Oooops - wrong start time!

Sorry - I posted three days too early, confusing my DT date with Publishing date.

See you then!

Wild Things at Bizzy Bec's

Hello Peeps......

Today is the day I present again for Bizzy Bec's Blog

Who doesn't love Darkroom Door?

I made this card for my eldest's brother's birthday 

He turned 83 yesterday - he laughed when he got it.

I have some DRD stamps that are sooooo old they are presented in tins!

BUT I also have some newer ones and intend to get newer ones again in the next month or so
I love their Quote Stamps - but I love most of their stamps, so.....

The sentiment I used today is not new

but I now that they have four fabulous new ones out this month and I will be getting at least one!

Things used to make this card:

Small smiling hippo = I found this in my Darkroom Door stamp boxes

Happy 2020! May we all get 20:20 vision in this year before it is too late!

What a week!

Well, what a few months really but the last week was such a terrible time for so many.

My heart is bleeding for those who have lost loved ones, homes and animals 

in the country I love so much.

It is also so sore dealing with the loss of so much wildlife especially the now endangered koala.

Please keep safe Peeps.

We are currently safe and cool and look like remaining so for a while. 

The 30th Dec. was not so good - temperatures here in Hobart got to 41 degrees

I was hosting a birthday party for my husband - boy was it hot!

Now we are into January 2020

A New Year - so, new beginnings!

I am happy to announce that I am on a new Design Team

A Place to Start

The January challenge is:

Anything Goes 

with Optional Twist: CAS

This challenge is being sponsored by Bugaboo

It's a long time since I used one of their gorgeous and quirky digi stamps

but they are still of great quality and price!

This one is called 

Cat Love

Of course, I went to Word and using Insert, put the image onto a blank sheet 

and make it the size I wanted to play with by enlarging it a little

Once I had the printed off image, I used a die from Memory Box to create a

sentiment across the top.

I also cut a piece of SU Bermuda Bay card to fit behind the sentiment.

Once this was done I joined the two together with some double sided tape

Next, I added colour using my trusted Copic pens.

They are all there - I only used 6!

Next I stamped using Archieval Black ink and a sentiment stamp

from Stampin' Up - new from this year's Sale-A-Bration (starting February) Sending You Thoughts.

I then added the topper to a blank card, leaving a white margin

Well - simple, CAS I hope and fun to make!

(My cat currently has a sore tail - how funny is that!)

Thanks is such a simple word!

Thanks to the Firies and all the work they have been doing for the last three months. Thanks to the people who gave up their Christmas and New Year to help others. Thanks to all Volunteers everywhere. Thanks to the Armed Forces for being there too now and helping. Thanks to the ones out there trying to save our beautiful wildlife. Thanks to the ones at home caring for the sick animals and babies animals. Thanks too to all the Nurses and Paramedics and Doctors for going above and beyond day after day.

There is so much to be thankful for at the moment.

Thankful Tassie is being spared most of the heat and wind and fires

although as I key up this post the air outside is overcast with smoke

blown in from over Bass Strait and from local fires.

We need a good shower of rain to wash the sky clear again.

If it wasn't 30 degrees C outside I would think it looked like a cold winter's day.

So, I made a Thanks card

It is for Bizzy Bec's January Challenge - Anything goes!

I chose to work in the colours of a summer rain storm

Hopefully we will see one or two of them this year.

I was half way through when I realised I need to take photo's!

This is when I was making a flower 

You can see the sheet the flowers were die cut from 

I had fun playing with powdered inks and water sprays to create this sheet and my flower has a beautiful sheen on it as a result. 

I started with these three for the base card

I added in the Prussian Blue for the flower sheet

You can see the base card above, with a die cut - it is a sheet of w/c card cold pressed

My flower was also give some foliage using SU Blueberry Bushel card

Once I had all the bits I put it together. 

The SU BB card went behind the die cut and the flower was then added, with it's foliage

Plus some bling!

I then added this topper to a blank card

I used

Spellbinders  Shapeabilities Die D-Lites Blooms Three (S2-046)

for the flowers

Sizzix Thinlits Tim Holtz Alterations Mixed Media 2 (661185)

for background swirls

Watercolour card

White card blank

Elizabeth Craft Designs: Leafy branch 2 (1315);

Pair of leaves 1 (1314)

Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder: Rich Gold; Peppermint; Teal Wash

Brusho's Prussian Blue

Bling
