CTC#238- Casing the colour scheme- how different colours can change a look completely.


WELCOME back - it's so good to be here again. I've been away and super busy lately with a 3 day river festival market in Rockhampton last weekend,  with stock for the shop, with teaching classes and with family - none of whom live close by. 
So it's lovely to be back and this week we are taking inspiration from the Garden Lane DSP colour palette- so many greens.
. 
I have a project which I have been working on to teach at Injune in central Qld next month so a few friends had a practice run today. Three ladies created the same basic design but you can see how individual differences are so wonderful, and how different background pieces change the whole look of the project.

The central panel  of 6x6" is watercoloured using only Mossy Meadow, but everyone's turned out different.
The magnolias are created from Whisper White with Daffodil Delight centres.
The individual sticks also shaped how each person's finished up based on where the natural curves of the stick privided the best spot for the flowers.

This is Katrina's on the Garden Lane background.




This is Sharon's centre panel on a green piece of DSP from the Perennial Essence pack of DSP.

But this is how she actually mounted it - the Opal coloured sheet of DSP from the Floral Essence paper - how amazing the change.

And this is Heather's placed on the linen look piece of DSP from the Pressed Petals Suite - I love this look- and I love how everyone's centre watercolour panel are quite different.


and this is it on a different sheet from the Floral Essence pack.

 I did also make a pink version but I'll show you that another time- but how sweet are the magnolias simply stuck onto a branch. Well When I say simple, it isn't hard but ti does take a bit of patience as the glue is drying!!
 Thanks so much for stopping by this week, I hope you get a chance to play with all the greens this week. Don't forget we love to see what you create, please share your photo with us on our Facebook page.


Before me this week is Judy

and Next on the blog hop this week is Siobahn

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

    Oh Elizabeth, This is magnificent! I love the way you've used the sticks, and I love the springs of paper along with the leaves and flowers. The background choices are simply amazing and glorious. What a beautiful project with stunning results. Thank you so much for sharing!!

    Beautiful project, Liz. I think the Garden Lane is my fave, but they are all delightful.

    Wow Liz, these are simply gorgeous. I love how each one differs depending on the stick that was used and the background DSP.

    Great projects Liz. Isn't it funny how different they can look using the same pattern, esp the water coloured centres.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
