More Than One Fold

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Helen has chosen #202 More than One Fold. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a slimline card, folded it in half, then folded the front in half, creating a Z fold card. I matted the inside of the back piece and the folded back piece with gold mirri card, then with a sheet of  pink mottled designer paper. I did the same for the panel holding the image, which is a page from Hunkydory - Little Book of Sewing. I cut out pieces from several pages to decoupage the design. Pearls were added to each corner, to the pin cushion and a sentiment added.Thanks again, take care and stay safe.

F is for Flying

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we continue with our alphabet at Alphabet Challenges. Deborah has chosen  F is for Flying (anything that flies). To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a 6" sq. white card, matted with a pink card. On the main white stamping card I stamped the bird, flowers images and the sentiment from a collection of stamps with the magazine Creative Stamping #118 Wings and Things. All coloured with Promarker alcohol pens. Gold glitter pen to colour the centre of the flowers. It's not often I make a 'clean' card, I always seem to want to fill in the white, which I know I needed do. I always think it makes mine  look bare. (Smiles) Have fun.
