This time the call was for Diamonds / Jewels for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine and I realised that I had not one….. sadly. But I got creative and this is what I came up with, it’s hard to see in this below average photo but each section of the diamond is a shaker… so cool!
Loving the sentiment too which is a wood veneer from Freckled Fawn, they have such fun embellies. Have a great day,

Sadly this is my last post as part of The Alley Way Stamps Youtube Specialist team, and I gotta say that it really has been a blast. This has been truly one of the most social, fun and organized teams, and I know that I will miss them all. So today I thought I would share a card to send my love to the team (especially to Ali and Chrissie) and beware, I will totally be blog stalking.
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

Here is the inspiration for this month’s challenge…
I liked the bold colours and the simple funky designs so I used MFT’s Modern Blooms again… and a new scripty die from Lawn Fawn. You could even use this design for a Chrissy card if you are feeling the ‘bold’ness.
I had a little trouble photographing this little number so here is a close up of how I used the acetate to add the centre of the sentiment on my popped up panel.

It’s been so long since I’ve used ribbon that I’d forgotten how nice it can look and I especially like it with this gorgeous bride from Penny Black. This is a card that I was lucky to have published by The Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for a ‘ribbon’ feature.
I’ll be back in a couple of days with another video, so glad you could visit.

As soon as I saw this set at TAWS I knew just what I wanted to do, create my own word background, although there was a little moment of debate where I did consider using a colour instead of the black… but in my mind’s eye it was black, so it stayed that!

Loving the Luxe, it’s so creamy and it’s actually quite different to other pastes as it seems to sit lower on the cardstock… almost like a foil (but easier). This card is for Scrapbook Boutique and I created a video so you can watch how it came about.

I’m pretty sure this one started with the rosettes and it just all got a bit modern from there. I’m not sold on the blending in the background, but it’s there now and I don’t detest it (otherwise it would have been for the bin lol), but I do adore the colour of the Platinum Stickles!

This video is for The Alley Way Stamps and I gotta say this fish really makes me smile and well, what more can I say… love a him/her version! I was also thinking about it after, that a little tulle in her ‘hair’ would’ve been cute…

So I wanted the ‘pencily’ look and now I’m not so sure… what do you think,maybe my usual bold and bright might have been better? I had fun though and it doesn’t hurt to stretch those creative urges, I have enough stuff here to stretch them for years… but apparently I still ‘need’ more, just ask my friend Paypal, good bloke that one, I don’t even have to leave my seat (go figure). Now to business….

It seems like I’ve started a new series called ‘By Request‘, it’s quite happened by accident but it’s been fun and given me a little focus, so let me know if there is anything you want me to show or try, as most of the cards I make are created while videoing sometimes with lots of pre-thought sometimes with very little and lots of ‘winging it’ along the way (so a little direction may be good).
This card was a re-creation of this card HERE, and I know it may look very different but it’s really just the same technique with different colours and images.
