Hi everyone, well it's about time I did WOYWW (or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday) again! Last week I had visitors and next week is busy too with medical appointments so won't be able to join again. Now to my desks! A few..
Desk 1: Inking up a real snippet! (So off to the Pixie's Snippetty Playground ) Back of a cereal packet which is a kraft colour. I inked with my ombre ink pad so had several colours and ink blenders. Then to add texture and depth I bounced it ink pad side down across. This is step 1.
Desk 2a and b: This is step 2 on the snippet. I smooched some brilliance inks over the top as highlights. Really happy with result and embossed the card also.
Desk 3 is today's about eight hours ago .. as card is now done and its nightime as I write this. On right is Ombre pad not put away, and new arrival of Tim Holtz Rock Candy. A nice big jar about 3 times bigger than previous one. So good to have came via dear Marilyn in Florida 😊. There are the card ready to be assembled and discarded print outs underneath it.. also various tools on desk, pricking tool one pair of scissors, 3 glues, 2 tape etc.
Here is the card assembled. Its for my BiL to give to his brother. As birthday presents, I give my family card vouchers, then they can order their cards that they want. They enjoy it, and so do I! Used a set of folders bought with Marilyn at Monday Tuesday store in Sept. Two folders for $3.99!! How amazing is that? I've used both folders on this card and really really love them. Inked over the rectangle navy piece.
Now went for walk the other night.. as do most nights. These were taken on the way home.
The radiating lights on last two images were from the lights of two fishing trawlers on the horizon looks really great with the waxing moon on left too, doesn't it? God's amazing creation!
Thank you so much everyone for popping over for a peek and a chat. May God bless your day wherever you may be.
Hugs, Shaz in Oz. X
A thought to close with:
Don't you love that thought that the LORD is thy Strength and Shield ! Strength keeps you going and a Shield protects you from all ill. May we indeed put our faith in the One Who never fails! A Shield really needed with so many lives taken foolishly and much suffering in flooding from cyclone in Mozambique, in central US too. May the Lord help all who suffer much loss.

Good morning Shaz, what a wonderful card you have made. I love the idea of giving gift vouchers for cards to family members as gifts. I can’t do cards, but maybe I could think of some other things I could give vouchers for.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are stunning as always. You live in such a beautiful place in the world. And I love the Bible verse you’ve chosen. It is true, we all need a shield these days. I, too, am praying for all of those around the world who are suffering. There seems to be so much of it right now. Wishing you a lovely day full of peace and God‘s blessings.
Blessings always my sweet sister, Betsy
That is a gorgeous card, someone is going to love that. Great photos too. Wishing you a happy week and a lovely woyww, Angela x11x
ReplyDeleteNice to see the steps as well as the final card this week Shaz. The embossed/inked panels are great behind the main topper. I am sure the card will go down very well with both parties. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
ReplyDeleteReally great card Shaz! I loved reading how you made it - and such a great idea giving card vouchers to folk. That's a win-win situation, Beautiful photos of where you live as well.

Hi Shaz, lovely card, and beautiful photos. That's a great idea to give gift vouchers for cards. Have a lovely week Heather x #32
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, love the old cereal box done up on the card with the ink and embossing folder, stunning pics of Aus too. Wishing you good luck with your medical appointments, I hope all is well... have a wonderful weekend... Megan
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to give vouchers to make cards for others, you came up with a great card :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures you took on the way home, so pretty!
You can make such beautiful cards from cereal boxes. I especially love the photos of the sunset. So relaxing. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWonderful birthday card for a man. I like the design and colors you've used.
ReplyDeleteThank you for wonderful photos.
Have a great day! Hugs, Sonja
You’re a whizz with a cereal packet Miss Shaz! Love how it came out, and the touch of Brilliance is well, brilliant! What a great idea the birthday card vouchers are, seriously brilliant! I read with interest that you have a small arsenal of glues and stickies out to make one card, I think we are all over qualified as sticky testers!
ReplyDeleteIt's so important to remember where our creativity first sprung from and i'm a great believer in getting back to basics using up these bits and bobs. Recently i've been using up cereal boxes in a few upcoming projects.Your cards fab Shaz. Really beautiful photography, a calming breath. It must be so wonderful to walk amongst such beauty of an evening.
ReplyDeleteSending Hugs your wishing you well next week with those medical appointments next week.
Happy WoywW & God Bless Tracey #7 xx
What a cute little card and stunning sunset shots! Hope the appointment goes well next week. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and thanks for visiting earlier! zsuzsa #22
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz
ReplyDeleteLove that card and loved seeing your desks. Good to see someone with a room big enough to have several areas to work in.
I did enjoy the pictures from your walk - such serene calm scenes - almost made my back pain disappear.
God Bless
