LPoCF #212 Sheepski Designs Wild Flower

 Hello again,

Well, another month has passed, and my mojo is still missing, spring is beginning to show, with the daffodils and jonquils out in force, unfortunately the local sulphur crested cockatoos dislike them and chew them off at the base. Our peach tree has the first of the spring flowers opening.

Today brings us to an all new Anything goes Challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Sheepski Designs we were given a selection of images to use. I have used Wildflower Image 205 image was fussy cut after die cutting the main image with the branch of flowers lifted out of the die (if you understand that)

Couple of Cards

 Hello again, 

I'm enjoying a couple of much cooler days after a week long heat wave 33C+, my poor budgies are all fluffed up trying to keep warm (14C) and have started moulting... while running back-up on my computer this morning I decided to make another Christmas card for my stash. This one is number 8 for the year... 

This card is a total scrap/snippet job I stamped the dog onto a snippet of white card stock and heat embossed in black powder before scribbling with watercolour pencils on another scrap of card and painting them onto the image. I die cut the sentiment from a scrap of silver paper and on the photo the Christmas looks a little lost against the background, not so bad IRL. The holly and berries were cut from some more scraps from Doodlebug papers.. the green leaves are from a different paper pad there are flowers on the back....

I have also made one birthday card using my distress oxide inks smooshing them on my gelli plate, spritzing with water, heat drying before moving on to the next colour. I then using the same colours to paint the heat embossed butterfly adding a tiny drop of water so the colours are brighter inside the stamped image.

edit... not sure how but forgot to add the watermark over my card...
