Lovely Circles!

Hi everyone! I've a 'Two for Tuesday' again. Mostly because I made this first one, didn't think I liked it and made the second one and prefer the first one ( possibly!!)

I've used this new Waffleflower set. Do check out the new in category- there's tons of stuff including some lovely new glitters!

Anyhow- back to the set. With the UK celebrating Fireworks night tomorrow, my thoughts were on bonfires and fireworks and Parkin and hot chocolate! I decided to dig out my Perfect Pearls and try and create the atmosphere of flashes and bangs and the 'smoke' after the fireworks have burnt out.

See the slightly 3D effect on the 'hello', that was done purely by chance. I stamped to the right of the heat embossed 'Hello' with Versamark, brushed the pigment over it and it ended up looking fuzzy and slightly 3D!

This second one is using the same set but in an entirely different style. I just use some marker pens watered down and hopefully shows how gorgeous these images are!

I didn't plan my placement very well. It's a bit too 'staged'. I did actually stamp a further flower in a different colour but it didn't look right either!

Just shows, some days your mojo hides and runs off exactly when you need it!

Better go-have Parkin to bake!

See you next week!

Ta-Daaah! A little something NEW!

Yup! Something new? 

Well, you all know me, don't like to waffle ;-)- but this brand new company to Make The Day Special is a UK first!

Waffleflower is a fabulous company with some beautiful and contemporary sets. I've just concentrated on the 'Loved' set- a very versatile set that actually doesn't have a wreath in it- but the foliage perfectly lends itself to creating one. It's sorta 'manly' and would be great for a Christmas card for those that don't celebrate it.

Here's the set

 This next card is created using our gorgeous wood veneers packs- which are brilliantly backed with adhesive so perfect for die-cutting too!

The veneers bring a wonderful warmth and texture to the project- I've coloured mine with Copics and because of the natural grain you will get a slight run in colour- the image isn't quite as crisp as on paper/cardstock, but that adds to the beauty of the project, plus, you can bet your card will be really original as not many are using this gorgeous product (yet ;-)

Forgive me for posting these other two- they're not new projects, but I wanted to show you the versatility of the set. There ARE these sets in stock…but don't be that person who had a good think about it, and returned to store to see that they'd gone (yep, I've done that too!)
Better go,
Hope you've enjoyed a look at a new set. Do check out the other sets by Waffleflower, there really is something for everyone!

See you soon,

Keren xx

PS- the papers used in the first card are the Lawn Fawn 'Sweater Weather'- which is in stock here
