Craft Roulette #191

 Managed a card this afternoon/evening  after getting back from up north and visiting our little princesses. 

Parameters were a bit challenging this week. 

Project: Drop down

Colours: Supper Table

Element: Season

Random: Shiny

I made an Easel card for my Drop Down element - it drops down to post. My colours were inspired by a placemat I used at my table. Season is Summer - with my summer succulents. And my shiny element - silver mirror card leaves, silver embossing on the succulents and silver gems.

I used some Anko patterned paper (from KMart). I stamped the Hero Arts Succulent Bouquet with Versamark and embossed with silver powder from Ranger. I used some teals and greens from Altenew's 36 pan watercolour to add my colours. Once it was die cut, I added it with some 3D tape and some silver die cut leaves from Pinkfresh Studio. Finished with some silver gems.

We had a great time up north, very relaxing for me and hubby did lots of chain sawing and cutting up some dead trees. And got to stop in and see our little girls. Grace was full of life after waking from a nap... not a usual thing for her now at 4 1/2 but had been extra busy helping her Dad around the house and garden. Florence was full of similes and as wiggly as a worm - trying move around and clamber up us while we were holding her. She is nearly 5 months now and growing so quickly.

Hope you all are having a great weekend and get to do something you love. 

Dissection....

Over at Splitcoaststampers... Monday's technique was Dissection... use a tissue box or the likes or an envelope to make a set of card.   On Saturday I went to the local mall to get a new diffuser for my lounge and found this beautiful box with the diffuser in at KMart. 

And here are the cards I made

Card #1

I used a Gina K circle die to cut the Kookaburra.  The patterned paper is from a Anko pack called Natives.  It was from KMart - which is an Australian company hence these are Australian flowers and birds.   I added a sentiment from an Altenew stamp set. 

Card#2

For this one I used a square die and then used the reverse of card to make the frame.  Again used some PP from the Natives pack.  Used dies from Gina K Master Layouts #3  The sentiment is from a LDRS stamp set. 

Card #3

Once again I used Gina K Master Layouts (who did I ever craft before I got these) This time I die cut a rectangle panel.  For my background, I used a scrap I had from some gelli printing.  I used it to clean my brayer.  I dry embossed the panel with Altenew's Beautiful Bergenia. The sentiment is from an Altenew stamp set. 

Thanks for stopping in today.
