Hullo everyone - well have been MIA for more time than ever before but there has been too much going on to have time.. We went away, then I was sick, then took time to catch up! but without any more ado..
.. here tis WOYWW or What is On Your workdesk Wednesday.. pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground!
This was gift card kit from bit over a week ago actually from Ginny of Maxam made and also yesterday not in image as had posted these images on FB, Mrs A had sent me four piece of Stampbord to try out like size of domino.. thanks so much to Ginny and to Mrs A, and Mrs A. watch this space :D |
The designer paper is the back of the envelope that the set came in, as Ginny has pretty envelopes, I coloured the butterfly with ink here and also the gem with gold ink. |
I coloured the ribbon with ink used and 'cos had inky fingers two small bits of stray ink on WAW Bible verse when taping it on and was too late then :( |
The photo from Oz today is of our local creek, taken late afternoon. the large tree on right is gum and scraggy bits at front are banksia. See flower below:
I will comment as able may take til next week but will get there :D
Thanks so much every one for popping over for a peek as chat, may God bless your day wherever you may be!

They are fab cards that you have made. Love your idea of using the packaging for your base on your butterfly card. Butterfly looks lovely and I also like your idea of cutting the die (card) up to make those corners on the roses. Thankyou for fluttering by #17. hugs Mrs A. (butterfly challenge).

Your friend is going to love you and love the gift of these cards! Each one is so unique and so beautiful! Thanks for creating with us this week a t ODBD!
ReplyDeleteI'm late!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you again, hope you are fully recovered. Really enjoyed the later posts too, your Christmas cards are ace...I really like how you've used the Pass it On cards..they're like a Wordle!
Don't get me started on the chocolate thing...I'm back on the wagon and it's one of the things I'm missing! I had a gift pack from Ginny too, some time ago, wonderful quality of card, took me ages to bring it to use! Your baby plovers are just too cute, I bet the green of your gorgeous garden is perfect for such a young family. Don't forget the safety gear each time you step out - made me laugh!
Lovely to see you back and hope that you stay well now. That's a lovely kit you received and the cards you made are beautiful. The creek looks like a pretty place to visit. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #53
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you made from that kit, Shaz! Just stunning! Great use of snippets and linking up with challenges, too! Happy Belated WOYWW! Thank you for coming by to visit me! I love that you are carrying on with using up that NBUS!! Hugs, Darnell
