Well another year has passed, I know what you're thinking, she means a "week" not a "year", no I mean year, its my birthday! I had a lovely weekend, shopping at a papercraft fair at the weekend followed by a lovely late lunch with my crafty group of friends and family, so of course, lots of handmade cards and crafty goodies. So this week its not WOYWW but WOYDTW (whats on your dinning table Wednesday), here are all my goodies, some are pressies and some are bought with money that hubby gave me for my birthday
I went a bit mad at the Sweet poppy stencil stand, can you tell???
Also I have another post - WOYMW (whats on your mantelpiece Wednesday), these are all the lovely cards I had from the weekend
Aren't they fab? As well as by birthday this week it is also my sisters, and she has a special birthday (with a "0" at the end), I did make her a lovely card but forgot to take a piccie (don't worry I'll get one soon), so instead you can see what I made with the sweet poppy stencils

| Made with a "caught in crystal" background |

| Just a distress ink and twinkling H2O background (not much "twinkling" in the photo though!) |
Anyway must go, already running late after opening my pressies this morning. Off to
Julias blog to look around all the other desks.
Bye for now

Belated happy birthday - what a pile of goodies! Those stencils are great, aren't they?! Helen, 24
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns Donnna! looks as though you've got birthday shopping down! lice haul gal, and even nicer that you've set to and used some. Again, your cards are fab, love the white over the colour.
ReplyDeleteAdore the stencils and how did you do the white bit on the acetate? BJ#37
ReplyDeletethe white bit on the acetate is a stencil paste, but I have also tried the technique with versamark and embossing powder, just make sure you use an anti static bag first
DeleteHappy birthday, Donna! I love what you bought and I can understand why you 'went mad' with the stencils! They are absolutely gorgeous. Have a lovely WOYWW! Julie Ann xx #45

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Donna (a day late).
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Donna! Love your birthday gifts and the stunning cards you've made with them. You asked about the inky technique I'd used on the grungy paper on my desk. It's simply made by picking about 4 colours of ink (I used Distress Ink) and randomly pressing them down on a largish clear block of something (I used a large stamping block), then you spritz with water until it's wet enough to run, blow on it, use a cocktail stick, anything to make it all merge. Then put it down and put a piece of paper on top (water colour works best but I just used ordinary card), rub on the back of the card and lift it up, mop up any colour left or to cover up a white area on your card. I did the same thing here, but I embossed the background first.
