WOYWW + Nicecrane Blossom Birds Vintage Images

 {Warning ~ photo heavy post}

Hullo there everyone - Yesss! another week of desk hopping again already over at WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday chez Julia) and wow! what glorious autumnal day we have here in Oz! Just superb, God-blessed, sunshiny weather, with some good rain at night .. perfect Goldilocks weather. 

Here is my desk as left last night - you can see me in the middle of making another card with the wonderful Nicecrane images shown on last week's desk.

Using the Vintage Butterfly and Blossoms set this time around.. will share when done!

Embossed Kassie's Brocade folder (CB), die cut image with Beaded Ovals (SB) and fancy labels 3 with verse from Word Art Wednesday. See also on desk ribbon under consideration, new purchase of tacky craft glue from Spotlight at rear and the "Joy" diecuts still hopefully waiting to be made into Christmas cards.. for quite a few months!
Now on left - my desk a few days ago...

 I really had fun inking up a folder here. First swiped a royal blue pad across the flatter side of folder then embossed in CB  for blue impression on white snippet of card (CB Floral Screen). Took Brilliance Dewdrops in green, gold & iron metallic colour; randomly swiped over the blue embossed card and dried with heat gun. Verse is from Word Art Wednesday.

What a joy to have that strong strength as real comfort in the midst of deep trial - this card was sent to dear brother in LORD, who is really going through the mill - and of course, his wife too - in small Qld pastorate.

Mount images on gold; as was running out of gold paper, I used Verasmark swipe on edge and gold embossing paper for the bottom layer on card base, hence the uneven edge.

And here is the finished card .. must admit these images are even better in real life than on screen and they are so special to work with!! I have a $50 Canon Inkjet four year old printer.. and used ordinary card from Officeworks for this digi image and they print just superbly!
Thank you so much Ignacio, for so kindly sending me these beautiful Birds and Blossoms images!

I thought I would share these two photos as my Aussie shots this week.. 

A few months back family and I were sitting on bank above this beach.. 

Watching as a small group pulled up in a four wheel vehicle with trailer on back, then unpacked the motorised chair below, and the two pups and co. proceeded along the beach for their walk. It did cheer one's heart to see it.

 

Thanks so verry much everyone for popping over for a peek and chat!

May God bless your day wherever you maybe,
