Hi there everyone! Sooo sorry I’ve been soo silent, I am quite sure there are less hours in a day or maybe it me going slower!? 😉 I’m popping into share my Two-fer, Snippets and NBUS with Simon Says “hugs”! Okay, multi-tasking is the go!
I wanted to use gilding flakes with this stencil but flitter glue is not easy to remove so didn’t want to use it. (Have made masks or stencils before with dies and thrown them away- see here). Anyway decided to try Cosmic gold stencil paste and then lay gold leaf loosely over it. When dried overnight brushed it off, and burnished it with my finger as stray bits stick even with brush.
My offering for TWO-FER “Leaves” challenge (see here), .. t’other card, is similar to one one done on linked post above, in different colours. Used DI Antique Linen at top, under the SU French script, white heat embossed background.. rest were Gansai Tambai watercolour in blues. Used rough hot pressed water colour pad, which you’re not supposed to use with stamping.
Now to the Aussie photos, here are some kookaburras..
Thanks so much for popping over, dear ones, especially if you pop over to say hi. I'm sorry, still struggling to comment , do often visit folks, but on mobile comments often difficult. This post is done in mobile device too.
Loads of thanks and gentle prayer hugs.
Especially praying the Lord will watch over all of you, and keep you and those you love safe,
Shaz in Oz.x
Thought of the Day:
blessed is the man that trusteth in Him” Psalm 34:8
If we but look - we can see the finger of God in the beautiful handiwork of creation, in a bird, a flower or even clouds (which I love), they can all hold you breathless, at their beauty.
How can one look at the rapidly changing sky, see the power and beauty of the ocean or the trees and doubt there is a hand that created it??
And this wonderful Creator God wants us to have a personal relationship with Him, through His Son Jesus’ death on the cross of Calvary for my sin, yours and the sins of the whole world.
This gift of salvation is not ours till we take it by faith, believing.
What treasure we then have! A home in heaven .. by faith in Jesus.
Indeed “TASTE and see that the LORD is good, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”

The kookaburra photos are lovely dear Shaz, along with the beautiful cards you've created to be shared.
Dennis and I often talk about the fact that looking around you, at how everything works together perfectly, how can anyone ever doubt the love of a perfect Creator? Just look at our fingers, how they work and move with just a mere thought in our mind. And the mountains and oceans, trees and flowers.
I hope and pray that you are doing better and better each day.
Love and Blessings,
Betsy
So many wows! in this post!
Love your cards, especially the stencilling with the gold leaf.
Fabulous photos, loving the Cosmos.
Thanks for sharing with us at We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge.
Great use of the packaging, would never have guessed it is underneath all that
lovely stenciling. Guesting over on Miss Di's blog. Hugs Mrs A.

Fabulous cards Shaz, and love seeing that you use freezer foods packaging to watercolour, I have to try! Love the gold stencil paste for the leaves! Fab Aussie shots as always and love your new pink Cosmos!
Hugs!
... Forgot to say thank you for sharing with us at We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge :)
Wonderful cards Shaz, absolutely love the different looks you've achieved with that stencil! (Still haven't used mine!) The stamping on the watercolour paper adds lots of interest, and I agree, sometimes rules don't need to be followed, hope you are well, Cathy x
All the cards you posted are beautiful, Shaz! Your design for your Twofer is brilliantly executed on both cards! Love the Oz photos, too! Thank you for playing in TCC #37! Hugs, Darnell xoxo
Your comment about hours in the day made me smile Shaz as often think the very same and like you concluded it's just me getting slower. There again you could turn it on it's head and say we just savour things more so therefore it must take longer?
Beautiful creation as always, the gold embossing looks so lush and rich, many thanks for sharing and joining us at We Love Chocolate Baroque 'Springtime' theme this month.

What beautiful cards Shaz - I love how you created a 'new' technique with the gold leaves - they are stunning! The backgrounds are all stunning too - love the one with the script on it.
I know what you mean when you feel the days are going much faster than you :)
Stay safe
Blessings

Incredible cards, Shaz. The colors alone, on each card, are really eyecatching. That stencil is fabulous, too. Your use of gold stencil paste with the gold leaf was a very clever idea! Such pretty cards. Thank you for joining us at The Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. Bev
Love what you have done with the stencil and the gold , gorgeous look to it, they are really all just beautiful!
So neat to see birds I haven't seen before.
Nice cards you made. I like the kookaburra birds on your tree. I printed a bunch of photos on my canon pro-10 printer when I was printing out a few photos the last weekend. I put them into cards I get from Photographer's Edge. Photos are into a frame. You can actually put the card into a 5x7 inch frame and hang on wall as well. I put stickers on some of them to go with the photo. When I was looking where the hotel will be at in Anchorage, Alaska, (where we'll be staying at when at AK) I saw a park that's close. It's by a bay. It would be fun to see that while there. I like the photos of the ocean close to you. Most likely warmer than Oregon!!! Thanks for the scripture. So true that God loves us. Have a good weekend!
Perfect recycling there and that inky background is just beautiful. The script showing through your second leaf is an inspired idea and gives a very special look. I must try that. Alison, Twofer GD
Your cards are stunning mon amie! My brushos always look like mud, I am definetly doing something wrong! I love your idea of using stencil paste with foil, superb! As usual, your shots of your beautiful country are gorgeous. I would love to visit you! Yes, we are getting older and slower, time to scale back on our agendas!
Ah! The golden leaves look amazing against the bluish sky, soo pretty! I also like the colors of the other two cards with the white script detailing.
So many gorgeous creations! Thank you for joining us at We love Chocolate Baroque
Beautiful 🤩
Really clever to use the packaging and I adore the gold on your snippets card - so rich with the blue.
Hugs
