Pink Flowers

Last weekend my husband was showing me some photos he has been cataloguing for a history group.  This one caught my eye and I thought you might like to see it.

This is Mr Charles Jackson and family at Beech Forest, circa 1910.  Beech Forest is 140 miles from Melbourne, at the southern tip of the mainland.  It is on the main ridge of the Otway Ranges.

Card: Blue - Simon Says,  Silver is a scrap.  Believe it or not both the hello and the strip are from the same card.  In reality they look the same.  It's just in the photo Hello looks lighter.

Hen

This week the cue word for the Casology Challenge is FLY.

I have used an image from A Day for Daisies and the sentiment is a Mama Elaphant die.  The design paper is an unknown scrap.  I used Lyra pencils to shade and colour the hen.

I know hens can fly because ours fly over a chest high fence we put up to keep them out of our vegetable garden.  Well they fly to to top of the fence and then jump over.  Our hens, Tim & Tam, are glossy brown hens not white and they don't wear aprons.

Yappy Birthday

 The card tonight is for the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #219 and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

I started by stamping the Mama Elephant dog on white cardstock and colouring it with Lyra pencils. I created a hole in the design paper (Stampin' Up I think).  I stamped the sentiment which is from the same set as the dog.  Then I drew a dotted line around the edge of the design paper with a white gel pen.  The design paper was then mounted onto the card with foam tape, as was the dog and sentiment banner.

Teal

Tonight I have a card for the challenge on CAS(E) this Sketch #211 and the challenge on Less is More #318 - Mainly Teal

I used Technique Tuesday image, Queen Anne's Lace, Hero Arts Dictionary Greetings for the background and Mama Elephant Hello die for the sentiment.  I cut three sentiments and stacked themthen gave the tope one a coat of Glossy Accents.  The ink pads used were Distress Ink, Tumbled Glass and Broken China.
