Oh So Pretty with Foam

So !!!!! We have made it through another year and it has reached that time for us to have our last class of 2018 and also my last blog post for this year.  I would like to thank everyone especially the ladies who come to the classes for making them such good fun you could almost say Special! 😂 yes I know you will all be laughing at that statement lol!
Well for the last time this year at least I can reveal that we shall be indulging in a little die cutting and because you will all get a lovely break over the next couple of weeks I decided to make sure you get your fill just to keep you going throughout the festive season until we return in 2019....
I have been playing with some of my flower dies and the rather lovely foliage dies (Elderflower and Rose Leaves) from John Next Door aka Mr. Lockwood. I for one love them.
I teamed everything up with the new Flower Moulding Foam and I have really  enjoyed using this as it makes a nice change from card and paper.
Hope you like these two 7x7 cards as much as I liked creating them x
Distress Inks
Mowed Lawn
Vintage Photo
Dusty Concord
Izink Ocean
Izink Purple pigment ink used on the flowers
*Tweezers* essential unless you have asbestos fingers as we need to use the Glue Gun, No Touching the Hot Glue you have been warned.
Blending tools

 I used two circle dies to create the circular frame then embossed it in a folder
The coloured edges are Izink Ocean and a hint of Dusty Concord

The Sentiment is a Die'sire Die from Crafters

These foam packs are exceptional value and even though I have bought a few as they come in different colour ways I will be buying more

Colours of the flowers you make in class may vary slightly
Colour of the foam is subject to change and availability

The background for this one has been cut with another Die'sire Die and then embossed with the same folder, it's one of Sara's Signature Collection's, I colour tinted it with the Dusty Concord ink
I did the same with the die cut flowers.
There is just a touch of glitter glue on these flowers but you can't really tell in these photos.
Okay so that's it ! All that remains is to Wish You All a Very Happy Christmas. Winter Blessings and Goodwill for the Season and I will see you Next Year and may 2019 be a happy and prosperous one for us ALL 🎄🌟

Good afternoon folks, thank goodness my cold has finally started to depart and we can now continue with our last few classes of 2018 before the big seasonal event is upon us.
