A lovely textured dotty paper matted onto gold. Three tatty leaf diecuts in autumn colours, and a layered sentiment in metallic bronze & gold card popped up with a tangle of gold thread behind.

This is a two-fer. This one is stencilled, and the other is the diecut which I used as a stencil, and will keep for another day.
This die is in one piece, so I diecut a piece of white card smaller than a base card (used for a stencil), cut the panel for this one slightly bigger and taped them together. Using brushes and JuiseyArt hybrid inks I blended three colours over both cards including the border of the larger piece.
I ended up with a negative-cut inked panel and this one. I misted both with water to get that delicious watery texture, and on this one I brushed with WinkofStella to get the subtle shimmery sparkle of fish scales (see detail pic). The eyes are drop-outs saved from dies. Stamped sentiment matted with silver.
A bit of a challenge with black & white garden style paper products and a recipe.
One image (sprig), two papers, three embellishments. The sentiment is diecut with gold and black, gold pearls.

I'm enjoying using washi at the moment, having not used it for a long long time. This is for recognition of breast cancer.
I used a black panel to arrange the washi in random fashion, tearing the ends. The sentiment is Waffle Flower stamps and diecut, inked with JuiseyArt hybrid ink. Added bow and sparkly sequins.

A woodland scene with stamping, stencilling and Copic colouring.
The panel is matted onto patterned paper. This is a great way to use those difficult or 'ugly' papers that have sat in stash forever and not easy to use otherwise. A diecut negative from another project is used as a stencil, coloured with DI's with a bit of water splatter. The animals stamped, coloured with Copics and die cut. The sentiment is Woodware. White dot using gel pen.

While the northern hemisphere is celebrating autumn, we are just moving into spring. Our clocks go into summer time next weekend. YAY! This means sometimes we in NZ struggle to get excited about seasonal challenge themes. Here goes one for autumn.
A large leafy background stamp using a watercolour technique, a diecut banner, some patterned papers (for zing) and My Favorite Things stamps that are coloured with Copics, paperpieced and fussycut! There are a couple of punched maple leaves punch (not branded), twine, and gold pearls holding the sentiment sign in place. I do like mousey's sweater which is stamped on a tiny scrap of patterned paper and carefully cut to fit; I think it looks knitted.

Inspired by a colour challenge, I picked out this stamp set that I've had for a while and not used yet. It was perfect for a CAS style card.
Sage green and blue with a touch of metallic gold in the dotty bits. The green ink is Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy. I stamped the layers of the flowers with JuiscyArt hybrid inks, then fussy cut them, layering them with foam tape.
The cheeky money is trying to find his way around the city in his rusty little car using this map. It is intended for a grandson's birthday.
The background panel uses the letterpress embossing technique with blue ink pressed into the hollows. A layered strip with smudgy blue dotty paper and chocolate brown for him to drive along; the car is stamped on a smooshed scrap (unbranded brand), coloured with Copics, fussycut, and popped up on foam tape. The sentiment is part of the set. White gel pen highlights, silver dots.

A bit of a hybrid card. This is an unusual colour combination with blue and brown together, colours I wouldn't usually use.
The background patterned paper is from Digital Scrapbooking.com with a texty patch, banners with blue staples, sentiment stamped and diecut (Waffle Flower) and popped up on foam. A diecut inked leaf (unknown) and gold pearls.

I made this for a NZ cardswap where we had to make our own designer paper. The sentiment is meant as encouragment.
I used my gelli plate to ink (Distress Inks) and stamp over to make my own background to this card (also misted with Perfect Pearls), which I diecut using SimonSaysStamp squovals die. I also used same stamp to stamp on another piece of inky card spritzed with Distress Spray for the flowers, fussy cutting them and putting some under the panel as well as popping some up on the front. The sentiment is simply stamped. Gold metallic pen dots on the flower stamens and sentiment panel. Sequins added.
I like the effect of this arty looking card.

I've been trying to use up my yarn stash and have been knitting over the NZ winter. One of my friends has a little granddaughter this is destined for. The two tone is because I didn't have enough pink yarn so made a design feature with white yarn. I've also knitted another two in the same pattern but different colours to give to a charity shop. Pattern is Sirdar 3100 with sizes 0- 6 years, great value with a sweater, cardigan and hat.
I don't know if real items apart from paper meet criteria for some challenges. If not, please delete them from your challenge. Thanks, C.

Inspired by challenges using washi, which, of course, are now expired. This is one of those products that, for me, are out-of-sight-out-of-mind. Time I used them.
The doily die is Couture Creations. Three washi in pinks, a gold embossed sentiment stamp (Grace Taylor - really really old, and I don't think I've ever used it before) onto a diecut label from cArt, gold pearls. A breakfast tray and flower from stash. Tiny diecut hearts with Ranger Stickles, gold strip trim to balance gold senti. Gosh, time I used lots of stuff I have forgotten about.

I have been dabbling in watercolour painting lately; here is one of them.
Watercolour paper, watercolour paints, freestyle painting without drawing wet-on-wet plus splatter.
HouseMouses are so cute and they are always getting into mischief.
This House Mouse image is from a CD about 18 years old that I got in the UK through Joanna Sheen, and I have coloured it up more using Copics. The pretty patterned paper is from stash. The panel is backed with a leafy diecut from Sizzix and popped up on 3D foam. The senti is diecut from the leftover strip and matted onto an orange shadow diecut to match the orange base card. Highlights with white gel pen.
I think the leafy paper makes it look like he is in the orchard getting dropped apples ... just waiting for the wasps to arrive ...

A salute to nature.
The black panel has a border scored around the edge for a frame. The white panel is stamped (Whispers Docraft) and laid over a inked diecut panel (Couture Creations). Ranger Distress inks.
