Decorative Lamp Shade - Let Fuschia Light The Way!

Decorative lamp shades are a fun way to spice up your decor in a customized way.  I decided to take a plain, off-white lamp shade and give it new life.  I love the results - how fun!

How simple it was to paint and add ribbon.  I used a combination of flowers purchased from a craft store and handmade paper flowers.  Very fun, VERY!

Make It Monday #170: Masking With Die Cuts

For this Make It Monday challenge, I used coordinating Spellbinders circle dies to cut the masks for the stamps.  I chose to keep this card clean and simple.  Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: Papertrey Ink Dot Spot and Think Big Favorites #24

Ink: Memento Love Letter, Tangelo, and Dandelion.  For sentiment -Hero Arts black dye ink

Paper: Gina K. Designs heavy base weight white

Handmade Flowers With Fabric Centers

This was my first attempt at handmade flowers.  But I thought I'd add something extra a put a knot of ribbon in the centers.  I also made a matching envelope. I think the results are very classy!  I hope you enjoy.

Runway Inspired Challenge #56 - Alice+Olivia and Make It Monday #157: DIY Cover Plates

For my entry in both the Runway Inspired Challenge and Make It Monday Challenge, I drew a starburst pattern with a Copic marker.  I cut out the circles using Spellbinders circle dies, colored the circles with copics and pasted them.  I stamped tone on tone starburst patterns on the circles and put a dot of glitter in the centers for some extra sparkle.  Thanks for stopping by!
