IN THE GARDEN

 Hello everyone,

I was thinking of something the other day and decided to go for it....a giant gate fold garden card

This was after I made that giant nautical card

and just wanted to do it again..

So, fold is done..8 inches high, 14 inches across.

papers..

such a beautiful pattern and colours

There she is all covered..front

and back..

now the fence

i didn't want to use the railing die for the fence, I wanted it to be a little bit

deeper so made my own..

Branches was a after thought..cut in brown then green then leaves

 were nipped off and glued onto the brown..

Daisies were a definite

and an idea for the centers, but no, looked silly and didn't work..

so die cutting began with these centers.

Yep, much better

another idea for the hearts but they needed severe painting or inking.

die cut loads of leaves from Altenew

glued the layers

nothing straight with my eye sight !!!1

but they passed

The hearts became the nails on the fence..

Then on went details and things...

metal handles with a tiny piece of Camillia branch holding it together..

Wide open..

cute little bird..

tiny white flower glued inp lace with Nuvo crystal drops for the centers..

and standing up..

So there you go..a giant tri fold garden card..fun.

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

STILL USING SCRAPS AND BUTTERFLIES..

 Hello everyone, 

It is Friday here while I'm writing this morning, Holly and I had a huge sleep in and I was so surprised that I didn't here anything and so surprised holly didn't bite my face to go out, too cold and frosty I reckon and the undesirables were not home so no noisy screaming kids to deal with..lol..grumpy old lady.

So I'm back to share yet another folio and I used up lots of scrap on this one and had a wonderful time making it.

There are 26 photos, and I know because I numbered them when editing so I would not loose my way.

for my pages I have fallen in love with this stuff..

off white,  very large in size, thick, strong and cheap from KMart

all fold and glue together..with the hinges technique..

Tim coming out to play..

and my giant wall display butterflies..

throwing in some Kaiser kraft 12x12, love these..( scraps )

pages all covered

Leftover circles turned into pockets

see..

a photo mat frame that I over inked!!!

I used lace too and the photos are form the internet 

or Temu I cant remember.

Negative frame, I'll save that..

Negative numbers, but crooked, so will try better..

Tray full of stuff all ready to go...

I also used heaps of ephemeras I have made through the months.

my top hat die with sun glasses as I couldn't find my goggles die..

there's my negative and I kept it straight..

The end..

That used up a lot of scraps and a few new sheets for bigger stuff,,

thank you so much for stopping by..

she finely found the winter sun..
