Chi, Sui, Ka,Fu,Ku...

Hello there, Oriental Style is the challenge over at the Fashionable Stamping.


I wrote you a Haiku poem to go along with the story LOl...

clouds bursting open
droplets glistening green leaves
lustrous swans below

I used these Crafty Individuals stamps behind my swan cameo and on the inside...

I used the sticker from the front as a mask , and highlighted the paper's grain by rubbing ink on it for the inside left.

I hope you join in the fun!!! Thanks for peeking, kisses G.

EDIT: I made this pouch for it after posting this, I used the same set of stickers but with glimmers mists...

Birds and Blooms Window Card...

Hi Peeps, well, I just had to play again at Out of a Hat Creations; Summertime...this time to include my birdies , which is a big part of my summer pleasures, especially watching and hearing them bathe in the bird bath...

I made a window card by recycling a Kleenex box ( since I don't have any of those fancy machines ! ), keeping the tab on the side to create more movement to the card. Since it is an oversized card, I recycled cereal boxes to use as cardstock...

I used these gorgeous feathers all around the frame:

Distressed some lace to use around my flowers ; thinking of a bird's nest.

For the flip side of the frame, I embossed in green and gold.

I fell in love with this image when I saw it as a free download on Trisha's blog French Kissed...I love that the writing is in french!!!

 

Thanks for peeking, love G.

Dragonflies, Butterflies and Blooms...

Hey Peeps, does this sound like SummerTime to you ? That is the challenge at Out of a Hat Creations this week and this is my card; I had fun taking my pictures outside in my garden...

•  Our Creative Corner is celebrating its 10th anniversary, so I used 10 gems on the front of my card, and a total of 10 pieces of fabric..

Morning dew; a.k.a. glossy accents , lol...; isn't this paper gorgeous from Crafty Individuals?

I glimmer misted my tag and made a pocket; I tucked in some flowers that dry beautifully.. On the flip side I used a garden leaf as a mask.

For the inside, more of the same fabric, some burlap, tag, lace and an embossed dragonfly with pearls..

I tied the card with some purple and blue rafia....

And the envie; I downloaded the tags for free ...https://www.facebook.com/PrimaMarketing

Thanks for peeking and have a Fabulous Week-end....kisses, G.

In Sympathy...

hello, just sharing a simple card I made for a blogging friend who lost her FIL at the ripe, young age of 87....

My Fairie's Fantasy Dream World....

What would your Dream World look like ?

Well, you always need your Best Friend, and this fellow looks sympathetic wouldn't you say ?


.And there is nothing more calming that being in water....But you would need wings to explore and discover ...








Of course you would have pinks flowers with pearls as the centerpiece

In fact, you would have pink just about everywhere in your Dream World...And your seashells ? well, glittered and glossy of course !

I am entering Make my Monday challenge : fairies and/or fantasy or anything dream-like ...

My flower of the Day, Astrantia....well , it has to be pink !!!   LOL...

Thanks for visiting ...love, G.

L'Amour pour la Vie...

Hi ladies,  as much as I loved the challenge of making all those masculine Cards for Father's Day

( which BTW were all sold !!!), I am so happy to be back playing with my Roses and Lace .

I am entering this second card into The Sugar Creek Hallow Challenge, More is better!!! which is definitely my motto...

At The Shabby Tea Room , the theme is Diamond's are a girl's Best friend, and we are to create a card or project inspired by the colors in this photo and use pearls and or crystals..

Depending on who buys the card, I have a small sticker that says Precious love or l'Amour précieuse.

The gorgeous stickpin was gifted to me by my lovely blogging friend Starr...from the Paper Chase...I have been hoarding it for over 6 months LOL, so I figured it was time to give it up...

This is the inside...

Edit; this is the fabric pouch I made for it:

 

Thanks for peeking....Bisous G.

Le Thé est servie dans le Jardin Maman Laurette...

Hi there, the challenge over at the Sugar Creek Hollow this week is MORE IS BETTER !!! Yes, my sort of challenge...load on the embellies...

My wonderful, generous blog friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me these gorgeous Scrap Cake papers....oh my, oh my they are delicious. I had never had a chance to play with them before; they are nice and thick like the Prima papers..

I embossed the tea cup with two different colors, moving the powder around as I melt it creating more dimension and variation in color; for the heart I used only the greenish blue color, then stamped

it. I made a little table to sit the pot on...

This is the inside :

 Thanks for peeking and I hope to visit soon....hugs, G.
