The Matching Necklace

Here it is – the matching necklace I told you about two weeks ago.
I returned to Simply Craft on Saturday for another jewellery class and this is the result.
Once again, it was a relatively straightforward class, but with more of the wire work involved this time.


The things that I find difficult are: turning the t pieces on the round nose pliers to make a nice loop and opening and closing the rings to join things together!
Apparently practice is the key – so I need to sit down with a length of wire and do just that.
Take care.

Golden Wedding Card

I've just made a very quick card for our friends Nancy and Dave, who celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary a week on Saturday.
However, have you noticed that when you make or receive a card using gemstones, that they often pierce the envelope while they are in the mail?


To overcome this, I bought a sheet of holographic dot peel offs and used them to create some faux bling.
This is basically a superfast card. A sheet of gold mirri board, with a section of Kanban cardstock matted onto it.
A few of the afore mentioned holographic dots strategically placed on the flower centres and swirls and a peel off sticker for the word Golden.
I do hope they like it.
Take care.
