An ending and a New Beginning...

Happy Sunday Crafters,
Today I have a little Finnabair inspired project to share which also marks the end of an era.
A year ago I was invited with the other DT members to join the
Sweet Lilac Design Team.
We joined for this fixed term which has gone in a flash!
It's been a real privilege to be a part of the team and have the opportunity to work with the most gorgeous flowers and embellishments.
So I want to say a big thank you to Sue and Chris for giving me this opportunity and the rest of the DT for being such lovely team mates and friends, lovely ladies Jo, Theresa and Linda.
As we leave a whole new design team will start their roles and be announced in a few days, this will generate new and fresh ideas and open up the opportunities to introduce more crafters to these lovely products.
We all wish the new team very well in their new roles, and are sure they'll have a great time promoting the products.
I too have a brand new role looming elsewhere and I will share more when it becomes official.
So I wanted to make a rather special piece to mark the occasion of one role ending and another beginning.
I used this mini printer tray from Tando to create my version of a Finnabair style piece.
I'm also very excited as I'll be attending Finn's Oct workshops with this lovely lady who's a complete inspiration and I really can't wait!
So here's my piece, I do hope you like it, enjoy your day.
Thank you so much for looking and all the wonderful supportive comments and feedback...xxKxx

Travel Tag Tim Style

Morning,
Today is a day off and I'm meeting with my bestie for coffee and lunch, can't wait for our catch up!
This is a quick card I made using a tag using Tim Holtz Travel stamp set and some elements for the Hero Arts Brush Strokes set, I do love these useful stamps.
Stamped in distress ink with a distress ink blended background on the card, finished with some string and raffia that I stamped on after opening it up.
Tomorrow I have a little Finn inspired make to share...
Have a lovely day xxKxx

Penny Farthing Sweet Poppy Stencils

Lots to do today so an early posting from me.
This wonderful new Penny Farthing Stencil from Sweet Poppy.
I used their bronze dimensions paste the background was created with the
Cogs and Gears Flower Background randomly inked through with distress ink.
Another great stencil for those male cards.

Steampunk Dress and Brusho's

A quick post from me, lots to do today.
I share with you this beautiful Sweet Poppy Stencils Steampunk Dress used here with silver dimensions paste. I stencilled first then spritzed and sprinkled the Brusho's, not too much water mind!
I start with the tiniest amount of water until I achieve the desired effect.
Seam binding coloured with Brusho's too.
What a combo!
Have a wonderful day! xxKxx

Flying High with Sweet Poppy Stencils

As seen on Create and Craft today the new Hot Air Balloon stencil.
Used here with a distress ink background, Bon Voyage stencil and clear micro beads on the balloons.
The day's flown by as usual so must get on...
Have a lovely evening, I'm looking forward to the new series of The Bakeoff, all that yummy baking!
Hugs xxKxx
