Handmade flowers and a mix of Inkido collections.

I hope you are all well and that you have gotten a lot of lovely pages or cards scrapped lately.This is my most recent page made using Inkido supplies. Actually,Inkido has a beautiful new collection out called Spring Time, and you can see it HERE.

But today I have a page to share that uses a combination of older collections.
 

 I layered quite a few beautiful patterned papers here and used my sewing machine to add decorative stitching and my punches for a cute border effect. The pretty vintage crochet lace add to the romantic feel of the page.

 
 
I used an awesome die by Sizzix called Tattered florals to make the larger flowers. I die cut the different parts from a patterned paper belonging to the X-mas collection. After spraying them with white mist to tone down the pattern there is nothing X-mas about them!! :-)

 The Inkido papers have many gorgeous butterfly designs and I love to use fussy cut butterflies on my pages. The trellies pattern is also made using a Sizzix Frameworks die.

 I had a beautiful chipboard ring once,...but alas I managed to break it in two,... Here I found a way to put it to good use. :-) I also added some ink drips and splatters for an extra effect. 

That was all for today! I hope you enjoyed it.

Enjoy life!

An altered sweetbox for Papirdesign and Sizzix UK

Hello all you scrappy friends!!

Today I have a decorated box to share. It's decorated with great products from Papirdesign.
 I plan to add a small gift to the inside and give it to a friend who has a birthday soon.
This was the box I made for my Sunday post on the Sizzix UK blog and so far here on my blog I only shared a small sneak.

After eating all the Turkish Delights in the box I did not feel like throwing it away so
I used paper from the Spring collection 'Forventning' to dress it up.

I cut out patterned papers a little haphazardly and glued them to the lid. 
Firstly one pattern to the top and then another pattern for the side. 

I added a strip of sequin ribbon to cover up where the papers meet.



I used some great dies by Sizzix to decorate the lid. (Links below) After cutting and glueing down a trellies pattern I added a couple of mini rosettes and then a large handmade flower on top. I used pop dots to add dimension.



A few more close ups:



I just think those larger peony buds from Papirdesign are sooo lovely!!

I hope you liked this.

 I'll leave you with some advise; ...

Eat lots of Turkish Delights (or other sweets) and you'll have your own box to alter :-) LOL!

Have a good day!

An altered project for my Sunday post at Sizzix UK.

Today for my Sunday project at the Sizzix UK blog I made an altered item. I don't do altered often, but must say I utterly enjoyed it. There is something very satisfying in decorating something and putting it to good use, when you would normally just throw it away!!
