What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

Here's my desk this morning for the desk hoppers viewing from WOYWW week 306...don't have a clue what I'm talking about then pop over to Julias blog for more details. Yesterday afternoon I started to have a play with my Gelatos...for a card I'm making as a guest at Stamplorations...so I have covered over my try outs but you can see a few elements I've been playing with...it will be posted next Monday and if I get to post next Wednesday (I'm off again to visit the family while hubby is away working) -I'll pop in a copy.

You can also see a new Hello card (purple) from my best stamping friend Vikki and two cards (posted here) to the right I made yesterday at the local stamp shop - I go for the company and always end up twisting the cards to my colours and liking but they're a nice group of ladies and I get out of the house. Not much else is different on the desk - most things I used often are within handy reach.  Now I'm off to make a cuppa and browse a few desk, thanks to everyone who visiting last week and hope you enjoying some lovely weather at your place. Cheers Robyn

Hello ..

A couple of cards I made yesterday at the local stamp shop - Scrapbook Fantasies.  Alicia makes up a kit and cards to CASE....and I generally put my twist to the cards...I really like the little inchies on the first card - coloured them up with mixed Distress Inks.  Thanks for taking a peek Robyn

Freedom... and ...Happiness

This little bird has been sitting on my desk for some time waiting to be used...so with the theme at Shopping Our Stash SOS#196 who have a joint challenge with Words 2 Scrap by W2SB16

The Earth Has Music - bird song was a image that came straight to my mind.  I love the sounds of Nature - just the wind or the sea, it's never quiet when you really listen.

I have also used the colours from Pals Paper Arts PPA247 challenge - Blackberry, Eggplant and Plum. I created the back panel with Distress Inks and Perfect Pearl Mist so it has a gorgeous shimmer, then randomly stamped some music and leaves. I layered the sentiment and 3D mounted the circle frame and bird.

Have a Lovely Birthday

With this card I have attempted to use all the elements set at Inspired by Stamping IBSIC#92 - sketch, colours and twine.  My cream colour is a bit vibrant (the photo doesn't capture it correctly) but I have enjoyed trying to work with the colour palette. I have used the IBS stamps from sets Friends Forever and A Lovely Birthday. Thanks for taking a peek Robyn

  

Our Beautiful World

Hi and welcome to Week 92 at

Our Beautiful World

where the word prompt for today has been suggested by myself....

The famous catch phrase from James Bond

"Shaken not Stirred..."

Well of course this line conjures to the mind something nice to drink and I was hoping to go out for dinner and snap a pic of a gorgeous cocktail..but that didn't happen so -

I'm sharing my morning "Blended" fruit smoothie

and my afternoon tea "Dunked" coffee with banana cake

and a simply "Poured" evening Vodka Cooler

What images does this line conjure for you???

The team would love for you to join in and share your photos so pop over to the OBW blog and 'link up'.  While your there please drop by the other members blogs and player - I'm sure they'd love for your to leave a encouraging comment.

Here's Wishing You...

One more card from me today - I've made this one using the palette at ColourQ cQc#286 and added some twine and beads for the inspirational photo at Inspired by Stamping IBSIC#92.

I masked off a rectangle on white card and stamped and coloured the Honeysuckle flowers off the page and then watercoloured around them leaving the center blank. I trimmed the card leaving a white border and layered it on bluegreen card. Then made a tag and stamped the IBS sentiment and attached twine threaded with beads - I like this effect in the photo. Finished off the card - mounting the tag with 3D tape and added a few sparkling gems.  This is also my project this month for our ABC TAG/Card project... "H" for Honeysuckle and "Here's Wishing You..."

Hello Friend

Here I'm back again today with another card for Happy Little Stampers April CAS - Stenciling challenge, I am also posting to House of Cards April challenge - Add a Butterfly.

I made the background panel with one of my new Kaisercraft stencils using sprays made with Moonglow Magical Mica pigment powders dissolved in water. I also die cut the butterfly and painted him too. Then stamped 'friend' on a white card strip, die cut 'hello' and attached it to the strip which I mounted with 3D tape onto the card. Finished the butterfly with a couple of beads.

April Challenge Week One add A Butterfly or Color Challenge

Friend

 

 

So late yesterday I was having some fun with my new Kaisercraft stencils and mists, and here is one of the results (3rd pic)  - the piece on the right is the first spray and then as there was so much lovely ink all over the stencil I laid a panel on that and the left piece is the result.

Today I've made a card with the left stenciled panel for the Happy Little Stampers April 2015 challenge - Stenciling and the layout is for the Stamplorations challenge #31 sketch.

I die cut an opening in the front panel of my white card and ran it through the Cuttlebug again with the rubber mat  to get a embossed edge on the cutout. Then I cut the stenciled panel to fit the inside of the card and attached it to a folded inner slip so it was free and there was a panel for writing. I finished the card with a pink label with a die cut Friend sentiment, a gem and a small pink flower.
