Good morning everyone. Hope that all is good with you and yours.
Today is time for another challenge at MAWTT and the theme for this one was chosen by Wendy and is. . . . . . . . . . . . Music!!!
It would be great if you can pop over and see what the other girlies have been up to and as always, would be fabulous to see some familiar names entering the challenge.
Now, I had been thinking it was time to start using my gorgeous First Edition papers again rather than them gather dust on the shelves and remembered these particular sheets from the Bird Song pad.
Ingredients
Cream card
Kiwi pearlised card (Lime Tree)
First Edition Bird Song 8x8 pad (the bottom/inside sheet is actually white so I inked over with Victorian Velvet DI)
SB Labels 20
SB Carnation Creations (thought you may fancy a change from Bitty Blossoms lol!!!)
Hobbycraft sentiment and flourish stamps
CE ribbon
Dovecraft teeny bling
Cream pearls
New Sprout Memento Dew Drop ink
Black Archival ink
It was an A4 sheet folded and cut into, as above.
The faux layers were created by inking around the die cuts using the die to provide an edge to ink up to, as above.
You can see the effect better, perhaps, on the above photo.
Sorry that this was a bit photo heavy but I thought I would explain how I did a couple of bits.
I think it was Jackie who asked if I used any equipment to stamp my last card. I think you were thinking of the Inkadinkadoo thingy they had on C & C sometime ago?
Nope, it was just me, the stamp, and a normal block. I did draw a circle to use as a guide to stamp around but that was it.
Thank you for your continued well wishes. I'm getting there and at least its taken my mind off my dodgy ankle lol!!! I am honestly being good and doing as I'm told. . . . . . . . .breaking the habit of a life time lol!!!
I will try and visit everyone's blogs to catch up today. Still nodding off at inopportune moments so its been frustrating.
See you all soon.
TTFN

Love this one, Ang. Such pretty colours in the Bird Song pad and really nice bit of die cutting too. They are pretty little carnations too.

Beautiful card Mrs D and you've been ever so neat with those layers, very pretty indeed, Jx
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteLovely card today with great photos and instructions, thank you.
Get your feet up and rest if you need to. You can't fight it, so don't try. I hope Mr D's mouth is all healed and fine now.

Those papers are beautiful, no wonder you didn't want to cut into them! Fabulous card with those faux layers. I hope the recent hot weather hasn't encouraged your neighbour to go aux naturelle more often! Cara x
ReplyDeleteLovely card Ang. Like the subtle paper hinting at the music. Thanks for sharing how you cut the frames too. Zx

Hi Ang, thanks for all the comments on my blog, I'm catching up too as I've been enjoying the lovely weather and been sitting in the garden. Lovely card for the challenge. I have this paper pad, but apart from looking at the pages, I don't think I've used it more than a couple of times. Janice xx http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGreat card Ang, love those papers, the brilliant flowers and design.
ReplyDeleteGlad your feeling a bit more "chirpy"

A great card Ang. Thanks for the details
ReplyDeleteI lime the faux nesting technique I will definitely be trying it once I'm back on my feet.
Had my operation on my leg yesterday so bandaged like a mummy now. At least I'm back home xx
Glad to hear your improving too xx
Wow, what a very complicated card design, holy moly! I'm more of a chop chop glue kind of a crafter, but you have extreme patience for intricate designs! Beautiful Ang! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ang, I have missed your last couple of posts so did not realize that you had had such a scare. I do hope that you are now well on the way to recovery. Your cards are beautiful and it is a pleasure to see them, however you must take things easy and not tire yourself out.Your health is important.

Hi Ang
ReplyDeleteI've just popped in to say Thank You for those lovely words to Claire & Toby, and for the lovely poem. It brought tears to my eyes.
I'm sorry you can't get to leave comments on my blog anymore. It's nothing I've done, honest guv! I had no idea you were having problems with Google+. I'll have to ask my son for some help. Hopefully in time I will back to blogging regularly. Thank you again Ang

Hi Ang, I'm back from bonny Scotland and had a wonderful relaxing holiday. This is a super card. The papers are great. SOmetimes I fu=in dpapers too nice touse - I just want tokeep them and stroke them every now and again. When I bought papers individually I have been known tobuy two sheets - one to use, one to stroke. Glad you are feeling abit better. I was thinking of you. Hugs Christine xx
