French Foliage and Scallops

By
The challenge this week at DYSU Challenge Blog is


Rather an interesting photo don't you think? I also thought I'd combine this challenge with the colours that are this week's Dynamic Duos


I already had my French Foliage set out on my work top so I decided to go with it and here is my card



I used Certain Celery and Always Artichoke card stock along with my scallop edge punch to create some little panels which were placed under a Certain Celery mat - this was attached using some 3D foam pads. I cut a slightly smaller white panel on to which I added my leaves - stamped in Always Artichoke and Certain Celery ink. I then found a scrap of linen thread to tie around. My little 'thank you' sentiment is from Just Believe.
I had great fun creating this card - hope you like it - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Hi Jacqueline - that's twice this week you've made me suck in my breath and say "ooohhhhh" - you are on a roll! Just love those leaves and you are right the colors are just perfect for what you've done with them.

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!!!

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
