Lillybet's Papers

Gosh it's been ages since I had time to create, but with NEW colours who can resist. This week's challenge is to use at least 3 of the new colours- I have managed to use all 5, but mixing new colours with old - and returning - tools. I had fun creating with Boho Blue      Moody Mauve      Pebbled Path      Copper Clay &      Wild Wheat. here they all are together I watercoloured a panel of Fluid 100 watercolour paper using 4 of the colours, and then had fun playing with the gold gilding flakes to add some sparkle. Then I  mounted it all on vanilla and finally Pebbled Path, which I think is my new go-to base card colour. The vanilla details are from Irresistible Blooms and the fern of course is from Nature's Prints .  You can find all of these in my Online Store This weeks inspiration photo this week is from   https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/823595850601253336/ what a fabulous pair of boots! ...

As I often say - It's just as easy to make 2 cards as it is to make one. So while I had all the ink and paper out on the desk I created a second design. You can see the first card published on Aug 17.  Folded flat it looks like an ordinary card. The front of the card hides an identical sized panel behind with some alternative stamping. It's also a great way to show off some cooordinating DSP.  for link to instructions see  Fancy Folds tab or here Such a fun fold, I'd love it if you share your creation with me. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Splendid Thoughts Bundle (English) [ 159677 ] $90.75 Nature's Prints Bundle (English) [ 158801 ] $98.00 Blending Brushes [ 153611 ] $21.75 Water Painters [ 151298 ] $23.00 Sahara Sand A4 Card Stock [ 121695 ] $16.25 Sahara Sand Classic Stampin...

The Double Front card is one of my favourite Fancy Folds and I like to create it each time there's a new catalogue out to showcase different papers, colours and Stamps.  You can find the instructions under the Fancy Folds tab at the top of this page under the blog header. I have plenty of other samples on the blog in this design. This one was created using some of my favourite colours - Coastal Cabana and Sahara Sand, and some of the beautiful Pretty Prints DSP  I'll have photos of the alternative version later this week.  The DSP from Splendid thoughts is really lovely with all the metallic pages. You'll find other samples and a link to the instructions here  - or just search the blog using " Double Front Card"f Do have a go at creating this lovely card style, it's a lovely way to use the DSP and create a card with a little surprise inside. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, L...
