Quick cards

I was tidying my craft desk last week and came across some of the images from the Viva La Flora montage sheet from Darkroom Door and thought I would quickly make them up into cards rather than just relocate them off the desk.

Black and white are a classic combination and the floral photos from Rachel are gorgeous. I've teamed them up with the Full Bloom wordstrips also from Darkroom Door.

A delightful daisy gift card. Use a border punch to get the decorated edge.

A rose gift card in the same way.

A card to say Hello. Use one of the images and words and mount it on black cardstock, add some bling then attach it to the front of a white card.

Cut two of the smaller images in a strip and attach to white cardstock. Add some stamped words and

some rub-ons and there you have it. 

This was also on the table and it's a stamped image from Viva La Flora 2 stamp set. I've used

Archival Jet Black ink stamped on Gloss paper then attached it to a black gift card along with words from the Full Bloom wordstrips and a gem.

A bit of patterned paper can be turned into a card just as quickly. Attach the paper to a card and add

pearl gem stones to the middle of the flowers and a touch of Diamond Stickles to the birds tails.

Stamp Hero Arts Messages in Embossing Ink and use an embossing powder to match in with your paper. 

Mount it onto co-ordinating cardstock and attach with Magic Mount.

High Tide Heels

Maybe this is what we need to start wearing just in case you get caught out in the rain.

Home again

Well that couple of weeks went by in a woosh.

How was your Christmas? We had a fantastic time down south visiting family and friends, catching up, relaxing, eating. You know, the usual things.

Unfortunately back here, the town (and other parts of Qld) was experiencing a rather major flood. The second worst ever I've been told. Lucky for us our part of town was safe, just a little water logged.

Yesterday I managed to get a little of the washing dry before a downpour in the afternoon. Naturally the ground here is saturated so it formed a little river along the back yard, down the side and out to the street. Today started off nice and sunny, again did some more washing and now it's a bit overcast so we'll see if it turns into rain.

For those of you who were going to the PCYC markets on Sunday, they've been cancelled. If you need anything remember you can ring me to arrange a pick up or order it on the website and I'll send it out.

The PCYC has been turned into a flood information & operation centre for the time being.

This was what our yard looked like around 4.30pm yesterday.
