Winged Things and Handmade Flowers

These are  actually almost 3 inches in diameter, cut with scallop or wave scissors and offset in layers.

To make the brown roses, I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die cuts and for the scalloped flowers,new Quickutz die cuts in vellum and I inked the edges in blue.

I love the new Stampin Up Butterfly die      I got from Shannon, her blog is here!

Linden Tree - a study in design

">


I was inspired by this post:
">getscatty
I have loved this silhouette look as it comes and goes through the years, and I tried to find some fabric samples to share. It wasn't easy to find much under the name Linden, but there are centuries of use of the Linden tree in heraldry and centuries old European wood carvings and other designs. I knew Ikea would have it, they always have some of this style of design in their offerings.

November New Ideas

I have been making a few items and I will post pictures soon. I'm still pretending it's Autumn, and we have finally had some really cool breezes and beautiful clouds the past few days. (I wish I hadn't heard the 100 deg. forecast for the end of the week)! So, schedule some time to come over and make some table decorations for Thanksgiving, or maybe some Christmas tags. I am also planning a Cookie Exchange for the beginning of December, so let me know if you are interested.
