Give Thanks

Good Morning All

   I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and, hopefully, a healthy, prosperous and crafty one.   
                                                                ***************
It is time for a new challenge at Ladybug Crafts and a great theme of 'Give Thanks', very apt for the new year.


 Please excuse the reflection on these pics, but it is the acetate.


I used a 6 x 6 scalloped square card blank.  I do love these cards, I bought some more while I was in the UK in December.

I cut an aperture out with a Scalloped circle die and added acetate to make a window.

Cut, then matted and layered orange and white card.



I used Marianne Creatables dies LR 0106 and LR 0107 to make the flowers and cut the leaves.  Added tiny gems to the centres.

I stamped a sentiment onto a small scalloped circle.  I inked all the edges of the circle and the flowers.

I made a bead pin with an orange butterfly bead, added a button with twine tied through it.  Added a satin ribbon  round the top  (this was to hide my wonky layering)  LOL and tied it in a bow in the corner



Inside I used a decoupaged flower, mounted onto a scalloped circle to show through the window.





You have the full month of January to enter so pop over and have fun.
