MDUC ~ Make your own flowers

Hello,

Hope you are all well.

This week at MDUC we have an awesome challenge.

We want you to...

MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS

As you all know I nearly always make my own, 

so this should have been an easy week for me...

But no!!! 

My mojo has gone AWOL ~ AGAIN!!!!

I coloured in a new Tilda ( Mouline Rouge ) twice,

and both ended up on the cutting room floor LOL

So I settled for an "easier" Tilda to colour!

 The sentiment is from LOTV ~ Simply Sophisticated, 

Everything else is linked at the bottom of this post

Make sue you check out what my gorgeous teamies have come up with!

I like to move it, move it.......

Good evening,

The title of my post has taken me back a few years, 

we had that song at our wedding disco in 1994 !

This week at MDUC we'd like to see something that moves on your card.

Well this sent some of the DT in a bit of a panic ~ Me included, LOL

But it really doesn't have to be too complicated . . .
It can be a moving tag or even a swinging charm.

I have made a wiper card, you can find the tutorial here 

 When opened, a sweet butterfly pops up!

 It's really quite simple to make and I've kept the embellishments fairly low key too.
Sorry for the poor photos, couldn't get the lighting right !

Hope you can join us,

Reading Beauty

Good afternoon,
