As it’s Remembrance Sunday today I thought I would make something appropriate for the day and which I intend to give to my mum when I see her next.
The poppy was free a digital design download from Quickutz Silhouette where I have a monthly subscription. As it was free, I don’t think it would be wrong of me to offer a copy of the file to anyone who would like it.
The centre is a huge silver brad that I have painted with a ceramic paint pen, as I didn’t want to use a black button on this occasion
If there was a crafting tool I would like to buy that I don’t think has been invented yet, it would be a “crumpler” – I love the crumpled look, but I’m not sure how to do it properly, I end up screwing things up into a ball over and over again but often risk the paper getting torn ….. come on Tim Holtz invent something for me – I am a damsel who needs to distress!
Hi Helen
ReplyDeleteI love your poppy, I'm sure your mum will love it too. Just thought I'd mention there is a tool you can use…. Fiskars Crimper, Stampin Up have one in their latest catalogue. It works perfectly on the fibres of the card, so much so that you can peel the card into layers. You have to roll it through a few times, but it gives good results :)

Oooooooo thank you Rozzy, I will have a look and put it on my Xmas wish list!! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteThe poppy is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou did make me laugh with your play on the 'damsel' saying...perhaps Sir Tim will rush to your aide.
