Friday's Handmade Finds: Smoky Blues

Exploring handmade creations is a journey that I take frequently. I just can't help myself! This week, it was smoky blues . . .

Organic T-Shirt by ilovemixtapes
Science shows there is reason it's important to read a book, so this T-shirt gives excellent advice. Read a book - It's good for you :)

Crochet Gloves by skywatcher1121
Crochet lace is a lovely way to add a vintage look to your fashions & living spaces. You can find someone to make it for you or DIY with free patterns.

Owl Necklace by poisonberryjewelry
Did you know? Owls' eyes are fixed in their sockets, which means they have to turn their entire head to look in a different direction. Luckily, they have excellent binocular vision to make up for it.

Cupcake 196: Red, White & Blue

This challenge for Cupcake Craft Challenges was by far the most difficult & frustrating for me than any other challenge I've done. Why? It's just a simple color scheme, Corrinne - How difficult can that be?

I'm a July baby, so everything for my birthday (whether it's a calendar or personalized item) always has this color scheme along with stars & stripes. Hey, I like red, white & blue. I like stars, too. I just would like a little variety for July!

Ok, ok . . . enough with my thoughts. Let's get to the task at hand, which is sharing my creation with you. The first card I made was nice, but it needed more to it & I just couldn't figure out what to add. My second card was okay, but I messed it up with painted flowers. This is my third attempt . . .


The flower & heart are crocheted (not by me as I suck at crochet.) I painted, glittered & sealed a chipboard flourish for the embellishment under everything. The background print is fabric NOT paper.


I am a guest designer at Cupcake Craft Challenges for the month of June! Join me & the other wonderful designers by making your own Red, White & Blue creation to share.
