WOYWW #252

Good morning, had a busy weekend, gave the mothers day cards to their recipients, so I can now show the cards from the "sneak peak", not yet though, I need to show you my desk for this week first:

This is a card in progress, there is a background being flattened underneath the Cuttlebug and hubbys book (not a very exciting read and no idea how it got into my craft room), then are loads of bits ready for colouring and adding together to make a card. Here is a close up of the "bits"

Eventually all the bits were added together and they became this:

There are a few hints of my normal style, but this was done as a commission, hence the personalisation and the golf theme, it turned out better than I though it would, as I hate doing male cards (unless its just trees) and adding a theme is even harder. The golf tees and wooden leaves have been gilded and the burlap has been die cut using a Tim Holtz Bigz die to match the leaves.

And as promised from last week, here are the finished mothers day cards:

This one uses a sweet poppy stencil as the focus, all the flowers are made from cardboard, those sharp eyed among you will notice that a few more bits were added after the sneak peak from last week - I just got carried away with bling. Here is the other one:

Also with added bling!

Anyway, must dash, a quick look at the other desks on Julias blog and off to work

Bye for now

What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday #230

Good morning, happy WOYWW, and if you are new to my blog and wonder what I'm talking about visit Julia's blog to find out what's going on, and if you are not a new visitor, welcome back.

I thought for this week I would give you a different view of my desk

And the other side:



Its very messy at the moment, you can see my cuppa and a big pile of gelli prints on top of the printer waiting to be made into cards, and also my new Sheena stamps are peeping out. If you are wondering where the U2 book on the window sill comes into my crafting - its used to flatten stuff after its been inked and is a bit warped.

The finished card on the desk, looks a bit like this:

The base of this is from some bits I made a while ago, the picture looks a bit blurred but it because the image is raised on acetate so the blurry bit is just the shadow. The flower was made using Tim Holtz tattered floral die and the card has been coloured with distress inks.

Thanks for looking, I'm off for a nosey around the other desks

Bye for now
