Well, just a very quick post here .. as have two cards to share here. First one is for a close family birthday.

Jan is a watercolour artist so wanted to be special. Great digi image which is called Mrs Monet and Son by Claude Monet, image was free from my friend Ginny (link here to post) on her blog. Mounted on Spellbinder Fleur de Lis Labels 8 had cut around top layer to match bottom layer.
Folder is the one I cut down ages ago now .. see this post here - it was 8 x 8 made it a 6x 8 with border die :D (see here) and dont have large machine but so wanted it.
Above is my desk when I was making it.. and embossed with Crafter's Companion Die'sire Embossalicious Embossing Folder - Regency Swirls a black sheet of cardboard then highlighted with pigment ink Blue Glacier Opalite which gives it a lovely blue green sheen on this brown/black cardboard and the one below which is a black-black cardboard. I have three reams half used of black card, and the bottom one is the blackest of them - was using snippets hence different colours. I have them categorized that way, and this Tsukneko interference ink showed what difference the colours make - it was really striking. {as snippets involved all over this card from the gold sheet which was back off another card sent me, digi was printed out in February.. etc. off to playground!}

This card was made for a friend Karen who was having a rough time with cancer.. and still having it - secondary, so prayer appreciated. Hence the verse I chose, I think from Word Art Wednesday .

| Used the Nicecrane Birds and Blossoms, (with tiny snippet of ribbon, that was all of it). Digi verse I think from http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com.au. |
True living strength and peace is found in the hearts of those resting..and trusting in their God.
and to close wanted to link over with Annie's Smile ("A Stitch In Time") today too, as it is Friday.

I have never seen or even heard of a Lorikeet before. They are adorable, as are your cards. Hope your friend's health improves. She will definitely be in my thoughts.

Sorry I'm so late calling by this week...I've had an extra day with my munchkins today. :-) Lots and lots of fun and giggles all day.
Really love those gorgeous little lorikeets....amazing colours :-)
Hugs,
Annie x
oh, wow...those little birdies don't even look real.....I thought they were some crafty thing at first...how cute they are!!
Hi Shaz, love your cards - the embossing is beautiful, I can quite see why you wanted it so much. The gold and blue colour combination is gorgeous too. And the lorikeets are adorable - you are so lucky to have these wee beauties around you, the only place I'm likely to see them here is in an aviary. Thanks for sharing. Elizabeth xx
Each card is lovely, and I have some of that ink too, and haven't used it. It looked fantastic on your embossing.Loved the w/color - so lovely. But you know I'll have to say #2 is my fav (those birds! Aren't those digis wonderful? Can't remember if I got that set, got something with birds). You did a marvelous job with each image. TFS the delightful little 'keets. Oh my - to have such bright colors to enjoy in your area. Prayers for your friend Karen too. So good to see you feeling like posting and crafting again. Hugs, Happy Mom's Day & TFS
This is so pretty, Shaz. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing in our challenge again this week, and may God bless and keep you always.

Shaz, I linked to your blog tonight, wanted to share your excellent tips!!
xoxox
Absolutely beautiful work, as always, Shaz! Will keep Karen in my thoughts.
And those little Lorikeets are delightful - so, so cute!
I spotted that over at Kim's you wondered if the Memory Box Grand Happy Birthday die would go through the Cuttlebug. It sure does. Either way is fine although I tend to cut mine using it sideways on so I can have some spare card at either side of the die cut to then trim down. Hope this makes sense?!
Love and hugs
Di xx

Your card is simply stunning, So rich and gorgeous. It will be treasured by Karen. Our thoughts and prayers are with her. xx
Both cards are beautiful Shaz! Love the dramatic colors and embossing folder! Thanks for joining us this week at ODBD!
Lovely cards, Shaz, and that bible verse image is lovely isn't it? Said a prayer for your friend Karen and I was reminded of this quote I saw today, "I have learned to kiss the wave that slams me into the Rock of Ages."
Two wonderful cards, the embossing folder is fabulous - it's now on my wish list! I send positive thoughts and prayers to your friend, I am sure your lovely card and prayer will be uplifting for her! The baby birds are so cute! xx
I love this verse and this wonderful card. Prayers are offered here for your friend.
Take care
Maureen
