Winter.....

White..that's this month's colour challenge over on the Ribbon Girl blog. Keep it simple and add interest with texture.Liquid pearls enhances the embossed snowflakes. The star is made with the Sizzix five point 3D star die, the finished star measures around 23 cm.                    

I used a Die-Namics photo frame die for this card and cut out the word with By the Letters alphabet dies.

Hop on over to The Ribbon Girl Blog and add your white creation for the chance to win some fabulous goodies!

Twinkle Twinkle....

....Little star..I've dug out this old Sizzix 3D star die.. ( Tim Holtz has a newer version ).. and used some  Pion papers from 3DJean

The glittery trim is a cheap garland from The Range, chopped up and coloured blue with alcohol ink.

Sometimes...

..You just have to keep on practicing...getting the points of theses stars to match up wasn't the easiest of tasks and as you can see I cheated! I covered them up with an appliqued circle. Sometimes life is just too short. One of the stars was made using the paper piecing technique and the other three just cut and pieced in the usual way, both have their advantages..
The pattern came from this blog...I love Victoria's made fabric technique.

If you would like the pattern for the paper pieced star then you can find it in this post.

Next time I wouldn't make the corners in a contrast  fabric.

It's not quite finished , I have the binding to do but it was a great practice piece...
