Kiwime's Kreations: September 2024

Welcome

It has been longer than I would have liked between postings, but life has thrown me a few curved balls of late, and to be honest, I have not done very much of anything over the past week.

This was made for an August birthday. I was inspired by this video by Natasha Foote.

I started by masking off a panel, and using a this stencil by The Crafters Workshop,

I stenciled white texture paste to form a feature panel directly on the base.

I then diecut and coloured a floral die from S/B, from the in'spire range called Flower Power 1

I cannot find it on the site, and as I got it on 'special' recently, I suspect it may be discontinued.

The sentiment (a Magazine Freebie) was silver embossed, and a few clear gems added, and the card front was finished.

The inside panel was finished with some floral washi tape, and the same tape was used on the envelope.

Stitched, Stylised Flower

Welcome

A card made for a 'no frills' young woman.

I started with part of an incomplete kit of patterns for stitching on card - all the prickings and instructions are there, but I had to provide everything else. I cannot recall when or where I got them! All I know is that this is my first time using it. (It surfaced in the various moves)

I used rayon variegated threads for the bud, stem and leaves. and a metallic for the blue

The card is one I was given some years ago, and has a subtle sparkle through it.

Once I finished the stitching, I added some pale blue watercolour paint for the water, and grey for a wee shadow to ground the vase. Three clear gems completed the image panel

The panel was then mounted over silver mirror card, and then a deep blue embossed panel. The geometric pattern went well with the design of the bud. This was then mounted on a white base, stamped with the sentiment - another long ago purchase.
