SB Divine Eloquence, MFT Upsy Daisy + WOYWW308

{Warning -VERY  photo heavy post}

  Well, two weeks in a row, I am joining over with WOYWW, it must be a record for this year :D
Yes, it is Wednesday and over to some desks of the world for WOYWW What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday … so head over to Julia’s - peek, learn and share - do!
My desk, the other night .. was making some daisies with Upsy Daisy die by MFT .. deciding to venture into the world of flowers but going for the flatter ones as they as are easy to post. Rounded these a little in the assembling - with  the rounding tool (centre), on the grey foam mat on the right, bought when started 3D card these tools.
To Shape Daisies etc:  Gently twirl the Daisy petals and leaves, using your fingers and the shaping tool (some use bone folder, I prefer tool), this help turn them under to shape them and also pop the layers up little with silicone glue as with 3D image making. I also rounded the centre a little too, before popping it up on little silicone glue (Click and see here one I use).
Used also the 1 1/4" EK Success punch on some DP Black and white, bought many years ago now.
Desk this morning and pretty much now. Just noticed my wee WOYWW board is upside down, and both monkeys are waving hi! Using the fav. cardstock of the moment, Hammer cardstock on this card with a digi birthday greeting, formatted in Word doc. Flowers more shaped also have leaves  cut but not on them; sorting out the layout, which is a CAS from Pinterest - here
please note, not an ATC in site for 4 weeks from now for WOYWW312
I do have a card to share with you, made for a very dear aunt's birthday, yesterday. Used SB Divine Eloquence. Used disc. DP roses (as aunt is a rose fan too) inked up softly the cardstock while still in die, and MB Lavish branch on the side, with pearls for added pretty!
Layered up in Portrait style so it will stand nicely for later if needed. See my Pinterest Divine Eloquence for this card and others.
Verse from Luke 10:27 - had to mask reference so it would fit inside smallest die, embossed in gold Stamp says is 1994 Annette Allen Watkins on side.
The greatest commandment the LORD Jesus says is to Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart... and thy neighbour as thyself.. a beautiful reminder. Over at Our Daily Bread the challenge is to use scripture so will be entering this card for it.
 Now images from Oz today is our cute Rainbow lorikeets at the bird bath.. a few says ago early one morning.. they do have fun there was two of them one was watching at the top of the fence while this one doused himself, several times over....

 
 
Some snippets used here so off to the Snippets Playground, as well as Word Art Wednesday.. Yay!
 
Every blessing of the LORD everyone where ever you maybe and thanks so much for popping over for peek and chat.. 
Mm, am way behind these days so will call back eventually!

  3. Oh, I LOVE watching birds having a grand old time splashing around...it doesn't matter if they're brightly coloured like your lorikeets, or just plain dun brown sparrows, it's the joy with which they do it!! It makes me laugh every time!
    On a craft related note, I really like that black and white floral paper...very smart indeed :-)

  6. Gosh the wildlife in your part of the world is so colourful. I can't even imagine seeing a bird like that in our birdbath. Lovely card, but looking forward to seeing the flowers when you get done. Not an ATC in sight, but are they for that?

    Speaking of, making extras for swapping? Wanna swap one with me? Drop me a comment and I'll send you my address (or do the envelope to Julia thing, either way)

    Happy day!

  11. Those little daisies are just the cutest little things. But I especially love the card that you made. So very pretty. I have never seen a lorikeet in its natural environment. It's amazing to me that you can watch them playing at your birdbath. Have a wonderful day Shaz.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  21. Hi Shaz,
    Lovely card, as usual :)
    Those lorikeets enjoy eating our camellias!
    Thanks for reminding about that lost stamp (which is definitely lost, possibly thrown out!).
    I have a couple of uncoloured images so I guess I can just scan them and print out when required.

  28. Beautiful, gorgeous card.
    Thanks for the warning, its a bit like the magnetic platform. Lets hope the company places a warning. The magnets should have a warning for attacking each other, they are so strong that they fly out of your hands to attach themselves together
    luv

  29. Couldn't get on last week and am late this week (holiday).
    Lovely card for auntie and the bird is so colourful - you are lucky.
    I adore daisies, those and poppies are my favourite flowers so I think I might just have to buy that die myself. Your flowers look gorgeous.
    Hugs, Neet 66 xx
