Christmas time...


It's the time of the year,
I love to make home deco decorations. This is one of them!
You can buy one very expensive or make one yourself. 
Take 5 branchesand color them white. Push them together and
 add a cord around them. 
Put small hooks in the branches and get decorating.
 
 
 
 And this winterwreath is made so fast out of an old curtain.
You need two things to make this, an old curtain and a styrofoam ring 
I would say around 20 cm round.
 
 Tear the curtain into strokes 4 cm wide, tye them around the styrofoam ring.
Cut off the lenght wenn the stroke is to long.
I added this heart in the middle of the heart. Very easy bye 
using a needle that is pushed into the styrofaom ring.
I hope you enjoy these home decos!
Bye bye Mascha

Another dylusion inkts card!

This is definitly one of my favorite images,
I used a template made fron an old game. A memory game with round pieces.
Make the background with a template and dylusion inkts and let dry, 
add text in another color.

The image was stamped on a coffe filter. The background is made on white paper.
 Adhere elements on your card. 
Added element is from Grunge board. I used metallic brads to fasten it on the card.
 At last add the ribbon and your card is finished.
