Hello Crafty Friends!
Something a little different for you today...... Suzanne and Amira are taking part in the April 2018 Aussie Youtube Hop which has an autumn theme.
Suzanne has created a beautiful Tussie Mussie ... you can find it below. Then make sure to click on the link to watch Suzanne's video and to hop along through all the other fabulous autumn youtube projects.
Yes... there will be a prize ;)
What a busy month it is turning out to be. I've had a wonderful two weeks with my daughter who has been home from University and now its back to school for both of us. All good things must come to an end I guess. Anyway, April is the month for another Aussie YouTube hop and this time I have made a Autumn Tussie Mussie. (No, I didn't make up this term, its a real thing, I promise)
To make this Tussie Mussie, I used two 12 x 12 sheets of the dots and stripes paper that were in the April kit. I glued the sheets together and then made them into a cone then trimmed off the top so that it looked like a giant ice-cream cone. I used my crop-a-dile to make two holes on either side of the top of the cone so that I could put on a handle. I then covered the entire cone with burlap and then with two large wedding appliques that I coffee stained because they were stark white and didn't fit in with the Autumn colours that I had used.
I made three butterflies with some dies that I have and also used a metal flower and some material that I had gelli printed on for decorations for the front of the tussie mussie.

I also made a bunch of paper flowers in warm Autumn colours and placed them inside the tussie mussie.
For the bottom of the tussie mussie I used some of the gel printed leaves that I had made earlier in the month with the gorgeous lawn fawn dies from the kit and covered them with ultra thick embossing enamel to give them some strength and shine. I threaded them each with gold thread and attached them to the bottom of the tussie mussie.
Here is my finished tussie mussie.
Thank you for having a look at my tussie mussie.
