Brusho Cards + Stampscapes Meets Lawn Fawn + WOYWW

Hi there everyone 😊

Yesss, it’s Wednesday, time too for WOYWW or What is on Your Workdesk Wednesday at Julia’s Stamping Ground. 
Please join us do, we're a friendly bunch!

Now to my desk(s):

First desk last Friday is trying out my early birthday pressie. Tonic glass mat, EVERYONE was right, they're great to work on! Raised rear drawer set by reshaping box mat came in. So can still open drawer now not flush with desktop. Love the white background, it shows up stray ink etc., for easy clean up. No longer use wet wipes as read they're mostly non-degradable, 100 years to break down (11 billion used per yr in UK read here). Use old paper servettes or old cloths like "olden" days! 😊 Sew up all old towels, teatowels, even singlets for beautiful soft cloths, maximising worn items, as my mother did, old ways make total sense.

Microfibre cloths have micro-plastics too, so I wonder if  good for waterways, too?

Anyhoo! Today’s desk, I’m learning how easy this mat is to clean up discarded old paper serviette easy clean! I’ve used Stampscapes to create a background scene for the ultra cute puffin set from Lawn Fawn. NOT a Valentine's card, but anniversary card, order from family, for 9th so better get cracking, but stamps only just arrived. This effort was at 2-3am this morning when was up with noisy chronic condition, it’s still not settled. Pray so by next week. When things are out whack they’re out of whack, suspect tonight will be repeat but is getting better.

Now to cards, this first one is February one and it’s off already to Japan, thought this die cut looked oriental, with chrysanthemums and dragonfly.

The orange background is card off home-made jelly plate (recipe on sidebar). Didn’t have sufficient coverage as was clean off piece so added Brushos, had lovely glimmer from glitter paint. The die is NBUS CCD, the stamp is 1990 Stampendous woodblock.

Second card is also Brushos.. background was last week’s post (Here!). Where reapplied more Brushos cos not happy.

Totally love this washy colour variation now, used PB Poppy stamp, and coloured with glimmery paints, as well as brusho colours mixed (Cobalt, Yellow, Sandstone). Used Scrapdragon A6 dies, two sets to make frame, birthday stamp is from Sweet 'n Sassy floral set.

Now to Aussie shots, first the beach this afternoon! That’s rain out to sea and, yes we’ve had some.

In for much more acc to Bureau, pray it is so, PRAYING especially over the hill to Western Slopes and Plains drought areas, + firegrounds, they look promising (see Here!)🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

 Next photos still on today’s walk..

Very pretty flowers, an Aust native hibiscus in bright yellow, also comes in mauve. It is more of very large shrub or small tree, than regular hibiscus.

Here is a PPP, Pretty Petunia Patch, do love petunias they make you smile.

Next is a peach Frangipani, with a pink crêpe myrtle, what an amazing colour combo!

Managed last week, in spite of everything, to call on everyone who called on me, I think. Actually go through withdrawals when can’t make visits! 
Love you all out there, appreciate you soooo much, many of you are on my prayer list each night, too!

May God bless your day wherever you maybe, and keep you and those you love safe, thank YOU especially if you take time to comment.

Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x
