I love to
create different things when I have the time to really experiment… some times I don’t honestly feel like making
a whole card… but I feel like making
flowers… or cutting with my BIG SHOT.. which is working GREAT now.. new parts
and running super good… smooth as silk…
So this is
sort of card made from a few days worth of things that all started to pile up
on my work table… I had made a bunch of
roses… using Tim’s Tattered Pine Cone Die… love that one… never made a pinecone…
as I really don’t like the way that they look… but I LOVE the way the roses
come out… LOVE IT… I made about 4 dozen
of them…
sometimes I will make some buds… I will tear the ‘rose’ shape in half…
using the first part of the cut out and then using the later part… I hope you
understand what I mean… if you have the die you should be able to know what I
am talking about… this way I get two small buds from One CUT out FLOWER… you can see one of the buds on the top right
section of these flowers… 99% of my
flowers are made from white card stock that I have painted using different
inks, paints, etc… you see that is another thing that I love to do and that is
to create a lot of papers ready to play with…
The leaves were cut out by hand using a sheet of paper that I had
stenciled on… LOL… waste not want not… a
good motto…
Then I had
been playing with a Spellbinder die cut set that I hadn’t really ever cut out
all the pieces too… so I cut out all the dies… from the largest to the
smallest… and used 3 of the 5 here… I again used my newest little mini distress
ink pads with a round blending tool… love the way they put the ink onto the
paper… nice and I am very able to
control the flow of where I really want the ink to land…
I also love
to play with my Just Rite Stamps… and
so I had quite a few of them ready to go… some of them are my favorites.. this is one that was laying on my work table…
and so I inked it up and used it for this card… I do have the Dies to cut these
shapes out… but prefer to do it by hand…
??? Just love being a cut up… LOL…
Do you like
to buy unique pads of paper… I do… strange aren’t we..??? anyway. .I have a BIN of 6x6 pads… and love
to look thru them, and grab a background to use for a card or page in a
scrapbook… that is what happened
here… a 6x6 piece of paper was meant to
be in the background here…
Oh yes… and
a Cherry Lynn Butterfly… which I love, but will not be using these dies
anymore… read all about why in yesterdays blog…
So after
seeing all these things laying around in a bin ready to be used… I can make a
card in less than 10 minutes… as everything is done… just have to play around
with where you want things to go… and then find your glue stick… hardest part…
Thanks for
listening and reading all my words… I am
a wordy person… LOL… love sharing though
and I hope you enjoy it too.. Have a
GREAT day… and see you back here again
tomorrow…
Love, Light
and Peace…Bonnie
