MC Jan/16 - Bamboo Oriental - ECD Thanks - There is Always

I came across an Oriental painting of Bamboo and it just hit me - BIG GRIN. I don't know who the artist is Sigh!! but you can see the pic HERE

I created my painting using Pan Pastels and rubber stamps on the smooth side of Soft Finish cardstock. The bamboo stocks were done with an altered glue stick spreader and a square edge Sofft sponge, double loaded with pastels and a manipulated/twisting action of the tool.

You can see all the details and descriptions etc, by clicking on any card image - enjoy

MC May/13 - Quill - Lattice HB

Had a wonderful quilling session again and was productive to boot... Made all my quilled elements so only had to put it together and that took almost a little longer than the quilling BIG GRIN.

Love the lattice and especially the little drop out pieces. Stay tuned on may 24th for a card with little guys...

I've been saying I made a gadget from mini craft sticks to do those fern/pine branch type leaves which you can see on this card. But I also went a step further and made a gadget with larger craft sticks to do the curly leaves. Makes life a lot easier...

I'm using a birthday sentiment stamp from Quietfire Design.
