In between other stuff this afternoon I have made my first skinny page (3 inches by 5 inches) for this week's
Creative Wednesday challenge. The theme is "In the Garden". I decided this beautiful green scrapbook paper with pink petals was evocative of the garden so I have added some stamping (Autumn Leaves swirls and Hero Arts text), a vintage image which I have cut out with scallop edges scissors (I'm having a big revival thing at the moment with my old decorative scissors!), some gesso and of course some prima flowers anchored with a brad. The page is machine stitched to some lovely handmade paper made by Ann Lawson in Esperance.
And this is a card I have made for
a friend who is ultra-feminine and loves pink! It is a variation on my stitched collage cards - this one has beading and some of that lovely felt fusion stuff. You might have to enlarge the photo to see the beading around the top of the bag.
