Metal

By
Over on Less is More the brief is to create a clean and simple card with 'Metal' on it. This is no bad thing because residing at the bottom of my paper and card drawer is a pack of metal foil sheets in gold, silver and bronze - bought on a whim and never used!
I decided to use it with my 2 Step Owl Punch and punched out the elements in the various metallic colours.
I then perched him on a branch and drew a frame around him
The branch is from my Bird on a Branch set and the sentiment is from Just Believe - the frame is doodled by me!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look - hope you are enjoying your weekend - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
