WOYWW + Snippety cards + Colouring Embossed Vellum

 Hullo everyone... this is desk time of the week, Wednesday  .. over at Julia's for WOYWW or What is On Your workdesk Wednesday

Okay so a good start has been made on my friend's 80th card over on the left, I have finished the roses 3D and cut out the mount I am going to put it on, but not attached that is why it is not quite straight, also working out what colour cardstock to use with it. It will need a digi birthday greeting too.
On the right is an effort of colouring with pro-markers embossed vellum (on the back for subtle tones). The jury is still out, but think will make them up into cards even though I know I should have used the thicker vellum to dry emboss it - so as to not have the perforations through vellum, in number of pressure spots.

This is the beginning of one of the twelve sympathy cards made for the one family, a while back .. have embossed a gold piece of card with CB clockworks folder and colouring with Stazon and other inks after a little distressing.

Here is the finished card , the sentiment is from ODB the clock stamp not quite sure whose as is an old one bought second hand, un-named. A snippet of the coal black under the clockworks, plus gold piece was, added a couple of cogs, colour changed to match.

Stamp is from ODB and the MFT Upsy Daisy die, and more snippets of  DP.

This is the twelve in all, I have posted some of them.. others shown here, here, here and here - two each link. .. or just scroll down below the posts. I will share the other four in the next week.

Here is the photo from downunder, it is a sucking insect on our hibiscus. I really should have killed it but took a photo instead :D it is a jewel bug .. see details here. It is another part of God's beautiful creatures we have here .. my sister is travelling overseas and commented on how few birds, animals and insects they see over there compared to here.. we really are blessed.
