About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

That Friday feeling, hoping it arrives soon!

Well, a good way to start off the Friday feeling is with a new dare over on the DCM blog.

As it's the first Friday of the month we are going back to our flowers of the month theme.

October's flowers are the Calendula and Cosmos.

I have gone for the Calendula as my inspiration.

Paper: Crate Paper, Making Memories
Stamps: PTI
Dies: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders, PTI
Seam binding: The Ribbon Reel
Brad: Crate Paper
Other: Distress ink, 3D foam, pattern wheel

The flowers are made using the Cuttlebug daisy quilling set, I cut the plain strips from grey cardstock and then used two of the middle petal details for the large flowers, and one petal strip for the smaller ones. A lot of crumpling on the leaves but I really like the end result. I am rather partial to grey at the moment, mixed in with aqua tones, coral or yellow... so expect to see more grey in the future!

Unfortunately the ink on the background doesn't show up so well in the photo (hate photographing on an evening) but it all works quite nicely together in real life. :o)

Don't forget to check out the cards from the rest of the design team - so many different interpretations of this month's flowers.

Happy creating!
