Melt Pot and Grunge paper....






Hi,
Less than 24 hours and i'm back again...
I promise that I would put some pictures on for Marie in Canada a while ago and then I never got around to it. Sorry Marie....!
So as well as the grunge paper flowers on the boxes I have used my melt pot....and wanted to show you the flower I made first and just love it....
The first box is the blue one and I wanted to keep it plain. There is a bit of a flaw in it but i'm not saying what but it is the melt pot flower that I love. The basic shape is one from a mega bag of shapes I bought from Craft Work Cards based here in Leeds and the middle is an old button that I bought from the market on the East coast of the UK and thought it was a perfect match. the side view is just to show that I try and thread ribbon around just to keep the box together a little as the sides kept coming unstuck using DS tape, on the cream box I managed to use eyelets..

The cream box was the one I made after watching Tim Holtz. It is not fantastic but I like it. The flower was my first one made with his grunge paper. The big bold beads that I bought from the same market on the east coast are wonderful and knew I would find a use for them as I just bought them because they were so nice... What are we like....Lol..

I have also finished my wedding card but will put it here in the next few days..

Get your melt pot out and use it it is so much fun, but I now want more colours ;o)
I would also love some of the TH sizzix flower dies.... My list gets longer every hour...
