Sweetness alert!

Have you seen the new Elizabeth Bell The Peekers #2 release for SCACD yet? They are as sweet as all of her releases this year! For my Quixotic Inspirations make today, I have used this little cutie...

This is Mama's Purse - obviously looking for cash for crafty stash! I matched her up with BasicGrey Green At Heart papers and a sentiment from Whimsy's Ticket Sentiments Set, die cut with the matching Whimsy Shapeology Ticket die. And take a closer look at the flowers...

Don't you think the darker ones look like suede?! I think they are fab! I used the uber easy to use Marianne D Creatables Chinese Rose dies made with Tim Holtz Grunge Paper, coloured with Distress Stains finished off with pearl beads.

That's it from me - see you later with my DT card for the fabulous Pixie Dust Studios new release!

Femme fatale!

Hiya! It's Thursday which means I'm here with my week's make using some gorgeous Quixotic Inspiration goodies! This week I used the super sexy, super cool Victoria Case for SCACD Femme Fatale...

As you can see - lots of BLING!! To create some interest, I used my Bazzill Jewel Templates to create the swirls with 4mm red flat backed pearls to create that beautiful swirl and used the Whimsy Friendship Ticket Sentiment for the insides. And do you see that fabulous bow? I used my Bow Easy Template to make it before sticking it to the matting - easy peasy! I also used a 6mm pearl for the centre of my red felt rose - the finishing touch!
