It's been a bit quiet around here blogger's!!! Walshie and I spent a week in Melbourne, business for him, and shopping for me......Well a bit of shopping nothing over the top! I managed to catch up with some friends too which was fun.
Whilst I was away I missed a new stamp and die release from AnnaBelle, did you join in the hop to win a lovely Christmas set with a matching die? Hope so.
Andrea also released a fabulous border die this month that I was, pardon the pun 'dying' to play with.
Flameless candles were everywhere in Melbourne so with this in mind I thought about using the die to create a Luminaire.
Basically four die cut borders which I adhered to four corner scored strips. The tube when formed is adhered to a square base and it's here that I place my battery operated tea light.
I used a Memory Box die to tiz up the front of my Luminaire, adding some pearls and AnnaBelle's fine hemp twine. I also made and decorated a small saucer to stand the Luminaire in........what do you think?
It looks pretty in the dark too......though not so easy to photograph:)
Hope you checked out all the Belle's projects last Friday........they were all gorgeous!
See you Friday for AnnaBelle's usual Friday challenge............bye!
