hi there one and all, a very quick post today..
Firstly to my desk, as it is WOYWW or What is on your Workdesk Wednesday (pop over to Julia's and please join in, do!).
 |
| Finished a card for posting today last night and there are a few hints on my desk, which I did clear last night. Am really happy (s'cuse pun), with my Elizabeth Craft happy birthday die. I had larger one, but find this smaller one bought on 40% off sale is very handy... a snippet of brayered brusho was cut with it but not used. Other die , SB rectangle die was used not put away, requisite scissors there, plus assorted glues which live on that part of the desk. Drawer set, with top drawer open, which often is when working as use lots in it. Monkeys say hi.. and took it at 12.30pm at lunchtime today, according to clock. Bedtime now here, so wont rattle on. |
Have lots of cards to share, all sympathy ones, but not time .. here is one made in hurry about ten days ago!
 |
| Used a pre-stamped (ages ago) Penny Black stamp - hedgie baby image, quickly coloured it with my Tombows. Used Spellbinder to die cut it and chalks to colour it softly around image; also used SU discontinued greeting set for "Happy new baby". Was a baby shower and sex of new arrival not known. Lemon gingham DP embossed with CB baby folder. |
To the Aussie shots - taken over Easter break from family's verandah.. we are very very blessed, in this part of God's beautiful world! The surfers were out enjoying it too.. love the way the clouds are so pretty on skyline at this autumnal time of year.
Well that's it for me today, thanks so very much for popping over for a peek and chat, your comments mean a lot to me. So sorry, but am struggling to keep up with commenting at the moment..
but thank you none the less.
You are so very much appreciated. ❤❤❤

PS I've a really great technique I've explored below .. using dies as a mask.. with gilding flakes, or see here.
"I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the
faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me." Galations 2:20

That is such a useful CB embossing folder. I hadn't thought of embossing gingham card before. It's come out really well. You certainly live in a beautiful part of the world. Fabulous views. Sarah #11

Hi Shaz, nice to see you ! Love the hedgehog card, so sweet. I agree, a sentiment in different sizes is always useful, sometimes they are just too big and swamp the card. Glorious scenery, as always. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #15 XxX
ReplyDeleteShaz, it's just lovely to see you desking, please don't worry about not returning comments, we understand :-). That card is so sweet, I love it..sorry to hear you've had so many sympathy cards to do though. The views of the beach are glorious, I have to say that the weather here really has been as good. Blue skies and sunshine, we've been on the beach a lot too!

First of all Shaz, never ever aplogise for lack of visits or comments, I know only too well what a struggle it is at times and it's just lovely when you cane make it over to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's an adorable new baby card with the hedgie hanging in his hammock among the blossoms and lovely for our themes at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More, thank you so much for joining in.
And of course I love your photos of the waves, my surfing boy Eliot will be here tomorrow so I will be showing him waves across the ocean.

Hi Shaz, hope you are feeling well, I've been offline for a bit just catching up with everyone now. I love your sweet little hedgie card, so cute. I was over at the playground earlier and had a laugh... if you win the prize part of it will be flying back here. I picked up the butterfly stamps from Spotlight. Hope you have a great weekend... Megan
ReplyDeleteIndeed you are so blessed with those views. But then, so are we, as you share them with us and they cheer us no end dear Shaz.
ReplyDeleteYour card for the new baby is so cute, those hedgies make wonderful cards don't they.
Hope all is well with you and the family.

You can't go wrong with a PB hedgie hog! I love how the quills stick out of his receiving blanket.

ReplyDeleteThis is a sweet baby card with such a cute image. I love the embossing folder. Your scenic pictures are always so soothing. What a view to look out on every day.
ReplyDeleteOh my that is just the sweetest little image, such a great embossing folder to go with it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Easter day you had, love all that Blue!!
Your card is so adorable and sweet! I love the beautiful pictures, it looks like your fall weather is pretty nice right now. Yes, you are indeed blessed to live where you do. But I feel like God's world is so beautiful everywhere and that we are all blessed. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet Shaz, what a darling baby card! I just love the sweet embossing folder too for such great texture. And wow, you live in one of the more beautiful places God created, and I just love seeing the ocean. It's a joy when I drive along one of the roads that I can see the Atlantic Ocean, and its beauty is amazing! And heaven will be even more beautiful, and we shall see Him...and live forever with Him in heaven! Praise God! Much love! xoxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love the cute baby hedgie. Beautiful beach pics.
ReplyDeletePictures by Thomas and Emily are brilliant. You have the right to be biased. The pierced die I used on my card is great as it is a full 12" in length. hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteFab creation, thanks for joining Stamping Sensations, good luck.
