Happy Birthday + Happy WOYWW

{Warning - Picture heavy post}

Hullo there everyone.. well, another "desky " share (or two or three) as it is Wednesday again!! and that means the great worldwide Blog-hop around desks of the world for WOYWW or What is On Your workdesk Wednesday.. pop over to our Queen of desks, at Julia's Stamping Ground! 

To my desk- several in fact:

Last week I showed this Our Daily Bread Image - "The Sea", stamped embossed and coloured in. Lots of folks asked for a closer look so took some photos as worked on one of three, have two more to make. Here am lining up the fiddly die cut. Use a paint brush to help centre the greeting, which has double sided tape on it to help it stick.

Here I am showing the greeting close up, and the die cut pops out easily with the double sided tape as you can see. However, can you see what bugs me about this particular greeting? (from a set by Impression Obsession) That "B" is all wrong, slope and shape wise. It escaped me, when buying it but it yells at me when using it. The rest are fine .. just one letter.

Here is completed card. If you scroll down to post below, you will see I added the beach sand from our beach down the road with embossing paste. The shells were ones are from all over in Oz; tiny pebbles from courtyard garden where the card photos are taken. These images are coloured with dye inks, hand made cloud mask + Caran D'Ache pencils. Corners - SB Fleur de Lis Square die turned into corners.
EDT: The Sea card won top three over a Stamping Sensations. 

 

My desk two days ago. Was was working on Thomas' card. As you can see Thomas is six!! His birthday is tomorrow. One sleepless night the LORD gave me this idea... so here am trying to work it out. Thomas loves cars, and so found images of the "Cars" by Pixar - Lightening McQueen, Sally, Luigi and Rator, and did a black very large freehand multi layered six. I used these names in the poem greeting I did inside too.

Desk today: Card done, two sea images, one for dad - our Father's day soon + another birthday.

This was my floor till about two hours go... (look Miss, I do throw out snippets)!!
See the Memory Box packet at the bottom centre, the "Happy birthday banner die" by Memory Box on Thomas's card had gone AWOL. Cleaned up every where else - in the end thought may have thrown it out .. so up-ended rubbish bag. Have small bin near desk used as work then it all ends here. Tend not to empty till full cos do use bits sometimes.  Praise God! - it was found on dining table - phew! answered prayer. I did need to tidy up though, didn't I?

Here is the finished card: Cut the banner bit off the Happy Birthday die. Cars printed from web, added glossy accents after cutting them out. Three layers of black card on the SIX, white pen for the lines after the cars were added. Banner die is from Kaisercraft Banners and Balloon set. "Thomas" with flags is a digi made up in Word. Embossing folder is Tim Holtz.

 I will comment as able ~ still a little behind, but getting there :D

Thanks so much every one for popping over for a peek as chat, and may God bless your day wherever you may be!
