Thank you for taking time to visit, and I hope I am even a tiny bit helpful as I have been helped and blessed by so many others. I have been doing Calligraphy since teens, and card making for many years as well. In 1990 I delighted in the joys of stamping with ink and embossing after a trip to Cairns, Qld. In 2009 I discovered the brayer, 2010 the Cuttlebug, also have now taking to reading up on crafting blogs and lo! Here I am, on one of my own.

I live on the coast of eastern Australia. I am a Christian. I trusted in the LORD down here at the beach, amazingly it is not far from where I now live. It was over 50 years ago, after a Beach Mission Service at the age of 12 years

Layering Dies - Memory Box Glowing Candles die

Time again for a another mid month post over at Bizzy Bec's blog. Last one of the year, wow where did it go?
Ages ago now I bought this die - Memory Box Glowing Candles (available
Bec has it at a really great price over here!). I had made a card with it, but saw a totally different one (seen first in different colours over here, on Loll's blog). And in same colours as mine- here, this one has a video if you want to watch it!
 
I had these three cut on last week of October on my desk. I layered double sided tape on the back of card first.

Then you remove the tape layers with pricking tool, remove the pieces you want in other colours on the top gold layer first.
Added red to candles centres and centre of the flame which is also red.
 Removed the gold leaves, adding the green on top.
Cut the top two colours of red and gold stems off the edges.
Under the layers, adhere the green so it shows green stems.
"Joy to the world, the LORD has come!" is from Our Daily Bread "Joy to the world" stamp set (ODB stamps are available from Bizzy Bec's upon request). Gold embossed, and added die cut centre from SB die, inked lightly around edge in gold.
Spellbinder die, I bought from Bec, it's cut in gold, and is a 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy a gorgeous die and great size.
Yes, I am batch baking my cards so here are the three I've made of these, I actually really enjoy them, may even try them in another colourway if time permits.
Thanks so much for popping over for a peek and chat,I would really love it if you have time and could comment on the blog post here on Bizzy Bec's blog, thanks so much to those who've kindly done this before! 
May God bless your day wherever you may be!

Using Ink Dusters, Stencils and Embossing paste +WOYWW



Well, it has been a while it seems since joining WOYWW (see here  Julia's Stamping Ground,) or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday or in my case ... Thursday! It’s the way things are these days - very topsy turvy, but I am here!
{I want to link up also to Word Art Wednesday (WAW) and Di's snippets, see links below.}
Loads of pickies and first one shows my desk this Wed (yesterday) when finished one card and about to make another – a thank you. It is on hold and made an emergency birthday card had forgotten about today instead ~ not enough room though to post it today.
Okay, at the back is the wee card (which I played and coloured the butterfly stamp on) ... wasn't coloured when it came and lovely atc which will show below was my PiF WOYWW 312 from Soojay. Thank YOU so very much! Also below, on desk to right is the card just finished a belated on but as made it generic, so it wont matter. Front centre is a "thank you card" begun for dad to give to someone, made using one of dad's paintings as a digi image.
Showing this to share how I cut up die cuts (please note die cuts not dies). First die cut is the SB Fleur de Lis square die, make great corners. The second one is the scalloped oval, wanted a shadow reflection in gold. So this is why I did it, the eye thinks you have a whole gold oval unless you look carefully. :D

 

Gorgeous multi-medium ATC from Soojay, cute plus.. love the background textures + shades of colours! THANK YOU!
On my post below (or click here) you will see I am working to he left on this background hee - I said then I did not know if I like or no.
This is how the background sheet started out .. using some embossing paste, and stencils. Then out came the dusters and ink.

This is it at the end of the inking ..did another layer on what had done an decided it was okay. Used DI Vintage photo, Rusty hinge, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed. Antique linen. Also spritzed with "Shine Huey's Mist, which really finished it off, coloured some Floss with ink, too.
At the beginning of the year I won one of the NBUS prizes over at Darnell's, and prize was voucher at Sher Russ' Stamplorations ..lovely clear stamps plus was given two free masks, have used two sets here  *Vignette Trendy Feathers and *Bold Sentiments Hello. Love both these sets, and embossed them in Versafine ink, coloured + hand cut them out. Mounted on piece or neutral corrugated card.
 

Last of all , your Aussie shots ~ a Rainbow Lorikeet on his morning walk on fence top, after a bath in the bird bath, below! they are such clowns!

Thanks so much for popping over for peek and chat .. will return your visit as soon as I can, as do love to see your work too. :D I apologise a have not commented on many from last post .. but will do you first, so sorry.
May God bless your day and those you love, wherever you may be.
