Addicted to Stamps and More - Die cuts and/or stencils

 

This is my Die cut/Stencil project...for Challenge #490 at Addicted to Stamps and More

I made a couple of cards using a die I picked up in Spotlight - of a Kangaroo Paw.

I cut this in two colours for each card to give an idea of the plants.

The sentiments are from sets of Australian Stamps.

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

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Jane

My card started with a silver grey card blank.

On the front I added images from LEcoloringpages on etsy cut with oval dies.

I used a green matting layer and words printed on the computer.

Color Dare Challenge #646

 

  This picture shows my make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge - 

It is my Birthday today so I wanted to make a Birthday card.

 It is made with various layers of violet and pink. The stripey layers are washi tape. I also used embossing folders to add texture.

When I chose the colours they seemed to match the challenge pretty well but on photographing they are much darker.

My husband has made me a new light box - my old one no longer seemed to produce good reproductions -  so I am hoping I can improve on my photographs in the future...

Hope you will join the Color Dare Challenge...

Happy Crafting!

 

WOYWW #826

  

It is Wednesday so

 I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

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 #826 

In amongst the clutter you can see a junk journal page using the Conjuror of Dreams progressive image.

I was also adding to the travel journal that I showed you last week.

However this was a folio made from a paper crafting virtual retreat I was on last weekend - a workshop by Jenny Curthoys. This used Mintay papers.

The front page of this has the chipboard sentiment.

You can see on my desk the paper on which I was painting this. This may become ATC backing!

 I am very late posting this. We have had a week and a half. This is why I didn't get around to any commenting last week - weekend retreat plus our car broke down on Thursday. It is now in the 'shop' waiting to be mended. So we had a hire car... This had a flat tyre on Tuesday so we are now on a second but none of this is easy! Sophie locked herself out on Sunday night so we had to nip over with our key. 10.30 at night so it meant a late night. She is only 20 mins away though so not too bad. She was putting her bins out and the door shut...

Add these to the previous catalogue of disasters - my computer failing and Kevin's phone battery almost exploding it's been one thing and another. Anyway Soph sent some flowers to say thanks - not necessary but nice!!

I have been making some more faux postage stamps and ATCs...

Gecko Galz images:

These were some Conjuror of Dreams images I had printed on my desk.

Oh I meant to add yesterday we were taking recycling bottles in to the 10c machine - this goes into Ollie's pocket money.

One of the bottles was not quite empty - he was not happy!

But that's all for now...

Happy WOYWW!
