Hello everyone,
My son has just left my home after sorting out apps and more network things for me to watch, I'm so excited as I love TV and films and series and stuff to watch or listen to in my craftroom, so I'm all set to go..
I'm back with another nautical, I'm getting a lovely stash of it for the shop and can't wait to get it out there..
Ephemera, one of the easiest layering systems for me, and dies cuts, but I'm thinking of what you can buy in a packet, already cut and coloured and ready to go..
My papers are to die for, they are gorgeous and I'm telling you now, when they come back into the stores I'm grabbing them again..
I'm using a lot of scraps now to make these cards and really having fun with them..
even cutting these skinny little strips and gluing then down can make such n impact..
See..
This port hole needed something for my ship to sit in, so using
a scrap I cut and wave...
and fussy cut the smallest of the ships from a sheet of paper,
and gave them an edge inking with dark grey.
More scraps and more strips
and dimension...love it..
Ephemera along the bottom, layered up, hiding bits, but that's okay...
out of my stash I had these gold 3D star brads..
so punched a few holes and added them..
and there you go..DONE!!
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
luv CHRISSYxx

fantastic and very beautiful card Chrissy.......gr karin
Fabulous, I mean so fabulous, I just love all of it and the porthole with the wave, wow, it looks amazing Chrissy.
Don't get me started on all the TV apps, so many to go through and some of the series are amazing, right now I am up to my ears with Jeff Lewis, sadly he is gay and lives in the states and is far to young for this old girl, but haha, but his shows are brilliant. xx
Beautiful nautical card Chrissy. Love how you used the ephemera.
