WOYWW Ink Resist, Distress Inks water colours, et al

Hi there one and all. 

Mm, where did January go? Can’t believe it is the last day!!! And it is also Wednesday... so, time for WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday ... Pop over to Julia’s Stamping Ground! Check out desks all over the world! Warning though, it’s addictive! 
To my desk, or actually desk at my sister's home of last week! why I wasn't here in blogland.

Enjoying the beach, and we were colouring too with my sister’s Prismas... the crystal clear water was superb and so time was enjoyed, just chilling. No we haven’t finished yet, but I'm going to make mine up into cards...

Today's desk now has lots of cards, just finished the last of the ten cards I was making as a wedding gift. No, not made wedding card yet, need an engagement card too for another couple. Not due til third week in Feb.

I’ve had been trying out some new techniques which I’d saved in my “Must Try This!” page on Pinterest.  Mine, however invariably dont look like a CASE, at all.

 This one I will keep for me, its with different butterfly a magasine freebie, one below has Kaisercraftt butterfly, script stamp is SU French Script. Stamplorations set for greetings.

Didn't have right stamps or Distress Inks colours, however I was told bride likes blues, soft green and neutral shades so used those.
Loll's smooshing (see here) is nothing like mine. I couldn't get same intensity. 

Wondered if she used DI re-inkers?

Mine just "mooshed" not smooshed, very non-descript, not a true smoosh!!

 Very happy with these two, will keep top one, they were cased from Laurie's blog (see here) Again, not like but okay.. Used fern from discontinued set by Elusive images (pre-Chocolate Baroque). Used colours on Laurie's previous post but DI. Put down layer sponged layer of Antique Linen for background for ease of blending colours. Added Broken China and Cracked Pistachio in areas then blended with Antique Line again.

Thought I’d share this, about a die storage book, found on eBay, to hold the CCD or cheap China dies. Mine came quite quickly, in twelve days. (Link here to book, you can chose what size in pages you want, I went for three so some are large some are small sleeves for die.

Now to my Aussie shots..

 Yes, it was simply lovely going to swim at this spot, and not there weren’t lots of people there! Very very spoilt...
Very blessed of God to live in such a beautiful part of His creation. Very grateful!
Took few bird photos too. NOTE: all from inside house, so maximum zoom through windows. This is large dead tree in front centre. Two crested pigeons sitting in it.

These are two Masked Lapwing or hooded plovers, they seemed to be on  guard over the two new native banksia planted that morning by local dune patrol (family member + neighbour :D)

These are two Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos, in same dead tree.
This is why is important to keep a dead tree roosting spot for all varieties.

I am very sorry, rather time poor at moment and trying to catch up on commenting.

 Thanks so much for popping over for a peek, especially if you stay for a chat!

May God bless your day wherever you maybe!
