Good morning mon petit champignons. Hope all is well with you on this fine Friday.
I am, thankfully, pretty much over my cold. Still have a silly cough, especially when I lay down but otherwise ok.
Managed to get out for lunch with friends this week, which is always nice. Nesta and I had tacos before she jetted off to Spain again for 3 weeks.......lucky madam.
Now, Sir John of Lockwood has some new dies out today so I have been beavering away in the craft room to make some samples.
One of the dies is a hydrangea, one of my favourite shrubs. The first thing that came into my head was "balls"...............the polystyrene ones to make actual paper hydrangeas.
Ingredients
White and green card
JND Hydrangea die
Polystyrene balls
Pins
Pearl seed beads
Pinking shears
Inks
I hand cut and scored the leaves. I used green card then dabbed green ink over them.
The flowers were made from white card and then coloured and shaded, then pinned into the balls.
As you can imagine, this was a labour of love lol!!!
I love how they have turned out and will make some more to join them in the vase, when I get some free time to do some...........at these ones won't need watering.
Hope that you get chance to see the shows today and tomorrow as I'm sure that you will love John's new dies.
Be good.
TTFN

Ps.....June, always happy for anyone to have a go at making anything I have come up with.
Me, a classy bird Wendy? I know there's those who would disagree (Cue Maureen).
Stephanie, I do already use Maureen's remedy as my Mum used to give it me when I was at home.........obviously they're of the same generation........old!!!
