WARNING.. total photo overload today... :D
Hi there one and all.. yes another week has flown since posting! Think we all feel that time is simply scooting by! Time for another of Mo's Rudolph day, in fact it is over soon, at end of May in Canadian time! Also another WOYWW or What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - pop over to Julia's blog, please say hi! Look, see, what you learn!
My desk today.
Mid card photo, second last Romanian one, adding digi to background from paint clean up on home made gelli pad, see top post of my sidebar if interested in recipe, tried and true over generations of use. adding a digi with Romanian bible verse overlaid on it. Finished card, but not photographed.
My desk a few days back making background for stamping with Prickly Pear EEO145 nativty scene Verse is from Our Daily Bread Christmas set. My card for Mo's challenge, using my two Oxides, and some other inks as well to deepen Blue Jeans and Wilted Violet. BTW I think I've thought of an idea how to make normal DI into similar ways of layering as oxides. want more oxides but not pennies (due to expensive teeth) so thought of idea last night yet to try it. Watch this space.
Here you can see the faint outline of a CCD. This was lying on my desk, hadn't thought of it till my eye lay upon it.. Mm, I think that would work! this die is a detailed die. Put double side paper on back for easy adhesion, so it required multiple passes and shifting around. I lightly embossed it on inked sheet to get outline so as to make laying down very easy.
Plus slight embossing means it sits really well, giving sort of inlaid look..
Completed card.
Folder used is Ultimate crafts, Christmas tradition 5 x 7 folder, extended a little.

ATC + Card - by SANDRA DE (link here)
Last week, we had out 8th WOYWW, I sent out four, two were in Oz and two were in UK. This lovely set is from Sandra De with one of her lovely watercolours on the card. I love the sheen on her ATC but doesn't really show up with all its nuances like the real thing.
God bless you in Romanian. Romanian embroidery digi from Google, gold braid from Shazsilverwolf. Embossalicious swirls folder.
Kaisercraft folder inked up in two greens of Brilliance inks over gold card base. God bless you, free doggie digi on B.'s Floral Fantasy blog years ago now...
Aussie shot .. sunset taken a while back.. stunning changes this evening like you rarely see. Love talking with God at such times. He is always near but especially walking in evening.
May God bless your day .. where every you maybe, and thanks so much for popping over for a peek and chat, you really do cheer my heart!

ReplyDeleteYour inky card for RD is wonderful Just the right amount of subtle inking
ReplyDeleteThat die is fabulous. Worth every moment of diecutting it with effort!
Of course I love the Nativity scene too...
Thanks for taking part in the May Rudolph Days Challenge.
Hi Shaz, it looks like you have been a busy bee this last week, love the subtle inky Christmas card and that die is very cool, I have one that took multiple rolls through my machine, direction changes and I eventually worked out that if I place my steel plate directly under the die it worked in half the time. Have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteStunning cards Shaz and that leaf die frame is perfect on the card. Glad you like the ATC and thanks for always stopping by and leaving such lovely comments. Have a lovely week up on the beautiful North Coast.

ReplyDeleteHi Shaz,

Good morning Shaz,
ReplyDeleteAs always that card is just beautiful. I always love it when you make things with purples that's my favorite color. I can't believe the intricate designs that you do. Not be in a card maker, I can only imagine how much time if mistake.
I love your Aussie shot. When I take my walks at the lake in the summertime, I like to use that time to sing praises to God and to talk to Him. I always feel closer to Him when I'm in nature. Isn't that silly? I know he's with me all the time. Have a lovely day my sweet friend. Blessings, Betsy
What a great selection of cards Shaz and your Christmas card is very elegant and pretty and love the inking in the background too. Thank you for joining in with the May Rudolph Days Challenge. x
ReplyDeleteHi, Shaz, and God's richest blessings to you today (well, for you probably tomorrow!). Truly, it's always a joy to visit with you, dear sis, and I praise God for all the beautiful things you share with us. I love seeing all your lovely cards and especially love the inlaid die with the Christmas scene with Mary and Joseph with Jesus as the wisemen arrive. Beautifully done. And what a gorgeous scene that I can imagine your walking along in the evening just praising God for His beautiful creation...as we await the new heavens and new earth. Love you dearly! Hugs! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all your creative news. Hope you have a great week x
ReplyDeleteYou always have such a lot to look at on your desk each week, Shaz, it's such a joy to visit. Love your Aussie shot of course and what a beautiful ATC from Sandra.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity your couldn't track down the rose. Hopefully you'll be able to find something equally pretty. I have so many in the garden. I love them, although not their thorns when I have to tie them back or prune them!!
Hope you have a good week
Hugs Lisax #26

Hi Shaz, sorry to be so late but what's new - it seems I'm like the cow's tail, always behind! In fact, I think I've been neglecting you recently, so apologies for that ... it isn't intended, it's just life getting in the way of commenting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post and looking at your beautiful cards. Making use of the unintentional embossing was such a good idea and the resultant card is a beauty. As usual, I love the Aussie shot -stunning sunset. Hope you are having a lovely weekend. Elizabeth x #33
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, I'm back again with my GD hat on... some gorgeous cards and wonderful uses for those snippets, thank you for coming to play in Snippets Playground... good luck in the draw... have a wonderful week... Megan GD
