365 Cards - #198 - Make A Mosaic

It's all about making a mosaic on your card today over at 365 Cards. In Pam's words "So today's challenge is to create a mosaic. Now you can do this a couple of ways. Nice clean cuts of paper to create even shapes OR lots of different shapes, sizes and patterns. Either way you choose to do it, piece together a mosaic on your card." I chose nice clean cuts of paper to create my mosaic as you can see below, although some of them have gone awry by the look of it.

The ribbon I have used is from the same RAK from Sherry as the vintage flowers from SSS yesterday. See I can release my coveted stuff when I want to lol but it is only a little bit for the bow that I tied around the chipboard heart lol. Now I am off to check out others work and other blogs for more inspiration.

In the meantime. . . .

Walk about your day with beauty.

365 Cards - #196 - Just A Touch

Over at 365 Cards today the challenge was Just A Touch! "And here's the specific challenge: Using a stamped image (ink or digi), use black on white, and just add a touch of color somewhere. I'm going with the "less is more" theory on this one!" Those were Pam's words to the letter. I chose my SU Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set to use as well as my new DCWV Garden Party paper stack. I used SU Pastels to give the rose just a hint of Cameo Coral colour. There you have it for the day. No fuss, no drama, just plain and to the point lol.

Okay I am absolutely knackered after helping our daughter and son in law move house today so am going to have a shower, dinner and then maybe look at some online craft videos. . .yeah I know I am truly sad aren't I. Here I am on a Saturday night looking at craft videos on the net. But if anyone asks me I can just say Oh I watched videos hehehehehehe. I don't have to tell them what they were lol that is just between you and me okay. . .secret squirrel business.

In the meantime. . . .
