Let’s Throw the Dice- Hand-Penned Memories and More Cards

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Last Friday on my Facebook Live we rolled the dice to see what we were making…and what an interesting live that was. Full of challenges, but in the end we came up with a card.

When the dice was rolled we ended up with Memories & More, Naturals, Sponging, Ribbon and ‘For You’.

Harvest Meadow

You know when you go to bed at night and you try to clear your mind of everything that has happened during the day…Do you find that’s when the best ideas happen? Then you have to hold onto them until the morning so you can make it reality. Well that’s what happened to me the other night.

Harvest Meadow Suite is probably the one suite that I have really enjoyed playing with from the Stampin’ Up! ® 2021 Jul- Dec Mini Catalogue. I love the silhouette dies- Harvest Dies and the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. I love the colours and how beautifully they work together.

Harvest Meadow Suite By Stampin' Up!®2021 July December mini Catalogue

Here I have tried to create a them of ‘Harvest – Country life’… I grew up in the southern region of NSW called the Riverina- MIA (Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area) in a little town called Leeton. This is a rice & fruit growing area and relies heavily on Irrigation. So the different layers in my card is the fields, distant hills and sun setting over the rice.

I love how this card has come together just like I imagined.

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

This week I did a bit of water colouring using the Harvest Meadow from the July- December Mini Catalogue. I love doing water colouring as I find it very relaxing.

I used a lot of colours in flowers & Stems to achieve depth in colour and texture.

I am sorry that in my video where I was putting the card together the camera was slipping in the holder so some of it is off screen but I think you can still get the idea of what I was doing…that’s a live for you anything can happen.

Facebook Live Friday – Forever Blossoms

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

Friday’s Facebook live I delved into my stamps and pulled out an old favorite Forever Blossoms and Cherry Blossoms Dies. We tend to play with them when we first get them but then something new comes along and they get forgotten.

Looking at the Cherry Blossoms Dies I relised that I had never used all the blossom dies. I had fun cutting and colouring each of the blossoms, petal edges brushed with Blushing Bride and a touch of green from the Soft Pastels in the flower centers. The stamens cut from Mango Melody and sponged with Cajun Craze.
