Hi blogger friends, hope you are having a nice weekend... it is 1.17 pm, Sunday today... These are rather childish cards but I fell in love with the owl print gift wrap at the book shop and had to buy it.
The first cardstock is made of pearlised paper (which cannot be seen here) and I have cut out the owl from the gift wrap. Have added pop up glitter fabric paint to dress up the owl. The blue and brown ribbon and gems are from my stash.
In the second image I have chalked the image in pearlised blue (Docraft chalks) and the yellow paper is from Cardmaking and Paper craft.
The uneven strips of shiny teal have been cut by hand. Have added glitter on the owl and faux crystal on the eyes. The yellow polka ribbon is from my stash and the flowers are my creation.
Wonder if you will like them?
Cards made for a good cause and often upcycled to respect and care for the environment

Sarah Hurley Challenge - Autumn
Hello blogger friends, I am back after a 4 day break and it seems like forever! Thank you for all your lovely words of encouragement for my last post. It means the WORLD to me...
I have got inspired by Shirley-Anne (I am a big fan of her's) to submit this for Sarah Hurley Challenge - Autumn...
I am not a great one for taking part in challenges but for once ...
The gold paisley paper on the base is from India while the orangish paper leaves are from a pound store in London. The flowers are homemade OFCOURSE... :) I went over with gold glitter to make it look fancy.
The cream and gold mulberry leaves in the background have been cut manually from paper from my stash.
Hope you like it.

Dog with handmade flowers
Hello there, it is 4.26 pm, Sunday as I post this card. I am not a big fan of Sunday because it is a reminder of Monday which comes all too soon. This dog stamp is from Indadinkado. (Gosh! I could barely read the name on the stamp - asked my daughter to read it for me because it was soo... tiny)
The flowers are NOT roses for a change but are home made scrunchie flowers which have been shaped with a quilling tool. The flowers are made of handmade matt gold and wine coloured paper.

Gold skeleton leaf
Hello dear friends, am back to making cards...
The skeleton leaf (from Paper Chase) has been stuck on handmade card stock. The flowers have been made by me.
The green leaves that are peeping out have been pressed in my flower press.
The gold border has been drawn manually with a Sakura gold pen.
I am getting my cards ready for another charity donation... if only I would stop making flowers and make more cards.

B is for Bali
More flowers... crazy me... but my blogger friends will understand.
I cannot show you pictures of Bali because yours truly has misplaced the charger for the camera!!! Doh! These pics have been taken on my mum's camera (she is visiting us).

Beautiful handmade roses by Helen
It is midnight, rather past midnight and I am still blog hopping and surfing... it is addictive, to say the least. I better go to bed after this post.
I had to share this exciting information that I happened to stumble upon -
I came across Helen's blog -
www.helenmade.blogspot.com/ while I was at Michelle's . I was delighted to see that on the left she has a rose making tutorial...
For those of you who are as crazy as me about making flowers, do visit her blog.
I have been struggling to post a flower making tutorial myself but I think it may take me a few years to get there... just kidding! :) I need to get more savvy at blog stuff.
Good night for now, my dear blog buddies.
Love,
Monica
