Absent purpose.

(Catchupmaggedon Post) So because I had all my oriental papers out to make the Get Well Soon Panda card, I thought I might make something fun using stuff that took my fancy from the stash. 

A quick disclaimer, it's not quite finished, I left off any wording so I could alter it to fit the purpose it was needed for. I think it would make a nice wedding card but could be just as nice for a birthday etc.

One of my friends gifted me these beautiful paper-cut animals on the thinnest of tissue papers. I have wanted to include them in a project for a long time. I think the paper set I used to compliment them is from Dovecraft, not completely sure though, it's an old 8x8 pad from the stash.

I think this is called a "book fold" card - I bought some blanks along time ago for it. Apart from needing a lot of matting and layering I think it's a lovely fold to use. Especially if you have a pair of images to use on the panels in the centre. It folds very flat for posting too.

Included a picture so you can see a bit more of the mechanics. Now I just need someone to send it too! 

Quick forest Card.

Wanted to play with my new Sue Wilson - Woodland Collection - Forest Animals dies. And have a go at forest bokeh!

I made the green bokeh background using distress oxides, a circle stencil from Witt & Sass and Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink.

Then I die cut birch trees using IO DIE079-u, Stag, deers and bird from the Sue Wilson Set and then grass using Lawn Fawn Grass border. I printed off a sentiment on the computer and added it to the bottom.

Added some stickles dots to lively it up at the end.

I confess I made another card before this using the same elements and it was a disaster. I was pleased I had another go tho, this one looks ok, but perhaps a bit too christmassy?
