FLOWER FRAME PLUS ONE

Hi all, today I have a card to show you that I would like to enter into the following challenges:

DELICIOUS DOODLES - FLOWER FRAMES (FREEBIE)

CREATED WITH LOVE - ANYTHING GOES

TOTALLY GORJUSS - ANYTHING GOES WITH FLOWERS

THE ABC CHALLENGE - O FOR OPEN

For my card I have used the Flower Frame Freebie from Delicious Doodles, I used the My Craft Studio programme to insert the PNG image of 'Chloe with Daisy', available from Pink Gem Designs, I also used a second frame reduced in size and inserted a sentiment.  I coloured both Chloe and the frames with Copics, the papers are from K&Co, I also added some flower pearls, blue and pink organza ribbon and double bow and some punched butterflies.

I have a feeling that my crochet work is not that impressive but I am still learning so I can only get better, right, lol.

I decided to do my own thing again and crocheted a, cross body messenger style bag, I used black and orange for the colours, I used the Magic Circle technique to make two faux buttons, the flowers I followed a pattern on You Tube by Hectanooga, the orange flower is smaller as I used a smaller hook and only one yarn of wool, for the larger flower I decided to use both the black and orange wool together and did a longer loopy chain.  I used the two yarns to chain the long handle then added some tassels.  After I finished the bag I then decided to do a mobile phone case holder using orange as the main colour then black for the faux button.

I would like to enter this project into the following challenge

C.R.A.F.T - ANYTHING BUT A CARD

I think I have managed to visit all my friends who left me comments on my previous posts, unfortunately I am a little overwhelmed at the moment with all the changes that are going on in blogland.  My mind is not performing as well as it was and I am finding it difficult to work out all the different postings that are happening not only in blogger but also bloglovin and google plus, in fact I am feeling a bit like I am being drowned, I do hope that I do not meet my demise in the land of blog.

I am so very grateful for you all who take time out to come and visit me it means the world to me to have your support and encouragement the comments are always so lovely, so thank you.

I really love the deep rich colours of the flowers and papers also the vintage style, I printed off two Rose images then cut them out as they are perfect for decoupage, I have layered both roses and paper onto pink card, the pink card behind the rose image has been cut using one of my grand calibur deckle edged dies which i also embossed with a lattice folder, i added pink organza ribbon and bow, sentiment, gems and a Memory Box die cut double heart.
