Just quickly popping in for another WOYWW for Workdesk Wednesday over at Julia's place. Be warned... photo overload ... catch up on cards made this week.
If you want non Christmas cards ... these Lawn Fawn here are sooo cute!
 |
| Desk 1: Alcohol inks on gloss card being attached to die cuts in silver. |
Desk 2 - Brusho backgrounds. Two on watercolour card.. tried the other one on yoghurt packet cardstock. It is full of texture, probably from glue .. worked a treat. I've been trialing water colour techniques on various cardstock, for cereal box cardstock with Tombows see the GD Snippets post here
 | ||
| Desk 3: Back here in 2013 I made these anti static pads, some of them need refilling. I do have an embossing buddy, but much prefer these. NOW - to photo overload. Wont add too much, details at end of items used. |
Yoghurt box background ... is this one.
As you can see there are assorted background: brusho + alcohol ink mainly.
Digis mostly on verses, first card does use Penny Black Star of wonder set. Simple star is disc. Kasiercraft, fancy scroll star is CCD.

Now to the Aussie shots... first one from the courtyard garden.
Spathiphyllum or Peace Lily is really putting out big flowers this year. The orchid which has been flowering for 6 months is still going along happily, inside the plant.
And your beach fix everyone, to be 30c tomorrow, was 28c today, so, yes! summer is here.

You have a very productive work space TFS. xx Jan (20)
your cards are beautiful! The peace lily is too, I wish mine would bloom like that,, I have saw an orchid growing along with one before,, that's amazing!
Hi Shaz. Those cards are just beautiful - well done! Great fun has been had with all those backgrounds!! The peace lily is beautiful - and aren't orchids just amazing? My daughter has one which decorated the church for John's celebration service - 15months now, and it is still flowering - keeps throwing up new flower stems too. I think it's about 30degrees here too - but that's farenheit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care. God bless.

Those are absolutely lovely cards you've made! Makes me want to use my brusho's more! Happy WOYWW xo Cheetarah #26
You really do make some gorgeous cards - my favourites are the ones with the deep blue backgrounds, they're the ones I'd buy in a shop! Beautiful pics of your area again and I'm not jealous of 30C.....much! :-D There's a storm barrelling in across the Atlantic so I'm glad Julia has got back home safe and sound. We were lucky with the weather, even getting onto the beach for a stroll.
Hugs LLJ 10 xxxx
I love those beautiful blue backgrounds you created for your cards! So pretty!

Stunning cards and backgrounds Shaz..loz
Another lovely collection of Christmas creation Shaz, I rather like the blues and somehow the colours works really well with the nativity scenes. Many thanks for joining us again at Penny Black and More challenge.
Thanks also for your kind words the other day, much appreciated.

Absolutely stunning cards Shaz and my favorite colors too. I love the verses on each card too. I hope you are feeling well my sweet sister. I'm doing so much better and I know it is from the prayers of all the saints around me. Praise be to God!
Thank you for the beautiful Aussie shot. It's frigid here. I just ran a few errands and it was 18F outside. Too cold for me. :-)
Many Blessings,
Betsy
Beautiful blue and white themed cards with a little sparkle and shine. You've been busy, I'm still lacking about 20 cards. It seems I need more and more each year...
Stunning selection of Gorgeous Christmas cards... simply beautiful.... May #3
Wow a brilliant set of cards, great dies and some fabulous backgrounds too. I think my favourite is the silver star, but I really do like the crib in gold one.

Beautiful cards Shaz, you really know how to use a background gal. Couldn’t choose between them! I tend to just make a mess with Brushos, so am in total awe, again. Hope you’re taking the time to enjoy the weather and your wonderful surrounds. Xx
Hi Shaz, you have certainly produced some stunning cards! I love the silver star card. Have a lovely week Heather #22
Your backgrounds look fantastic on all of these, neat embossed backgrounds also!! Love the ornament background :)
I have 3 peace lily plants and they are all blooming :)
Love those backgrounds. And that peace lily is lovely. Mine only had one bloom this year.

great brusho backgrounds for your Christmas cards. Great colours, I love the blues. Thanks for joining us at CAS Watercolour :)
Great collection of Christmas cards Shaz! I especially love the blue Brusho backgrounds! They're so beautiful, and the white die-cuts and sentiment pop. Hideko
Hi Shaz, a gorgeous collection of cards, love the pretty backgrounds you created and love the little nativity scene in white against the purple/blue background.... have a wonderful weekend.... Megan
Both your alcohol ink and watercoloured brushos backgrounds are gorgeous, Shaz! Especially love the vibrancy of the card you've entered for CAS Watercolour. Those blues are gorgeous and look amazing with the white heat embossed wreath with sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!!
Shaz, I love your brusho and slcohol ink backgrounds with the manger scene for your Christmas cards! They are gorgeous!
Thanks for the look at your lovely cards! And for the beach fix! I needed that as it is 9 degrees F wind chill here this morning! #36
Wow, what a wonderful set of cards. Beautiful photo of your peace Lilly, totally jealous that yours can live outdoors. I have a variegated peace lilly in my lounge which I love x
What stunning background and cards Sharon! They are all so beautiful, I love that you made your own embossing buddies, clever. After the holidays I need to play with my brusho's and alcohol inks, haven't played with them in forever. Hugs, Brenda
WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O) xxx
Wowsers! What an array of simply stunning cards. Loving your experiments with the different paper sources, and the box cardboard really yielded a pretty texture. Love the blue shades you've achieved. Loved all of these, but my favorite will have to be the lovely nativity scene. The brusho background really sets off this pretty die image. Well done! TFS & Hugs
What a stunning collection of holiday cards.
Thanks for joining us at Crafty Hazel Nut's Christmas Extra challenge

Those backgrounds are so pretty, and all were made into lovely cards. That color combo just looks great with so many shapes and scenes. In the US, we can have a peace lily for a houseplant. I heard they flower forever (practically) and have been considering one if they are okay around cats. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous set of cards.
Thank you for sharing one at Penny Black and more;-))m
Lovely cards indeed and I have one of those stars to grace my home. Thanks so much for your card, as yet I haven't read the letter but it's inside the card. That's for when the work is done....awaiting instructions for two long poems which have to be written and framed for Christmas. Life is busy, beyond busy really and I am telling myself...well, this won't happen next year dv....and it usually does...augh.....there's no hope for me.
Take care - we have a VERY cold night in store...we've had a little snow...and the Manchester folks are probably wallowing in it.
What a lovely array of Christmas cards, Shaz! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
Thanks for linking up to the glitter challenge on The House That Stamps Built! I hope you'll join us again sometime. We have a new challenge each Wednesday and a chance to win a $25 gift card once a month!
Wow, you've been one busy lady! These cards are all so beautiful! The backgrounds are really fabulous and they make a big statement without overwhelming the focal points! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
What a beautiful batch of cards - in blue and white, my favourite colour combination!! Thanks for joining us at CAS Watercolour!
Thanks for joining Penny Black & More @ Allsorts challenge with this great entry, good luck.
Happy crafting
