Flighty Butterflies

This creation is all sticker tape, stickers, distress inks and Twinkling H20's on white card base...

Funnily enough the colours are way different IRL - top & bottom of the card are the same dark colour using Lipstick & Spun Sugar distress inks with a strip in the middle of Mustard Seed over the top of Spun Sugar which looks orange... the card stock has bowed with the inks so when photographing the inks look graded dark at the bottom to light at the top...

WOYWW #219

If you want to know more about WOYWW [Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday] pop on over to Stamping Ground where Julia Dunnit hosts the best blog hop around creative desks of the world!!

I am cheating big time here and using a pic I took this morning - but posted for T for Tuesday hosted by Bleubeard & Elizabeth at Altered Book Lover... another fab blog hop...

Anyhoo - here is my wrokdesk [this is my most common typo converting work to wrok... lol]

This is how my desk looks sometimes - when I have finished a project and am ready to start again on something new... Left my carousel with doublesided tape in view, then some kindyglitz and liquid pearls I have been using this week, a couple of cards I am working on, on top of my mini drawers is some paper doilies I scored - 50 for $2 at a bargain shop - not very intricate but doilies none the less, right is a plastic box with handles at each side and a clasp in front - I reckon it looks good enough as a pseudo pirate chest which my 17 yr old daughter wants to take to the Oz version of Comicon - called Supernova she dresses up and has a ball... there are also two bags of baby rattle embellishments got at the bargain shop, and finally stickertape that I forgot I had was dragged out of my stash... The black tape has already made it onto the black & white card you can see, the blue was used on a baby card see previous post HERE - and a nice hot caramel latte - which was delish...
that's it for me this week .. looking forward to globe trotting now...

Oh before I forget again - welcome to some new followers - Trisha Too & Monica - glad to have you visit!!

T for Tuesday #5

Whew - its been a hectic week - interview feedback, discussion with career planners, the word spreading around work and people stopping by for a chat - so I really needed this one...

 

This is the first photo on T for Tuesday I have actually taken on my "workdesk" - and it shows things in progress as well as the view I have every day when doing my crafting... yes it is my lounge room - being on my own my home is my craft place LOL... and the caramel latte was delish!!

 

If you would like to catch up over a cuppa head on over to Altered Book Lover where Bleubeard and Elizabeth will greet you with open arms and a friendly smile...

Congratulations Baby Boy

Looking for my spare roll of 3mm adhesive and lookie what I found... Stickertape - forgot I had it... Craft Kingdom adhesive tape borders to be precise LOL

Such a simple concept - just unroll and stick it down... have some black as well but will use that another time... and a silver sentiment sticker and all done...

So pretty - I am linking up to the following with this creation

Scene

Highlighted with Kindyglitz and coloured with distress inks one of my favourite techniques - I started with freebie green dp from a craft magazine & the Stampin Up image borrowed from a friend... mounted on Kraft card...

But it just looks too pale... so I added more distressing using versa colour cubes in purple & green and I think that made all the difference... then I chose my sentiment sticker and it was one of those that gives you grief trying to get the negatives out of the a & b etc... so this took way longer than planned...

Happy with the end result though...
