Well, everyone, it’s desky share time over at Julia’s Stamping Ground. My desk shows two cards in the making!
On the right is bird stamped in Memento Sand ink, from an image by Joanna Sheen, I'm trying out a technique by Beccy of "Beccy's place", which will share more fully next week, God willing.
On the left side is a wedding card, an order for a friend, also have started mine for the same couple. I will share it next week too, hopefully!
This Wedding card is finished - the greeting is printed on the computer in French script and cos this sheen soft pink card embosses well, I also heat embossed it while ink was wet.
The top layer of lovely embossed paper, is from years back in Syd store now closed. Used Spellbinder borderabilities on the bottom, and die in centre is one by Impression Obsession called layered hearts, have it because was sent by mistake so sent me right one, allowed to keep two dies.
This card was made first in May 2015. The lower two linked hearts are from very old c.2010, CB set called Hearts, die and EF set.
Next card is similar to last week's aunty Elsie's card. I gave my sister a choice of two bases, as she wasn't sure what she wanted. I made up this simpler one too. Die used is ODB lacey Squares extended to be rectangle.
(Thanks Marilyn😊 a gift a while back). Image a disc digi.

Lots of action at weekend if weather is good!
Well, that is it for today... pray you're all well!
Praying for each who visit here and their families too to be well.

PS apoligies for being a bad blogger re comments, trying to do better. Very sorry.
Thought for the day:
This verse is one that over the years has come to mean a lot to me!
And it certainly applies to today.
And it certainly applies to today.
In the world we will have tribulation, ie trials trouble,cworries...
BUT
Be of good cheer is what the LORD Jesus says!
or CHEER UP!
I have overcome the world.
This cartoon agrees!

The wedding card is so elegant, it looks like you’ve combined gold and silver, I usually use either or, but they really look great together.
ReplyDeleteLovely!

The wedding card is so elegant with the hearts and embossing. And I love the frame around the photo in your card, really adds some pop.
ReplyDeleteThe bird stamp is so cute and inked in brown then colored, very pretty!
I have memories of going with my gramps to get an orange sorbet at a drug store in his little town. Great memories!
Have a wonderful week!

Both cards are amazing, but especially the wedding one. passionfruit icecream sounds fabulous, we don't see flavours like that over here. Have a great week Helen #12
ReplyDeleteNice cards...I love all the new cutting dies and how it makes doing easier. Being from landlocked OK I am always glad to see ocean photos. As a kid growing up we lived near water most my young life then moved here...big transition. Have a great week. Vickie #26

ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, I love the embossing on the wedding card, and the entwined hearts. Those are some lovely photos of the marina and jetty, I would love to sit there and enjoy an icecream - never had passionfruit icecream but there's always a first time for everything. Have a lovely week Heather xx #21

ReplyDeleteThe wedding card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more on the second one!
Ice cream sounds marvelous!
Hope you are well!
Hi, Shaz. John and his bride are receiving some wonderful cards, that I know. And you sure are nice to your sister. I am curious what Beccy technique? So I will be waiting for that. I do pray this virus spares you guys as much as possible since Aussies have already been through so so much with all the fires. We are completely on nonessential personnel lockdown here in the greater Houston area. Restaurants with pick up and delivery can stay open, gas stations, grocery stores and the like. If it's not essential to living, close up and go home. Even the banks are closing their lobbies and doing drive-up only, as I'm glad they realize we still have a right to our money, lol. I'm heartened and thankful that most people are complying and wanting to do their part. You take good care and have a good weekend, XXO
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Shaz - and I do so love the Wedding one as well. Both very elegant, The icecream sounds yummy - I adore passion fruit.
ReplyDeleteHope you're keeping well.
So sorry I've taken ages to comment.
Hugs
