Self painted bouquet

Hello dear bloggers,

I have painted this bouquet entirely on my own after taking tips on youtube. Apologies that I  cannot recall the link. The bow is hand tied as is the silver cord to attach the oval jewellery tag. The sentiment is handwritten and a silver metallic pen was used to match the silver cord.

I am trying to link this card to challenges but for some reason, Mr Blogger seems to be taking me to my blog posts when I click on the challenge link. Now that is a new number that Mr Blogger is doing on me and I hope this glitch sorts itself out soon. 



24 hours later and Mr Blogger is all sorted. Thank heavens for that!

Acetate card

 Hello dear bloggers,

Here is an acetate card to show you. The acetate came from the packaging of some dies. The leaf was die cut using paper that I smooshed with brush markers. The ribbon on the left was tied to cover up a faux pas. The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Hero Arts.


I will participate in the following challenges:

Recycled feathers

 Hello dear bloggers,

The feathers on this card were die cut using Ferraro Rocher chocolate foil which I stuck on to a thick card before putting in through my Cuttlebug. The feathers were embossed to make them appear more natural. The fluorescent paper was a result of painting with neon paints as well as gold poster colour. It looks really rich and vibrant in real life.

Embossed stencil

 Hello bloggers,

I embossed this piece of cardstock using a stencil many years ago. Since I was not impressed with the watercolour pencil work, it just lay around and waited patiently. One fine day, my daughter, Aleeza placed it on to a base card that was painted over with orange acrylics. She even arranged a die cut sentiment on it. When I saw it all coming together so nicely, I finally stuck it and this is the final result.


I will participate in the following challenges:
