A pot of Lily's


Morning everyone, our new Allsorts challenge starts today and will run for two weeks so the next one will be on 12th August, this gives the Design Team a little extra family time during the holiday period. It's hosted by Lorraine and her theme is "No Squares" and the prize is a bundle of Christmas crafting goodies.

I have two recent Create and Craft/Highlight/TRR makes, both are freestanding acetate bases and built up with flowers and other elements. Above the beautiful  Lily, July Flower of the month, these were a delight to work with and really lend themselves to decoupage. Below various elements from the Secret Garden collection released a couple of weeks ago on Create and Craft TV.


As always my thanks for your kind visits and encouragement.

  16. Wow!!! Hai avuto un'idea geniale mettendo queste splendide composizioni floreali su acetato, davvero l'effetto 3D è eccezionale, per non parlare degli splendidi fiori e i vasi... Sai che adoro i prodotti di TRR!! I pavoni sono maestosi, l'urna blu così dettagliata e quei gigli mozzafiato nel vaso di terracotta sono davvero gloriosi!!! Due decoupages veramente stupendi!!
    Buon weekend, qui fa un po' meno caldo è il cielo è scuro... Forse un po' di pioggia rinfrescherà la terra assetata, speriamo... Abbracci!
