Oh my! I almost missed another Wednesday...where is the
time going? And being Wednesday, it is
time to go visit The Stamping Ground, and explore What’s on Your Workdesk
Wednesday, conceived by the wonderful Julia!
From this view; my desk is looking pretty good! Step back, and disaster reigns!
I’m almost
finishing up with my Christmas cards.
This particular design is giving me a bit of grief. I’ve colored all the images, and used the
micro glaze resist (Maybe I should have resisted more! LOL!) …and I’m happy
with them. But I’m having such issues getting those panels onto cards! I don’t have enough of that plaid paper to
layer them…haven’t seen anything I like in my 3 trips to the “Big 3”…and just
don’t want to go to AC Moore: ours is old and so dated! Though looking now; the gray outline, which
is a die…could actually work...maybe I can cut smaller frames to go on top…hmmmm;
I have various other dies lying about. As well as a few
paper packs and inks and stains to be put away.
And here are a few other cards I’ve finished…thank you
Pinterest for the pine tree! That die is
Tim Holtz, as is the snowflake stamp. The Peace Die is from Our Daily Bread Designs. And you can't see it; but I actually bought a Wink of Stella pen for this one; have to say...pretty nice!!!
love that tree, what a great image - both cards are gorgeous, though. Helen #3
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, loving these cards! I saw a tip on a video the other day, for a cheap version of micro-glaze. Believe it or not, lip balm! Apparently it works a treat! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 xx
ReplyDeleteHi Kim. Those cards are lovely. The colours in the top picture are beautiful, and I just LOVE the snowflake design one!! I can just imagine God sitting there designing them!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you sort your dilemmas.
Take care. God bless.

I really like those stamps - think it's the abstract, scribble style that appeals to me! I don't much like overly fussy stuff so these are the ones I'd buy in the shops!

Lovely cards! As for your dilemma, how about cutting strips from the plaid paper, framing the card base, and glue the image on top? Thanks for visiting my blog! Lindart #38
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards! I love using dies for cards... the dimension and texture is just perfect. ❤️ Have a great week! ~Heather~ #47
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful. The ones on the plaid paper are really fun...especially the sled.
