Hullo one and all.. how quickly we are flying through another week!
Well beginning this week with a challenge or two this week..As most of you know I belong to OSA (or Oriental Stamp Art group). Each week there are layout challenges and monthly there are technique challenges.
Last week's layout challenge is over here. To make a card with punched or cut out vase and flower in CAS style, must have stamping and be Oriental.

I
had a play a week or so ago for the April "re-inkers and make a background" challenge with
glossy photo card and dye re-inkers, but did not make a card (plus used silver alcohol re-inker a little with alcohol blending
solution to aid ink dispersion, cleaned off excess with a hand wipe and this really made it pop. Excess ink removed once it was dry made it all stand out.). Really intense and
almost like marbling! The saw challenge 267, thought to combine it, so hot off the press, here's two!

Stamped Artneko Small Brushstroke Orchid http://www.artneko.com/displayItem/A148-0006
Used the colour with water markers and "huff" method.
Cuttlebug Alphabet Olivia die has a vase (and flowers) with phrase
"hi" on it. Put Taylor Expressions eyelet border on side to show off
more of the inky photo paper. Rounded corners on right side to reflect the scallop on left.
Love both of these cards and method.. plus used "Not Much Used Before Schtuff" again!
Update on folk in Far North Qld with Cyclone Ita: Well, she packed a punch but no where as bad as feared - mercifully no deaths, some homes, about forty, in Cooktown damaged and lots of flooding from the torrential rain. Sadly many banana and sugar cane farmers have lost a lot of crops, rain and wind flattened them. However compared to what was predicted, this was better news in a lot of places, so thanks for thoughts and prayer.
Thanks too for popping over for peek and chat. May God bless your day and those you love, wherever you may be! Shaz in Oz.x
I would like to join thse over to:
