That Craft Place challenge

Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is Indepence day or red, white and blue.  I went mad and made a couple of projects!!

Lisa sells the most amazing jumbo wooden pegs to alter.  I painte the peg with picket fence distress stain to add a whitewashed look, and then simply wrapped some spotty grosgrain ribbon round it.  I die cut large flowers out of navy blue paper and added my own crocheted flowers.   I tied a bow, added a wooden heart button and a flwer button with some embroidery thread tied through it.  Finally some more red button flowers.

Supplies: 

 wooden peg

Embellishments: crochet flowers, buttons, ribbon

Tools: Joy flower die, crochet hook

Challenges:

The Paper Shelter - lots of flowers

I used Beach Ball from Crafty Sentiments and coloured her in using my promarkers, before cutting her out and matting her onto a fancy oval. I love these papers from Fair Skies, very country in lots of ways.  I matted them onto navy cardstock, and added a doilly some lace and ribbon.  I crocheted some flowers and added buttins and a knot to them.  I die cut a banner and hanging heart and finally added som bling.
