I have a days annual leave for today and DH has gone to the Hospital for an X-Ray (to check that the kidney stones have gone). So I'm home alone :-)
This week my workdesk is a bit of a mess (by my standards)!
Ok, so what is going on... I found a stack of Lili of the Valley sheets that came free with one of the magazines a while ago & decided to have a colour with my ProMarkers, trying out a couple of techniques I found on You Tube. I was pleased with the results (you can just see a little girl in a yellow dress in the bottom left corner of the desk).
When at my last workshop at LLinda's Card & Craft shop in Laneham, Notts I found this great Spellbinders Impressabilities 'thing' called Butterflies and I just HAD to have it!!!! So I have spent some time last night & this morning playing and using the embossed/debossed impressions with Distress Inks to create cards.
Now I am just trying to decide if to leave it as it is or put a 'topper' or sentiment on top????? Any suggestions would be great.
I only have this morning at home before going back to LLindas for another workshop (this time 'Take a Set of Stamps' looking at different ways to use stamps) and I can't wait. I'm then off into Lincoln this evening for a Scrapbook Crop! So by the time I get home I think I will need to go back to work for a rest... it can be so hard work having a day off.
Well once I have posted this I'm off for a look around other desks.
Happy WOYWW ;-)
great looking desk. Love that impressibilities thing. Hope you have a great week and thanks for sharing. Don't forget my blog candy is still up for grabs so drop by and leave a comment and make sure you are a follower. Vickie #64
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous Impressability - wait until you see the new double embossing folders they have. Got a chance to play with them when I was in America. Brill! You will love them.
ReplyDeleteMind you I like the ones you have been using as they can be used in so many ways.
thanks for sharing.
You still have time to sign up for my blog candy - it ends tonight - Hugs, Neet 29 xx
Love your desk and the coloured LOTV. These stamps are so cute :-) For the embossed card I think you can place a sentiment at the bottom on the right side. In this case you can think... Less is more. Thanks for sharing and have a happy WOYWW. Bye, Franka
ReplyDeleteI would cut out a square in the middle to reveal white card with a darker single flower to echo the flowers in the background. But as I'm not a cardmaker/stamper, what do I know?? LOL!! It's a gorgeous image though, very William Morris :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #72 xx
I love that card - I would think that a simple yet elegant topper would finish it off perfectly. :) Enjoy your day off! Fingers crossed your OH is stone free.
ReplyDeleteHad a good visit to your desk. Thanks for the reminder of the IMpressabilites. I have several and a light bulb went off that I could use these on one of my canvas projects. Thanks Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLovely job on the coloured LOTV image, lovin that embossing folder, Have a great week, Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeletelove to see your creative desk!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday :-)

Your colouring looks fab! I never got into the impressibilities but that looks really interesting! It doesn't need much more than that maybe just a sentiment - would make a good thinking of you or get well card.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!

ReplyDeleteGreat work space Have a great week Lou x @#91
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me take a peek at your desk, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteHi Helen
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late this week - ever felt like strangling British Telecom?
Thanks for reminding me that I also have that freebie pack of LOTV images - just have to find them!
Love the embossing - I'd probably just add a sentiment as it's so beautiful as it is. But, what would I know, I often fling too much at cards :(

lunch lady Jan had a great idea! Go for it! Lovely piece and blog. needlewings#56
ReplyDeleteLove that, would wrap a ribbon round the bottom 1/3 the way up then mount it on a card
ReplyDeletenice to know a lots of friend follow you blog.
ReplyDeleteThe little girl is beautiful so pretty. I would definitely put something on the card just not sure what.
ReplyDeleteLove that background, I'd keep it simple and maybe just add a sentiment to it. Take care, thanks for sharing & enjoy this WOYWW. Zo xx 86
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done with your impressabilities thingy (what is that called, a plate? a die?). Maybe a nice wide silk ribbon with a knot tied in it around it? It is very sweet. Lots of things to play with on your desk.
ReplyDeleteLovely so far! I think I would just stamp a phrase and diecut it, place it in the bottom third (right side). Perhaps wrap a ribbon round underneath the phrase die cut to ground it.
ReplyDeleteThe little coloured image looks very pretty.
I've got some of those printed images, they've just issued some more as well! As for the card, personally I would stamp a nice vintage figure and add it to the bottom right, maybe with a tiny tag and flower or similar. You certainly don't want to put too much on there, it looks beautiful as it is

Lovely card, I think some kind of sentiment or something would look nice - I like putting a single on mine with sentiments etc.
