Beautiful scenery card take 2


Morning!
Back with some sample ideas on the scenery card.
A few of you asked what this looked like.
You can see I chose scenery paper, then below cut 1/2" strips.


Layer up you card, then using dimensional dots add your 1/2" pieces to the card.


I didn't line up mine very well with this one! but you get it!



I suppose this shows you it doesn't have to be perfect to look decent!

beautiful scenery card


This is a fun technique to try.  I saw this demonstrated, you choose
a designer series paper that has a scenery.  Cut two pieces the exact size,
I cut mine 4 x 5 1/4".  Set one aside. 
Take your other piece and start cutting it into 1/2" sizes till you are done.



Now it's time to layer and adhere the pieces to the card. 
In doing so, you will leave a space between adhering each "slat".
You may have a few pieces left over. Just discard them. 
This is the end result.  It gives you a 3D effect. 
Pretty cool huh?


Just add your greeting and there you go, doesn't need much more to pop!

Perfectly peared...


It's was a perfectly pear weekend!
I pulled out this gorgeous paper and decided to try and use it as
I have been with many other designer papers lately.
The patchwork/guilting technique. 


I cut my card a regular sized A2 then used cut strips of the paper
at 1 1/2" each.  Take your adhesive and add pieces, they will hang
over the base of the card.  Just cut away the excess when you have the
card filled.  It's like a little puzzle and a great way for you to use
up your pieces of small amounts of paper.  
You can also cut your strips smaller if you like. 


This paper gives me Hawaiian vibes....
I used the aqua painter to color in the pear with coordinating ink tones.
Have you tried this technique yet?
If so,  send me off your pics!

Easter table setting




Better late than never right?
Sharing my Easter table setting for Easter. 
These napkins are so sweet.....


You can't tell in the photo, but these napkins are a sweet subtle
sage green color. 
I found these adorable plastic chocolate bunnies at Hobby Lobby.
They open up so you can fill them with treats. 


I tend to lean into using what I have on hand,
so out came the dried hydrangas I had on hand.
That cutie antique vase I found at Target. 


The wood Easter tomb I found at Walmart. 
Pretty simple table this year.
We had a wonderful day celebrating Easter with family and 
friends.




I made these deviled eggs and saw online how to cut the
little bunny egg.
