NEGATIVE PANEL CARD..

 Hello everyone,

Sunday today, I just got some pork chops out to cook up for myself, it is 8am in the morning and I really want to eat them now!!!

Sharing a card I made recently, and called it a negative panel card, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember why until the pictures popped up and I had an Ohhhh!! moment..


these are the fabulous rustic coloured papers and
great patterns and I made a few panels..


Panels glued in place and a smaller set on top going in opposite direction.


Then a frame I had made with scrap papers went on top.. 


then was added to the smaller panels.




And this is the negative bit..I could not throw this away,
I had cut three circle for my round tags and this was left..


and it was plopped right on there..
sort of on the inside..


and it turned out like this..after adding a butterfly..


open like this..


and this..


the flowers and butterfly was cut from my masterboard..


the arch..


standing up..
there is reason why I'm showing it standing up,
 that joke will come soon..

So, there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon..

MASTER BOARD..


Hello everyone,

Sharing a master board I made using up funny little vintage papers, stamps stickers and stuff..and it kept me busy and it stopped my online shopping!!😂

plus all my orders were done and the Christmas ones are coming in now..


These are the papers, too small really for what I make,
 but very cool as well, so they were my base..


This glue stick is the best I've ever used from Dollarama store here at home
but they have no more and only 99 cents for gosh sakes, 
I only bought ten of them and ploughing 
my way through them..


they stick so well with no sticky up bits.


so covered both side of this very large sheet A3 I think it is, 


So this was emptied, so proud..


now this ones turn but only to fill up gaps..


there they are three of them, both sides..


i don't want to talk about how one side is facing one way and the reverse side is upside down,
 but I really don't want to talk about it..


Time for stamps, stickers or printed, I used them all..


Not bad..


going to get better..


Done..dried and time to chop up..


I made frames, panels (skinny ones, )


labels


butterflies ( come back tomorrow)


and flowers...

So there you go, pop back tomorrow and I'll show
you  what I did with the negatives from the butterflies..

Thank you so much for stopping by
See you tomorrow..
