The first of the items on my desk this week is a Mothers Day card, made with an Elusive Images plate, Morning Glory.It was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto an alcohol ink background, then coloured with Promarkers.The base card was covered with paper from the Papermania Antique Cream pad, the image matted onto dark blue card, then layered with foam tabs. Purple dotted organza ribbon tied around the spine. The sentiment was computer printed onto vellum, heat embossed, then attached to blue card with heart brads.
The second card using the same stamp, this time onto a pink alcohol ink background, matted onto pink pearlescent card. A sheet from The Far East paper pad was used to cover the base card.I used black peel-offs to create the line frame around the panel, and 3 small chinese coins added to the top right corner.
This is the card from last week with two of the fibre butterflies added. They were given anthers made from mizhuiki cord, with a tiny bead on the ends. I added a peeloff oriental sentiment, as all the stamps I have were just a little too big for the space.
The last thing I want to share with you, will probably have lots of you rushing off to your nearest branch of The Works!

Pretty cards, morning glories are one of my favoritest flowers. What cool canvases! Probably be a little far me to get some, but a neat idea to keep rolling around in the back of my brain. - Donya #123

Lovely cards. Lovely stamps. It seems that no matter what stamps you have you always fancy someone else's. Same with chips too - someone else's always taste nicer!! LOL!

Isn't it amazing that the same image can look so different just by changing the colours you use. I like the first 2 the best.

Love all the variations of that beautiful card! Wish we had a Works here but alas no such critter in the USA. Thanks for sharing! Vickie #69
Thanks fro visiting me. Love those cards - all of them are gorgeous. Do the canvases come off the easels or are they fixed.

Love the cards you have made they are beautiful. I too have been shopping in the works and bought some canvases! just the plain C6 ones though didnt spot any easel ones. Thanks for sharing.
What lovely cards,I hope you share your idea's with the easel can't wait.
Thanks for sharing.
Stunning cards Shaz. I love the subtle alcohol inked backgrounds which are the perfect contrast for how you've coloured the images. Love the finished card from last week too.
Those little canvases look really good - I like the small size of them. (I've just finished the one I was working on - with the fabric heart and will blog it later).
Thanks for your visit to my desk too x
Wow! I would love to see what it would be like if someone (besides myself) were obessive about putting things back where they belong. I think I might like it. Thanks for coming to visit me.
I have always wanted to try alcohol inks. I just can't justify the purchase since I don't really have a project in mind for them. Give me some though. I'll come up with something.
The stamp set is really pretty and the way you used them on each card is very nice...! Your work aread looks so lite and airy a good place to create in!
Spiffing cards Wolfie! And thank you for the heads-up on The Works!

Some nice stamps there, Shaz, and lovely spring colours. That and the sunshine this week must mean that winter is on its way out. Did Bec tell you that little Rosie has finally put in an appearance up in Derby? I am busy finishing off the card.
Hi Shaz,
Thanks for visiting my blog, love those mini canvases! Off to the Works tomorrow - lol!
Yours cards are lovely.

Your cards are just beautiful. I love Morning Glory, no other flower is so blue in the garden but it's great to see it coloured in other colours. The pink is so delicate.
Thanks for the tip on the scissors. I shall have a look out for those, I was using well used school scissors with no tip on them, if I'd know I was cutting so many I'd have taken my own in.

Shaz, your cards are so gorgeous! The mother's receiving these will be pleased, indeed. Love the mini canvases - wish I lived in the UK, then I'd be all over them at The Works!

Lots going on there all your card are lovely thanks for the peak. Aud
Your cards are each gorjuss! Love tat alcohol ink background, it complements the image so well..
Thx for visiting...
*smile*
Love the cards, especially that 3rd one; must find that embossing folder!
I love all the different cards with the morning glory. Beautiful!
Hi Shaz, Gorgeous cards! I've got a "few" of those easels stashed away too! They are great fun!
Your cards are simply stunning!
Lovely cards, and yes I love those easels! What a wonderful project you're going to make for somebody special! Patsy from
HeARTworks
Love your header! Stunning picture!
What a set of lovely cards - all so different but using the one stamp - and I love Morning Glory.
Your butterfly card is really pretty and I have a tip for you for antlers. Go along to a cake decorating shop and buy the stamens they use for the centres of flowers - make great antlers and less messy than fixing beads on Mitzi cord..
Hi, thanks for the comment on my WOYWW post.
You've got some lovely work displayed on your blog (had a bit of a nosey round lol) and I think its great that you share your bargain finds!!
Take care,
Charli x
Shaz, I'm in awe and inspired every visit I make to your blog. Your work is just beautiful. Those cards are gorgeous and your 99cent find is awesome. Doubt we have them here but I'm going to go have a look.
Your cards are stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing the how-to on them. Wonderful look at your workdesk.
Lots of lovely projects on your desk this week! I love the little canvases and can't wait to see what you do with them!
