Card on Monday

A square card, 15cm x 15cm
another unusual size for me.
I like how this one ended
a bit of this and a bit of that;
ink, watercolour paint, embossing, texture paint, stamp,
flowers punched and assembled, 
topped with a bling

Mini album

Long after the fact.

Brother in law unexpectedly went for a heart operation, after it was all over I gave this mini album to sister-in-law.

Seeing the operation was on Valentines day
this humour picture fitted - I thought.

Card on Monday

Today my card is more like a  notelet.
Bag made with baking paper.
Cluster on the front includes a rectangle of black leather

This two cards open upwards not as the direction I normally prefer, left to right.

Left over leather.

A friend, involved in community work, received loads of off cut leather pieces. 
My not so original idea for an item that can be made from those off cuts.

Background

What this will become
I have no idea
yet.

Looks like high buildings in a city.

Sixth Mixed Media Morsels & Mash-ups Challenge


6th set 
my attempts

Moving the crackle background morsel as the paint began to show the crackle I dropped it. Like a slice of bread with peanut butter it landed on the wet side. That oh-no-moment added more character to the lovely cracked background.


my attempt
Although not a lot, the colour is affected because of the night time photo.
I stamped on the second layer of a serviette, and covered the whole page with it. Painted
mod podge over the whole index card, then coloured using the colour from watercolour pencils and a brush. The mod podge layer must have been uneven. I started off trying to paint only the 'celebrate' but the red seeped under the paper, there after I pained lightly over the whole card.
Used the same method for the orange flowers.
My butterfly doodle, was made on black card stock then fussy cut and stuck in place.
Still deciding if I like what this doodle looks like, reminds me of mehndi.

Card on Monday

No idea why the colour in these photos are so different from the cards in reality.
