Happy Birthday to Me

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Today is actually my birthday. So far I have been taken out to lunch by a couple of friends and this evening my husband is taking me out for a meal. So apart from having to work this morning quite a nice day.

I am sharing my first try with Foamiran. I have been seeing all the beautiful flowers on Facebook and other peoples blogs so I ordered some and it came yesterday. I still have a lot to learn.


I did start with the flowers. They took a while to make. I watched some YouTube videos to see what to do, but being me I did my own thing a bit.  I wanted to use a lattice so I found my Stitched Lattice frames set by Sue Wilson. 


These flowers are my second attempt. I have thrown away my first attempt. I know they aren't like other peoples I have quite a bit to learn. The centres were made with Babies Breath silk flowers that I bought for the wedding but didn't need. That is where the leaves came from too. Part of the reason I wanted to make this type of flower is the bits and bobs I bought for the wedding but ended up not needing. Plans have evolved and changed over time. 


I made a flag with the Stitched Flag dies by Sue Wilson and I used some Britannia dies to make the sentiment. 


I was quite pleased with how this card turned out. I will be having another go with the foam. I got better as I went along so I want another play. 

Enjoy the rest of the day. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

    Hi Jackie,

    oh this card is gorgeous and your flowers are so pretty.
    Love your wonderful design, and the lattice looks super.
    I have been smitten by all the flowers being produced with the foamiran, and never new it exsisted till I did the flower challenge on the blog.
    That's one of my next challenges to try out.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    This is so pretty with your handmade flowers. Bet it felt great to be able to use up someof your bits and bobs from the wedding.

    The colours here are lovely and I like the way the flowers and the sentiment share center stage!
