Playing with the new toy!

A few weeks ago Wipso and I were lucky enough to win the Cuttlebug in Crafty Dawn's give-away.

As we are not paper crafters we didn't already have dies or embossing folders to play with - until yesterday that is.

I have treated us to the Tim Holtz tattered flowers die and have spent time playing with it so that I can share my ideas and experiments with Wipso on funday Monday.

So - here we are folks....

Now, I know there are lots of very talented card makers out there, so ignore the simplicity of the design.

I just wanted to see how the die performed on fabric and decided these little cards would be useful.

Of course we crafters always have a few embellishments in a drawer somewhere so I managed to find a few brads etc to trim them up with.

Then.....

I had to have a go at heat distressing some of the chiffon and voile flowers that I produced.

I used my little tool that looks like a little hairdrier - it worked a treat.

Once I had tweaked them up with a few beads and brooch backs, I decided they were pretty enough to sell.

They will go into the blog shop along with some lovely brooches Wipso made last week.

Now I am looking for new ideas to use my fabric flowers.

What do you think?
