Twofers - Butterflies

     Tonight I have two cards for the Twofer Card Challenge #29 - Butterflies

Penny Black Flutters die was used in both cards.

The first card, FRIEND, I used Technique Tuesday Stamps for the flower and sentiment.  Copics were used for the colouring and some Kaiser Craft Pearles added.

The BIRTHDAY card I used design paper from the Collect Moments pad.  Again the sentiment was Technique Tuesday and the rhinestones are Kaiser Craft.

Thank you for visiting and take care.

Last Saturday I went to the White Night here in Geelong.

The City Hall and some of the old buildings had images projected onto them

There were illuminations in the park

 The Art Gallery had the winning Archibald Prize portrait

and the public choice portrait exhibited on the ourside wall of the Gallery.  Guy Pearce grew up in Geelong.

There was music of all sort.  An opera singer was singing from the second floor of a car parking garage and from a civic monument.

Sorry this was a rather large post but I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Embossed Blossoms

Hello!  I’m back.  I had annual leave in January.  January is a good time to take leave because it is the most reliable time of the year for good weather.  It didn’t disappoint, some days it reached 40^OC.

The Bendigo Art Gallery had an exclusive Edith Head costume exhibition on during January.  Edith Head worked on 1,000s of films and won 8 Academy Awards.  She dressed stars such as Dorothy Lamour, Mae West, Barbara Stanwick and Veronica Lake.  A friend and I drove up and really enjoyed it.

So now to the card I have made for the Less is More Challenge - Dry Embossing.

Embossing Folder - Stampin Up

Semtiment - Technique Tuesday

Colouring - Copics

Card - Bazzill & UPM

Thanks for dropping by

Heart

It is the one layer challenge with a coloured card base at Less is More but with a difference.  This challenge will run for 2 Weeks in conjunction with AAA CAS Cards.

I have used a Technique Tuesday image and sentiment.  They were heat embossed using Hero Arts white embossing powder.  I used a gel pen to make a faux stitched border.

thank you for dropping by,

Beach Huts

The challenge at Less is More this week is a sketch.

I have used a digital image from Just Ink Lined which I coloured with Copics and the sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set.  Lawn Fawn dies were used to cut the curved lines.  I fussy cut the green beach hut and mounted on foam tape for dimension.

Thanks for visiting

Two Birds

This is my fourth and final week as a Guest Designer and it's a sketch challenge at the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #229

I have used dies for the majority of this card.  The birds and branch are Memory Box, the stars are Simon Says and the moon is Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set which was heat embossed with Hero Arts white embossing powder.

This month has been a great challenge for me and one I have thoroughly enjoyed.  Thank you for the experience.
