I had fun making this piece and I'm really pleased with it - it features my beautiful accordion die - I've used the lovely iris and daisy stamps from Imagination Crafts and also the Floral arch stencil from Imagination crafts and champagne sparkle medium. All of the imagination crafts products could be purchased from the Imagination Crafts website - and if you were lucky enough to be the winner of my candy to be drawn on the 13th January - you could use it to buy these!!!!
I cut four of the accordion die pieces then used the floral arch and sparkle medium to decorate the edges. Whilst this was drying I cut 1 pieces for the centre of each panel. Then I did some stamping and paper piecing with the flowers. Then finally did the panel with the birthday message and stuck the pieces altogether.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
