PRIZE $10 gift certificate
I have used a stamp from the Beccy’s Place Waratah set, being an Aussie
I love to find Australian stamps and images. The Waratah is the floral emblem
of NSW, the state that I live in, according to local Aboriginals the Waratah was
a flower seen from afar, which the warriors of the tribe used to remove from
the plant and soak the flower head in water and drink the resulting sweet drink for
an energy boost. We have them growing in both the front and back garden. I am
also sharing two pictures from our garden, the first one has begun opening and the second is still closed up.
I coloured the image using Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils, die cut
with an MFT stitched oval die teamed with some papers from the Kaisercraft
paper pad called Open Road which features Australian flora, fauna and iconic
images of our country. I have used the coloured border (which looks like bark
of a gum tree) from the spine to stamp my sentiment onto to make a card for my
Mum for Mother’s Day.
This challenge is open until March 26th, you can add your project by using the Linky tool over at Crafting by Designs. Please be sure to link your project back to us.
