WOYWW + Distress Ink Smooch background

Another WOYWW or What is on Your Workdesk Wednesday, 
hosted again by dear Lunch Lady Jan  (Thanks, dear LLJ!)
I am p
raying on for dear Julia, we do miss you Julia. Also please say a special prayer for Jan, she lost her darling dad at the weekend.
My desk yesterday arvo. 'Tis late Wed here as running tad late, out all day busy with family who are not well. However my good news is on my desk from WOYWW7 PiF a few weeks back now. Was going to share the Iris card on right today but changed my mind, its on its way to UK...
To my second desk shot: I saw this online and wanted to try it. You randomly ink up with Distress Ink on a mat (or in my case a white piece of laminated cardstock) and then spritz it with water and stamp on it.
Inking it up background stamp - SU French Script... I let it sit for while.. then lifted it- spritzed some more on card but think should have skipped that. Had loads of ink leftover and couldn't waste that so grabbed another snippet of card and smooched up the left over. It became the central panel of card below
This card was half done on last weeks desk. Cut the smooched inky centre piece with Pinpoint Circles by Memory Box, doubled layer of them. Used a variety of flowers from stash. Border is Nellie Snellen Border die. Stamp with a favourite of mine by Stampendous:
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will shelter in the shadow of the Almighty.."
This is a very good thing to remember in times when every is not all happy and smooth sailing. God knows, and He cares, nothing catches God out.
WOOHOO!! Look-ee, see what arrived in yesterday's post my PiF - from UK, the card, wonderful envelope and superb ATC by ...
.... (EDIT - had wrong person DER!!!! it is from Andrea of Arty Andrea Link here ignore what I printed on it, what a utter duffer, I am!) thank you dear friend, I love it! its actually quite glimmery.
 
This is the ATC and card, I sent to Shaz Silverwolf, my PiF.
ATC made with snippet of brayered card + iridescent medium added to it, + cling wrapped, then dried. The lovely black trees is part of a die cut given by RosA. (will look up name, as have it somewhere). The card was another brayered piece with Ryn's bubble stamp on it + die cut alphabet too.

To the Aussie shots today- two from the garden...
This is a NZ Christmas bush in flower and the Rainbow Lorikeets (noisy things :D) and other honey eating birds love it !!

Please say hi - to let me know you've been by! 
May God bless your day wherever you maybe!

  11. Wow, what beautiful cards, ATC's and photo's! I am so loving what I am seeing with the Iris card on your desk, it looks so pretty. I love your inky technique and will have to keep that technique in my mind and try it sometime. Your card turned out so gorgeous!! I love how you sopped up the ink and made it your sentiment mat. And yes, I too, love that scripture! The ATC's are equally beautiful. And then I get to the garden pictures and they just steal the show! I am so loving that bush, so beautiful. Then there is that vivid colored bird,I swear he looks like he belongs in the tropical rain forest. lol How beautiful!!! And how talented you are to capture these photos Sharon! Hugs, Brenda

  14. Such a great inking technique. Thank you for joining our Challenge last week and hope you join us again in our new Challenge beginning today at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with an encouragement from God's Word in Hebrews 3:6 which says, "But Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast." Have a blessed week...
