Rose and Sparkle

Good Evening

I'm back with another calendar today.


I used some of my new Christmas goodies to make this one - the Spellbinders die and the embossing folder.  As soon as I saw this embossing folder on Joanna Sheen's website, I knew this is how I would first use it.  The gems are also from Joanna's shop.  I made the roses using Marianne dies, the leaves are punched using a X-cut punch and some gold embossing powder added to the edges.  The tiny butterflies are made using a EK Success border punch.  I added some beads to a hat pin as an extra embellishment.

My calendar is for the following challenges:

Joanna Sheen forum challenge - Bejewelled.

One Stop Craft Challenge - Bingo - I chose Flowers, Die-cuts/Punches and embossing

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Something new (Spellbinders die and embossing folder)

Pollycraft Challenge - Anything but a card

Shopping Our Stash - All that glitters, sparkles or shines

Craft Your Days Away - New beginnings - I've used my new goodies and it's for a new year.

Anything Goes Challenge - Anything Goes

Crafty Creations Challenge - Something New

Divas by Design - New Beginnings

Thanks for stopping by.
