Thanks Kath!

Firstly I must welcome my new follower, Christine.

I hope you like what you see on my blog. 

I would love to join your blog but I cannot find a link.

Thank you Kath for this amazing Hunkydory kit!!

I just had to put aside all my projects on my desk,

that I have just prepped with Gesso,  

ready to be decorated.

As I just had to make at least one card from this kit.

Here it is!!

I was very good and followed the instructions!! Lol!!

I even used the acetate thet was in the kit too!

I can make around 200 cards with this kit!!

Perfect for my Charity Care Homes too.

However, I had to put a ribbon bow on it,

rather than the paper one supplied.

I also added a silver edge around all the elements,

using a Pilot silver pen.

I also added 3 butterflies from the 'waste card'

and added Nuvo Crystal Drops on their bodies. 

I saved one piece of the Decoupage flowers 

and put it on the envelope.

I also added some Stickles on the butterflies 

and the centres of the flowers.

As usual, not visible in the pictures!!

I think these few days of hot weather we are

having is our Summer!!

The thunder storm we had on Tuesday night was

amazing!! It woke both of us at around 4am!!

Just loved watching the lightning.

Keep cool and safe in this weather, if you

cannot take it.

Thank you for popping into my blog and 

leaving me, your much appreciated comments.

I will always visit your blogs and message you too.

Big hugs,

Carol

Beach Time

I can't wait for the real beach time to be here!!

I just hate the cold weather, must be the Maltese in me!!Lol!!

This project I did last year and it sold within minutes of being

on my stall. So I thought I would make one more, 

similar but not exactly the same.

They are little boxes that you can make from Tando kits.

I used 2 kits and when I had decorated them all,

I stuck them together.

I covered the joins with driftwood.

This is just a quick beach scene I painted onto watercolour

card. I stuck it on the back of the box and then

made the beach. 

This next one is an old Little Claire beach hut stamp.

I made the To Beach sign with Balsa wood and

I painted the sky again on card.

This next one was great fun!

Two of the boxes have like a window in the back piece.

I had this die that is a ship in a bottle. It turned out to be 

very near the size of the window.

So I cut it out of card and then stuck it on acetate. 

The boat is a separate die.

The clock does work! The surf board I cut from 

Balsa wood and coloured it with Copics.

Made the lifebelt from clay and also the little Seahorse.

I won't tell you how long it took to make!!

Thanks for taking the time, to not only visit my 

blog but leaving me your lovely messages too.

Big hugs,

Carol
