Hello everyone..
I had a wonderful craft room clean up yesterday as the man who cleans venetian blinds came and got mine down and cleaned it,. fixed it,. straightened the slats and it is beautiful now..so while he was doing his thing I did mine and shifted things around and re shelved and cleaned and tidied up and the room looks lovely too..except now my desk is too low and in the way and too big anywhere else but at least I have space in the middle of the room which I didn't have before..so now we can dance, but not craft..back to the drawing board I think..
So onto cards for today..Anniversary and a leaf die that I have not used forever...
I love these sweet resin frames from The Resin Embellishment shop..this one is rubbed over with Nuovo Gold Mousse, just with my fingers..
I love this leaf die from Poppy Stamps and it has the solid and skeleton leaves..
then you just line them up, glue them down and you have pretty leaves..
Tucked behind flowers with glue only on the ends of the stem so the branch pops up and foiled fussy cut butterflies.....
And there you have the card all done and dimensional ready for a box..
So thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you tomorrow, and gosh, have you looked at the calendar..... it is nearly August, our coldest month of Winter, excellent, I'm looking forward to that while I stay all cozy in my bed in the mornings,,Oh, I love it..
Luv CHRISSYxx
Phew Chrissy you hardly drew breathe, or was it just me..haha...Your card is as gorgeous as ever, those leaves are so pretty. Glad you got you room sorted more or less, have fun.xx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful design, love the dimension, your gorgeous die cuts and lovely flowers,
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find the energy to clean up my craftroom- it really could do with a good sort out! My excuse is that I'm concerned for my hubby's wellbeing - he would probably have a nervous breakdown if he came in and found it tidy!

ReplyDeleteWe are baking here and even going to be hotter tomorrow, around 34 degrees. I am going to a craft shop with a friend tomorrow. Fortunately they have Air Con, as it is a very big store. So keep warm and enjoy your new craft room. Big hugs, Carol S.xxxx

Beautiful card and most stunning colours and love that die, not seen that one which made me search in my MB file, but nope, looks fantastic. xx
ReplyDeleteHow great to have the craft room sorted and ready to play (and dance)... apart from the too-low table. Good luck working out how that will work out!!
ReplyDeleteLove your dimensional florals on the card, and the gilded frame is a treat.
