Les Grands Crues...

Hello there, I found this image in one of those fancy wine magazines; I mounted it on this really cool paper that looks and feels like cork, and has gold speckles....

Then I used a corner punch ,  my double loop punch for the side, glazed it,  weaved in some ribbon, a few old buttons, and Voila....A nice simple masculine card...

Check out this poppy from my garden that is just starting to open...it looks just like crinkled paper....so cool....you'll have to bear with me this summer with my flower pictures...LOL...I am an avid plant lover...

Have a great week-end everyone....love G.

My Bird Flying Free...

Hello, how is everyone today ?  I made another card for Father's Day, but it didn't turn out the way I had anticipated....Does that happen to you ? I find it's too delicate for a man...

Having fun lately with my crackle paint...I  applied the cage so it is 3 D...

Aqueligia Nora Barlow from my garden....

Thanks for looking....hugs G,

Vintage Fashion...

is the challenge over at the Sugar Creek Hollow ....I am entering this week to support my blogging friend
Heather,  from My artistic Adventures,who  is now on the DT...Woohoo!!!

And over at the Artful Times Challenge it is ribbon and lace...

I saw a lot of female fashion as examples, all gorgeous, but with Father's Day coming up, and with a certain image in mind I went for a masculine card. When  I saw this image from June at the Olde Curiosity Shop, I knew right away I wanted to use him; doesn't he look devilish with a twinkle in his eyes....

Ripped the sides, inked, rippled; made a frame with MS triple loop punch, sprayed with coffee shop and aquamarine,  applied scraps of vintage fabric, lace and buttons.

applied to paper, then fabric. Made a watch with a Prima chipboard and a belt buckle

 added a ribbon and some beads to the side....

I am really happy with the outcome.....

Thanks for peeking and why don't you come join the challenges !!! Hugs G.

I spotted my first butterfly in the garden...

well, of the chipboard variety....lol

Entering a new challenge called THE GAME ; this week its TIC-TAC-TOE and I choose flowers, dry embossing and twine. My blogging friend June has made the DT so I wanted to support her...Bravo June !!!

Chinese coins, home made flowers, glimmer misted background, stained lace...

And my altered chipboard butterfly on which I used paint, ink, glimmer mist, crackle paint and embossing 

This is the body; isn't that cool ?

And the inside using the BF as a screen to glimmer mist....

Thanks for peeking....xoxooxo
