For WOYWW, as tis Wednesday, pop over to Julia’s Stamping Ground! my desk(s)!
 |
| Actually few desks. This morning - front left card almost done but covered up for a reason. Requisite scissors, and assorted tools, to the right are snippets of black ice technique to make into a male card. Monkeys say hi today, too! Will explain now other technique .. brushos on scrap! |
 |
| Pays to be thrifty, what great watercolour card from a frozen meal box! Left piece used Olive green, Sandstone, Yellow, Sea Green, used slightly different colours, more blue and green on piece laying face down, so you can see back of card. The really light coating on the card stock means it really works well die cutting and holding it's shape. |
 |
| Added spatters with gold and pearl watercolour - by Finetec. |
 |
| Finished card - used scrap of white for top, only new bit was base. Wonky rectangles on white card. Stars are set of CCD's from eBay. Saw idea by Sharlene, not a blogger, but a very good friend, a great cardmaker. Changed it of course! Below is layered greeting, slightly offset with gold. See shimmer in this card.. real texture!  |
 |
| Here a watercolour - Penny Black "Trailing Vine" gold embossed - used DI to colour. |
Also stamped Hero arts Linen background, "Just for you" a Sue Wilson die.. my only set. Love the gold embossing! Slightly offset greeting again to give it more pop!
Was sure I'd blogged a
card with this inked! Image was for pink, black and white challenge ages ago on OSA, but
maybe made but not shared! Inked with duster, or maybe sponge, then
stamped, found in snippets drawer - added bits from stash. Stamps are all discontinued - by Artneko.
Aussie shot when out on beach walk.. not time last two days .. walked but at shops not quite same view.
Thanks so much for popping over for a peek, especially if you stay for a chat!
May God bless your day wherever you maybe!

What a lovely array of cards, my favourite is the stars with the fab bold green background and simplicity of the white die cut stars x

A beautiful display of cards Shaz and absolutely adore the floral one with the offset sentiment, so very effective. And as always so enjoy seeing your wonderful Ocean photos.
Lovely to see you at the challenges, my thanks for joining us at Penny Black and More, Stamping Sensations and Allsorts.

Hi Shaz, glad to see you! Love the cards, and what you did with the Brushos. Great techniques. The oriental one really caught my eye. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #8 XxX
Hi Shaz. More gorgeous cards again this week. You never fail do you? Hope you have a lovely week.
Hugs,

Wow, I love that in-your-face green background and didn't make for a fantastic card. It's amazing the way you've caught the shimmer and sparkle, that's so hard to capture in a photo!

I LOVE that green background and the resulting card. As always, love the shot of the beach.. Helen #2
That recycled box for the card turned out amazing. I love the green. You are so talented my friend.
A beautiful Aussie shot too. I hope you are feeling well my dear sister. You are such a blessing to me and always have a word of encouragement just when I need it most.
Many Blessings,
Betsy
Lovely cards with your stash!! The Brusho's background looks amazing and love all the sparkling!
hugs
Well I couldn’t choose between the cards for a favourite, and I love the twinkle on the brushos background..very clever. Especially as its snippets...it feels like a double achievement doesn’t it! There aren’t many techniques that you dont use, I love that about visiting here, always so much to see! Please dont be too busy for a quiet walk, it’s good for my well being too, to see your lovely views!
well you have been busy creating some fabulous cards! the pink/black/white is perfect for our challenge; thank you so much for playing along at the penny black and more challenge.

Wow what great cards, love the green one. I like the odd bit of re-cycling myself (Well, if you use up all the stock you have there'd be nothing to stroke and droolover). Great beach shot! You sound pretty busy, Happy Wednesday Cindy #20
Hi Shaz, a beautiful collection of cards, the use of the inside of the box has given me an idea to try out later, maybe over the weekend. Love the inverse star panel it looks great. Congrats on getting the Aussie pic complete with in focus seagull... Have a wonderful week... Megan
That green background is marvellous, the stars are a great focal. What a beautiful photograph of the beach, how i'd love to be there right now.
Thank you for sharing WOYWW.
Wishing you a creative day Tracey #13
Lovely array of cards as always Shaz, and what a lot of glimmer - it really shows up too on here. Must try this new technique of yours - still trying to get a good result with the black ice one but not being very successful. Not sure what I am doing wrong - might end up emailing for advice.
Hugs from me - and God Bless

Beautiful cards there Shaz. Lovely colours - brushos really are fun, aren't they! Great Aussie shot, too. How precious it is to be able to walk along by the sea.
Will get round to your emails, honest - it's just been a bit crazy here. Thanks for them.
Take care. God bless.

Stunning cards Shaz - love your background on the scrap cardboard - I have collected quite of bit of it to use for layering images and layers - I must have a play with it with my brushos! thanks for the inspiration.

Wow Shaz, that is an amazing array of projects this week. It is surprising sometimes how a cheap substrate can produce such fabulous results. Happy belated WOYWW. Saarh #17

Good morning, Shaz! Such lovely work with the Brushos. I need to play with mine more. I've had them out of the box twice since ordering last fall. Sad? yep, very. Did you primer your frozen food box first? Doesn't appear so but wanted to ask anyway. Love the colors you worked with and such lovely background for the negative space of the star. Thanks for the pop 'round last week. You thought you were late? LOL Here I am just getting here before we start again tomorrow hehe Creative Blessings! Kelly #27
WOW love the way you used the stars
Cheers
Dr Sonia
