OK so it's been ages since I've made a post, it's just been too frantic in Leo land! I have been good this week and made a card for the DMC little extra challenge....
I made some coin flowers. I call them coin flowers because I use different sized coins, place them on some paper and hold them down while I tear the paper into different sized rounds. You can then scrundle the edges up with a ruler too if you want. Stitch on a button in the center to hold all the bits together and you're done. It's something I used to do on scrapbook LO's, in fact it's a fab way of displaying coins if you've collected them from your trip, stick them in the middles of the blossoms. I'll have a pic of that somewhere to dig up....
So that's one card anyway, I have another one that got finished and then never photographed till today. The DMC challenge for this card was to use a teabag on your card. I made a teacup shaped card from one of my Crafty Templates designs (it's in the subscribers area if you're a subscriber, in set 2 I think) some Love Elsie stickers, Bazzill card, Dream Street papers and one of my mums relaxing tea bags. Mum has a cupboard full of weird and wonderful herbal teas but I've only ever seen her drink coffee, so I figured she wouldn't miss this one.
TFL & happy crafting!xx Leo
