Patchwork Owl

By
A couple of days ago I did a workshop and for the first time in five years I was at a bit of a loss as to what to do this time! This didn't last long and I did have a flash of inspiration in time for my workshop and this is what we made


We had a go at making our own backing paper from scraps of left over decorative papers - I used some Springtime Vintage DSP, a punched image and some die cut shapes, it always amazes me though when we all use the same technique but end up with totally different cards.
As always as this is a workshop make the tutorial will soon be ready on my Craft Club Blog so watch this space.
I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges
Alphabet Challenge Blog - F is for Feathered Friends
Lisa Somerville's Bloggers Challenge - Make Your Own Background Paper
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - Punches/die Cuts.

Thanks for looking - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I do so love this owl and funnily enough an idea is brewing in my head for a card to make today. The patchwork background is a great idea.

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 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
