Today I used a gum leaf from the garden to ink out an autumn card.
I used a gold background Then inked around the leaf several times using old paper distress ink and pinecone ink.
I added a cluster of items next to my sentiment -hatpin, button, leaf and some hessian.
This is for Shopping our stash.
At Lasting memories they want a circle using punches or die cuts. I used die cuts but the letter Q in various sorts,
When we went to Disneyland we had to queue everywhere. I used 2 photos of the queues then surrounded them with various Q letter.. It is something different and a good way to use up random letters.
Here is the sketch for Atlantic Hearts challenge
The wood veneer cherries or peaches replace the leaves on the sketch.
Next, I added the flower, leaves and circular sentiment. "Sweet life" could cover many occasions.
I've also made a card for Neglected stuff challenge.
These presents die cuts have been hanging around my craft room for ages along with the word Christmas. I've had them for a few years and been meaning to use them.
Today was the day. My background paper features some houses, so I cut it so the houses were in one corner then added my gifts and sentiment. I used a thin washi tape in silver to finish off the card.
The challenge at Cardz 4 guyz is men's clothes.
I made a Christmas card featuring all the different clothes Santa needs.
I added a doiley and some green enamel dots plus my sentiment of course.
At Challenge YOUrself the criteria is bling.
I've used my kit for this layout and it is an old photo that I might have used before. The colours were right.
I used a paper that had little flowers/splashes in the background. These were perfect for the pearl bling and sugar rush dots I used to highlight my photo area.
I also used 3 tags, washi tape, a small heart sticker plus my title "Happy life". The quote says "My favourite thing to do is go where I have never been"
A close up of the bling. The green sugar dots are almost the same colour as the paper.
At Lasting Memories they ask us to do our journalling in a circle.
We were having lunch at a nursery cafe and watching the Ibis standing on a statue nearby. These 3 photos show the various stages of its climbing. I've used a pink and grey theme with a hint of yellow.
