'Make and Takes'

Hello friends......how are we all? Well I hope.

You may remember that a few weeks back I went to the great British Craft Festival at Bolton and a friend and I did a couple of makes and takes. I promised I would show you what I had done...so here we are.......

First up.....an MDF heart.


This was my first go at covering with paper...I did enjoy this! I am sure there is scope for a lot more texture etc to be added to this in the future.I know a lot of you out there have produced some stunning MDF creations

Secondly Hunkydory liftables....... so pretty..........and not something I would normally go for....but.....
take a look.



This is the butterfly pad (they do flowers as well)....the butterflies were painted with distress inks....layered and lifted...simple...quick but stunning effect, great for when time is short but impact is required. Just need to add a sentiment in the middle when required.


I came away very satisfied......and a bit inspired I have to say........just such a shame that there is never a stand selling time!!!!..........lol...........yes I know it would be the first one to sell out !!

Thank you for stopping by today...I do hope you are having a good week...........I shall catch up with you all very soon.

Take care, and if you have left comments for me...thank you also, I love to read them.

See you all soon
Love Carole xx

  3. Another duo of gorgeous and, as you can predict, your butterflies in both have me swooning! The MDF heart sets mine a pitter-patter, while your beautifully coloured-and-lifted butterflies are absolutely marvelous! Impressive make-and-takes in every way!

  8. Those butterflies are amazing. I know what you mean, I wouldn't normally go for this sort of thing but they look fantastic in blue and gold. It certainly has impact.
