#278 LPoCF SheepSki Designs

 Hello again,

We are still waiting for all the autumn leaves to fall, our trees are about half done, I watched multiple people last week stop, hold up their phones and I guess they record a short video. I was far more interested in the large group of Gang-Gang Cockatoo, I usually hear these long before I spot them, they sound like a rusty hinge creaking and have only ever seen them in small groups of four or five, this week I counted 19 all at once, flying in to eat gumnuts on the local Eucalypts. As usual with Aussie birds the male is more brightly coloured than the female. He has a distinct red head; the female and juvenile birds are plain black to grey.

Today brings us to a new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this challenge is sponsored by SheepSki Designs who kindly gave our team 2 images to work with, I have used Coffee and Cake #173 opting for the cake only for a birthday card. We are still on the lookout for some new members of the design team, if you would like to join us you can find out more information here.

Flower Power

 Hello again,

In my effort to join in some of the techniques shown over with the lovely ladies at Group of Seven, I have made a mostly white on white card for technique of Textured backgrounds using die cuts. I have used a floral die cut which had a variety of sized flowers glued them down to the card front and added triple cut sentiment dies inside a golden frame. 


What I used:
White cardstock
Mystery dark pink cardstock
12.6x 17.8cm card blank 
Cheery Lynn Shasta Daisy strip die
MFT Happy birthday sentiment die
Butterfly die (mystery brand- let me know if you recognise it) 
Gold glitter card stock
Stitched rectangle dies
Clear crystal flat backed gems

I am adding this card to 
NBUS Challenge 69 I am not sure how long this flower die has been in my stash! First outing, it even left some of the colour from the metal die behind (Cheery Lynn purple)

I hope you are all recovering after the holidays, we woke to an early morning storm which has started a bushfire from a lightning strike a couple of hours away.... the middle of a heat wave and high winds make storms more dangerous to the Aussie bush.

Thank you for looking in...

Have a wonderful week

Twin Trees

 Hello again,

Well, I am back with a pair of Christmas cards, to join in with some of the current challenges, getting ready for Christmas. 

I followed the instructions with the Group of Seven Cardmakers ladies to make this pair of cards, heat embossing the background using Kaisercraft 'script' stamp (5cmx13cm) four times for each card, I did this on a cooler night as the days before have been more like Summer, placed the Christmas tree stencil from a magazine over, inked with Mowed Lawn, Candied Apple and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink. Sentiment stamped onto scraps of red card stock and heat embossed in white powder. 



What I used:
Kaisercraft 'Script' clear stamp
Christmas Tree Stencil
Stitched rectangle die
MFT Christmas Stamps (sentiment)
2 white 12.6x17.8cm card blank (5x7")
Clear and White Embossing powders 
Distress Oxide Inks, Candied Apple, Fossilized Amber, Mowed Lawn, 
Red cardstock
Adhesives:- Double sided tape

I would like to enter these cards in:

Two visitors in the garden, Australian Magpies, adult bird at the front, baby bird at the back. As sweet as some Magpies are others are extremely territorial and these birds are known to swoop, sometimes causing severe injuries to those who wander, ride, play too close to their nests. 

Have a wonderful week...
Thank you for looking in...

LPoCF #192 Sheepski Designs Coffee and Cake

 Hello again,

Well, we have now had the wettest year on record in New South Wales, the last time it was this wet was the year my Mum was born... our current local rainfall for this year is 2419.3mm or about 95.2inches, we are currently sitting just under twice the average rainfall for area. 

This fortnight brings us to another all new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we are sponsored by SheepSki Designs and the Design Team chose four different images to work with. I chose one called Coffee and Cake and whilst I coloured and paper pieced the combined image I managed to smudge my finger through glue and decided that I would use the cake which came as a stand-alone image.

LPoCF #170 All Dressed Up

 Hello again, 

Well on the local weather front we have had another drenching and gone from warm spring weather back to freezing cold winter weather, current outside temperature is 6.6C but with wind chill included feels like -2.6C. We are seeing less cases of the virus, although follow up appointments for Mum after her stroke have been swapped from in person to over the phone due to local cases within the hospital.

Today brings us to another all new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by All Dressed Up who kindly gave the design team two images to work with. I have used Oriental Girl and created a fancy card which will go to a family friend as a birthday card.
