BY THE CUTE AND GIRLY - 2ND PROJECT

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well.

Just a quick reminder about the By The Cute and Girly Challenge that started this month and a glimpse of my second creation.

Everyone on the team was asked to bring variety to the challenge blog and to show creations that were not just cards. I hadn't realised just how "card orientated" I had become. My first thought always goes to a card - and yet there are just so very many other options too - and I really enjoyed thinking about other crafts and actually "doing" other crafts. This could bring a whole new dimension to my blog!! Yay!!

I previously showed you the card I had made - well my next creation is a burnt flower. I saw this idea months ago on Caz's blog and instantly fell in love with the idea and the look.

I dropped Caz an email to see if she would mind if I "made and showed" a flower using her inspiration and linked back to her blog for the instructions. Caz very kindly agreed (thank you Caz x) and full instructions are here. (Beware though - once you visit Caz's blog you will be hooked - she does the most amazing work and you will be there for ages).

Here is my creation using autumn shades.




I put a small brooch pin on the back of my flower so that I can wear it on my clothes - but it looks equally nice attached to a bag, a card or a present.

Once you make one you can't stop - you will be swarmed out with them I tell you!

I hope you are enjoying the "By The Cute and Girly Challenge" and are perhaps getting chance to enter a creation.

I am still away on my holibobs but will catch up with what everyone has been doing on my return.

Love Jules xx

    Oh boy - I know I shouldn't have followed the link but I wanted to know how to make these lovely flowers. It's bookmarked but I have heeded your warning about getting hooked there and will visit in short spells.
