GRAPHIC 45 SWEET SENTIMENTS

The more muted colour pallet and Victorian like images lead me to create my very own spring scene in a jar! (A friend donated the jar so I didn't have to eat all those pickled onions myself!)







 
A piece of floristry oasis was used to created the grassed area in which images that were cut from the papers were placed. Flowers were cut and rolled and a twig from a tree in the garden used to make a blossom tree. The domed area on top of the jar was made using a polystyrene ball cut in half, ribbons were added to represent those that hang from a May pole. A real fun project to do!

GRAPHIC 45 STEAMPUNK SPELLS

The vibrancy of the colours in this range make for a brighter side to a Halloween theme.


 
There were so many images to choose from within these designs, adding the orange ribbon brought it all together.
 
Items used:
Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells range
ribbons
Tim Holtz Gear die
black cardstock
Buttons and other items from stash

Graphic 45 French Country

Two different style frames were used to make pretty items that are perfect for that country kitchen look. The colours in this range have such depth and the images such wonderful detail.
