Watercolour Stamp Resist with Stencils + WOYWW.

I actually wrote this whole post last week on my mobile. In editing adding images it, I lost most of so this is take two! I did another post at weekend for Two-fer, NBUS, Butterfly, Snippets Challenge etc? Tis time for WOYWW! For those not in know WOYWW is What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday? Over here at Julia's! Here’s my desk. I’m stencilling again, seemingly it’s current addiction. Last post had a stencilling on desk, too!

This is a NBUS stencil by Paper Rose Aust company, called Gumleaves Blossom, I think. This card is my favourite this year.. so far. Using oxides on a Gansai Tambi watercolour, paper from a pad bought with Sandra De of WOYWW years ago. Hope to see her this month too, in big smoke! Yay! Here’s my cards, made with similar techniques, watercolour resist of SU French Script stamp, and the stencil over top. This card is heading to Canada for my niece!

Colours just changed up, and there are two sections on stencil and used both side. Hence different leaves and blossoms.

The cards are 5 x 7” and this card I used Wow Platinum EP on it, including die cut, all die cuts are layered and are CCD.

Here’s a few Aussie photos .. 

Picnic anyone?

We've had nine days straight of rain, had 27” or 675mm this month of March.

Today was brilliant sunshine ☀️ so two loads of washing done, gardening, plumbing (clearing an outside garden drain, with long armed garden tools and a hose full on!) and planted my sweetpeas ready for our spring. Now writing up WOYWW, then God willing, have quick bite to eat for tea and heading to church for missionary presentation and prayer! God is good, I’m in a well patch for me and very VERY grateful, long may it continue. 🙏😃

Thanks so much for popping over, dear ones, especially if you pop over to say hi. I'm sorry I'm struggling to comment , do often visit folks, but on mobile comments often difficult. 

Loads of thanks and gentle prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x

Thought of the Day:

I love the Word of God. This verse has long been a favourite of mine. I have illuminated it. I also inscribed it upon my foot plaster cast in Dec 1990. For some curious reason I broke my bones in Decembers! The Lord must have thought the busiest time of year was best for rest. 😁 

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Nahum 1:7

The night I wrote this on my right foot cast was “a sleepless with pain” sort of night. I needed a stronghold in the midst of pain, a place of warm refuge. As I said this week to a dear one, God is ONLY  ever a prayer away. 

IF He seems distant.. guess who moved, we have!     Not Him.
