WOYWW 84

to be honest, not much happens on my desk on wednesday as i am at work all day and dont get home until gone 6, then have to cook dinner. . .  the too tired to anything much except eat chocolate (next best thing to crafting). oh and blog!
anyway i had a good crafty day yesterday and this is how i left my desk.
i am fortunate enough to have a whole room. a friend sells some of my cards at work for breast cancer care but has run out so i need to do some quick makes.
the cards on the left are  made using shiney card and distress inks to make a sunset background and then stamped a sillouette with black stazon (idea was from craft stamper mag a while ago. i like the dragonflies best, they were partof a set of 6 stamps i brought in asale for . . .  10p. . . yes 10p. bargain huh!

the card on the right took a bit longer. i cut out the big flower using a quick cutz die (up cycled shiney card from packaging) and then used it  as a mask to make the background. the card was white but had amix of colours from the mask. i over stamped the background with a black swirl, added some gems and a paper flower and hey presto.

actually i think it needs something else, maybe the black should be smaller or less obvious, needs more thought i think, hey -ho.
maybe i should stick to eating choc!
