Made a Zine

Morning and I found this tutorial to make something out of an 11" x 8 and a quarter inches paper/card I had never heard of before a Zine so I made one lol.You just fold and make one little cut-thats it and you decorate using little oddments and I knew I had some Vintage adverts BUT whilst looking for them I found an almost empty paper pad from Studio light,had it for years and I had used all the papers but left a few pages of the colourful image to fussy cut but never found the right project-but this was it!I fussy cut all the image,sentiments and the little washi tape images and the two strips the birds were standing on was candles but thought that was going just too far!When closed it measures 4" x 2 and three quarter inches (10x7cms) Quite enjoyed making this little fun Zine.The B.paper was from K&C in the QVC Dawn Bibby days.

Happy Birthday and Bees

Morning and my second DT post today is for the Birthday challenge at Dragonfly Dreams.Welcome to our two GDT Jan R and Lynda(Loopyloo)

I used a sketch using a tutorial I saw at Beccys Place.

The P.papers are from The Paper Boutique,black enamel dots and little Bee from stash.The Steampunky flowers are from a platic bag full of loose stamps so your guess is as good as mine! I stamped them,cut the petals and layered after colouring with a light grey promarker,the Happy Birthday is from Stampin Up,I drew the line around the card with a fineliner pen and ruler.
