of flowers with these fabulous new individual stamps.
