This is what Emma & Margaret came across during a recent trip to Ikea. What made it even more interesting was that it was reduced to £2.99 because of it being an end of line.
It must have sparked some crafty ideas becasue they bought a load and then came up with a project for today's crop - with some help from Caroline who made up a sample as a demo piece.
From boring tea-light holder to pretty frame with the help of some Webster's Pages PPs, some dotted swiss CS, a few die cuts, assorted brads & blooms and some alcohol inks.
I added some grunge paper roses coloured with toning alcohol inks and blinged up a bit with some stickles, along with a couple of pretty hair clips and some embossed ivy-leaf punched shapes. Oh, and I nearly forgot the resin butterflies that I found recently and had to buy as I was sure they would come in handy for something LOL.
I just love the way the 'Tim Holtz' style roses really add something to a project.
I think I need to convert some photos to B/W or Sepia for this project so at the moment there are no pics on it but I really love the way this all came together......

So pretty. Looking forward to seeing it with piccies in, it will be amazing. How's the finger?!
How come you haven't got your one posted on your blog, Lucy?
Finger is not too bad - but that'll teach me to try and unblock glitter glue with pointed scissors LOL
