Second last day... Getting there :) Perfect pearls!
Anyone who knows me knows I love all things shiny. I have both pearl ex and perfect pearls lol and bling out the wazoo...
My spray mists are not made with reinker tsk tsk as I love using my colour wash for mists and tend to make up bigger batches, usually around 50ml as I use mists a lot.
I love this technique. How pretty it is :)
So I had to do it twice ;) lol
2nd generation
First Gen
Second Gen
It's really a balancing act between too much and not enough water. I completely washed one out with too much lol
But the result is so pretty I did two. . .
I would make the whole world sparkly if I could! just give me a giant glitter shaker and some wings!!! Hahaha. I will definitely be using these techniques again that's for sure :) There was one I hadn't tried before and now I have I likes it!! :)
Only one more day to upload. I finished that one just before writing up this post to post later lol...
Happy Scrappin'

Boxes Galore and Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone :) Hope you all have had or are having a wonderful day!
I have been making boxes, boxes and more boxes! All the boxes I have made come from the SVGCuts One Piece Box set. I cut all my boxes in my ecraft. I had to make a couple a smidge smaller but all good, they still cut great.
For the ones that had extra pieces I used SCAL 3 to open the box file and a new project tab to open each of the extras. I ungrouped my extras as some had 12" long boxes and regrouped them smaller and then copied them to my box tab. I then clicked ctrl A to select all pieces and grouped them together. By doing this I was then able to resize all my pieces at the same time and maintain scale. ( I didn't end up using the boxes with extras tho lol)
I made quite a few boxes 4 in the lacey pattern and then a couple of others. So here are the lacey ones. The light pink one caught on my ecraft on the way out and as I was not near by I had to do some creative fixing lol.
My oldest daughters box in shades of blue/greens.
My youngests. Her flowers are different colours as she picked what she wanted :)
Mine is in shades of purple. My fave colour!
Next up are some boxes my daughter took to school, another purple one and a red one decorated with scraps of paper I had laying around.
This first one went a little awry so had to fix as best I could. I gave that one to a friend for his mum as she had given us a couple of lifts lately :)
This one was for my youngest daughters teacher last year and my current training placement teacher :)
This was for her current teacher :) As I said just decorated with some scraps I had.
This next box was made on bright green cs, anyone who knows me knows I am not a fan, it was a test cut. It didn't work 100% needs to be shrunk a lil but with some creativity I hid the fold mark! lol My daughter saw it and decided she wanted two boxes! I used some scraps of paper I had to decorate it.
This last box is another different style. I found some lovely fairy paper in my scraps and used that to embellish the box.
All flowers are I am roses and have been coloured on the tips with distress stains and then misted with home made pearl mist. One flower on the green box has been coloured with the evergreen bough distress ink pad. The big pink flower on the last box I cannot remember what I used on it as it was a while ago. I think it is Stampin' Up ink. The stamp set is XOXOXO from The Paper Studio
Hope you like my personalised valentine boxes! For the most part they a colour specific to each person and filled with goodies! :)
Happy Scrappin'

Beaded Flower Spray
Ok so as you can see I have been having fun with lately! I was following links and came across one from Wild Orchid Crafts for Floral Bead Sprays. So I decided to give it a go :) With my own flavour added of course lol.
I gathered some beads, iamroses flowers in various sizes (all white) and beading wire and set off on an adventure lol. I, loving butterfly's, had decided this time I must have a butterfly. I resisted the urge on my previous bead sprays so now was the time! I also decided my favourite colour, purple, would be my colour of choice.
Supplies in hand and working on my twist, the first things I grabbed were the butterfly and a rose bud. I wanted my rose bud to be the top of my spray so had to work out how to incorporate the butterfly and rose in reverse order to the video instructions.
I started with my butterfly bead as per the video instructions for beads but only gave a little twist to the wires underneath. I then stuck the long stem from my rosebud through the butterfly and incorporated it into the twisting wires.
I then made four more bead/flower combos one bead and flower on each. However after I twisted it all together it looked wrong to me lol. I grabbed two more itty roses and twisted them onto the two stems that felt too long and bare lol...
I coloured my flowers using dusty concord distress stain on the tips and then spraying with home made pearl mist.
My 8 yr old daughter took some pics for me :) I will add one that shows the whole thing when my camera batteries charge :)
Happy Scrappin'
