hi guys

time for a new challenge at 

Petal Lu

I have made a set of pincushions

I had this lovely grey/blue fabric it had a tiny splash of orange in the pattern so these orange blooms from Petal lu store where perfect to compliment the colours.

the tiny coffee cup is from a set i got from a charity shop, they are just so cute! but i don't drink coffee so of course i found creative ways to give them a new life.

I hope you like these little makes of mine and come play along with our challenge.

Yellow Flowers

Please follow the new rules, your project must use flowers,(we are after all all about flowers) Please also add flowers of our themed colour.
not all the flowers have to be in the colour but a few would be nice.

ok so my project

at Christmas i got these very naughty 
and very yummy marzipan treats

the box has a pull out inner like a draw, well me being me thought oooh nice box lol 

and i stashed it away... 

when i was trying to sort bit away in my crafty space i kept knocking  

over my little bottles of re inker....

light bulb moment!

and the fit perfectly into the box!!

so of course i had to make it pretty, and what better way than Petal Lu blooms

first i decorated the box with acrylic paints to resemble marble or stone adding black ink around the edges to indicate age.

then i splashed it with yellow.

i painted the chipboard swirls and frame in the same yellow and stamped the work ink.

i took 3 little bottles and using grey and yellow paint i coloured the inside of the bottles

glued in the corks and then glued them into place.

and the final piece is of course the beautiful blooms.

now it sits quite happily on my shelf and no more re inkers going for a roll across the floor.

i hope you like it

Flowers and Ribbons

i decided to go for a tag, using this wonderful image 

Two Gothic Roses

this is 8 x 4

i cut the tag from some packaging and covers it in some rose printed paper, i then stamped around the edges, the image i printed 3 times and coloured with prisma colour pencils, then i fussy cut the layers and mounted with sticky pads.

hi everyone

whos ready for a new challenge?

well good because i have one for you :)

Petal Lu Challenge

the theme is white 

we want you to use at least one white flower in your project apart from that its all up to you 

i went with a large tag this time

its 8x5

i covered it with music paper, and then stamped on top of that,the branches and leaves are from a roll of wall paper i bought for the kitchen and didnt end up using because i didnt have enough but i love it so much i am finding other ways to use it lol, ( im working on something else at the moment that will go in the kitchen as im determined to get some in there lol, ill share once its done).

so anyways i  added some sponging around the edge , and a fancy die cut which i painted with the same copper gold acrylic mix to match the edges.

then i added the fussy cut branches and leaves, the birdcage is one a friend sent me a long long time ago and i just love, it was bright gold to i tryed to age it a little with alcohol inks,i die cut the little birds from pretty paper, and finished the whole thing off with the beautiful flowers.

hope you guys like it x

hey guys ,

new challenge time at 

Petal Lu 

this challenge i decided to just show off the blooms, a little side challenge to myself 

to not use an image.

i think its quite sweet and would make a lovely mothers day card.

i chose a pretty soft pink paper to matt the card, then cut some foliage.

i used some florist tape to wrap nd extend the flower stems to be able to make a bouquet, and finished with a pretty ribbon iv had in my stash for ages;

hope you like it

hi everyone

its time for a new challenge at 

Delicious Doodles

the theme this month is 

anything but a card

i have covered my new notebook

i love this image, its so pretty

i printed some pretty paper and covered the book.

the image is coloured in copics and prisma coloured pencils.

i edged the image in some fibre trim, then made some seaweed with the same trim, 

i had some little tiny bits that where the weeding from die cuts and the reminded me of coral and star fish, so i coloured them and added them too, 

 i finished off with some pretty lace along the spine, and found some tiny tiny hearts that where in the die waste box and added them as bubbles from the sea horse.


hope you like it .

come play along :)

so im trying to get it all organised and looking pretty

( well ill try lol)

using pva squelched and shaped it into a branch, leaving it to dry overnight.

once dry  i removed it from the tin and the cling film. 

next i covered the tin in pretty paper.

i painted the branch in brown and a little green acrylic paint.

once dry i added it to the tin with some cosmic shimmer glue, 

fussy cut a few butterfly's to match the papers

then i added some of the beautiful Petal lu flowers 

quite pleased with it :)
