A Gorjuss little bit of upcycling !!!

Hi all
Here is a project I made a while ago and thought you may like to try for yourself ...I bought this black plastic frame from a local Home bargain store for 79p ...yes 79p and I got to thinking it would look so much more exciting if I added some pretty flowers and empire gold wax .I love how it turned out .I used my Tim Holtz tattered floral die. to make the flowers which I embossed with a dotty embossing folder. I then added gold pebeoempire gold  wax over the top to bring out the embossed texture I added a simple black pearl to the centre .The added leaves are made using sue Wilson leaf dies. The frame was then waxed in the corners using the same  wax .I added a gorjuss girl image just to finish it but you could easily add a fave photo....how cute is that for 79p......

Happy 60th wedding anniversary boxed card

Hi
I have been asked to make a 60th wedding anniversary card for a very special couple...I thought I would make it in cream and black as I think its quite a classy colour combo.
I used my new spellbinders mystical embrace card creator die . I used cardstock from creative expressions. The ribbon is from Meiflower crafts .The gem centre is from wild orchid. .The fab bow was tied using my Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker...I love this piece of kit and it site on my desk for every bow I tie. You can find out all about it Here

The pins are handmade too, there is a tutorial under my header above so you can have a go at making them for yourselves. I used the computer to create the wording and I made a matching box and used a pretty resin  cameo on the ribbon  that I attached with Velcro so you can open and close the box
