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.
