WOYWW #902

        

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW#902 


Here's my desk today:
 

Rather a dumping ground!!
 I have been doing a bit of crafting but mainly just getting over the hospital stay.
 I am still on a fair amount of painkillers and then, yesterday, I went to my first (of 10) outpatients rehab session at the hospital. 
I am noticeably better than before the op...

One of the things I have done is a little folio on a French Country Village theme, for a swap.







This was made with two pieces of A4 folded in half and connected together.
The images are from My Porch Prints

The other things are on my blog if you want to scroll down.



Hope I will have more to share next week!
Have a happy WOYWW !!


Addicted to Stamps and More - make your Mark #526

 

  

This is my Make Your Mark project...for the Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More
It is an Autumnal card although we are in Spring here in Australia.
I used layers of Designer Paper on a beige card blank.
I then added the image - Visible Image Sunflower Dreams coloured with a variety of paints, acrylic blown with a straw, and water colours.


I then added the gems and sentiment, printed on the computer.



 Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team...


Happy Crafting!

Colour
Greetings
Sketch

This month it is Songs and rhymes  where your make should be inspired by this poem,

 chosen by me. This is the reminder post.



 

This is my card:





I used a white card blank followed by a piece of designer paper, then the image.
This is from Vintage Image Craft which said this about it:
This comic 1890s Victorian Trade Card, advertising KING ARTHUR FLOUR, is hilarious.
The image made me think of our rhyme.


Finally I added a few gems.
