Hi again!
Two posts in one evening!!
Well......following on from my earlier post I have really got carried away with the funky foam and made even more flowers and butterflies to make a wallhanging for my home using, of course, my newest fave distress ink....Peacock Feathers!!
I used my laptop to generate the 'Live, Laugh, Love' sentiment and printed it out in teal ink. I glued this to a chipboard blank and then inked all over with the distress ink. The roses, butterflies and swirls were all die cut from funky foam using my Big Shot Pro....and then inked over lightly with the distress ink. I also cut 2 butterflies from shrink plastic, shrunk them in the oven and inked those also.
Here it is.....

Hi
A rainy bank holiday last Tuesday and whilst entertaining my two little ones with painty crafty stuff I discovered funky foam!! I was die-cutting shapes from it to make into basic stamps for the girls to use with their paints when I got a little carried away and tried to make a flower after seeing one recently on the Marianne Facebook page.
A dab of hot glue later and my flower was made and I was suddenly addicted...especially when I discovered that I could colour and distress it with my fave Distress Inks. So every evening since I have been creating little flowers, leaves, butterflies and swirls from funky foam to add to a photo frame blank and tissue box blank to make a pretty gift set for my partner's mum's birthday. I decided to make it in neutral colours to go with their new bedroom decor......
Ta da.
....here they are
