Ive titled todays post Pretty Cracker as I feel that whilst being a Christmas cracker i think this is really pretty!
I made the cracker using my Proper Cracker die and using the method on the youtube channel. It was then time to decorate which is my favourite part!
I made up 3 large poinsettias using my poinsettia die and flower foam. I shaded and moulded the flowers adding stamens in the centre and clear glitter. I arranged these on a spray of my swirl ivy die cuts and Christmas foliage from the local pound shop!
A real mix of items but I hope you agree, pretty!
Enjoy...
Morning John, oh yes I totally agree that this is really pretty in fact I would go so far as to say it is flippin amazing, I love it and am intending to make some as soon as I gt time, it is on my list of thing to do, also thank goodness for the pound shops that is what I say.

An amazing creation. Much too pretty to pull!
ReplyDeleteGood morning John. What a gorgeous offering today I agree with all of the previous comments and wish I could coin a new word for treasures such as this one.
ReplyDeleteMy Daughter took me on my bi-annual trip to Inspirations in Preston on Wednesday and I bought a few of your products including an item that I'm not sure how to use. The packaging doesn't give any information so I must see if it's on U-tube.
Keep up the good work but don't tire yourself out.
Regards,
