There is a new challenge starting on Gingersnaps today, GC99 with *fans* as theme. I made an easel card, using stamped geometrical forms on a background of patterned paper, a little stamped scene, and a fan made from some sugared, printed vellum.
And I made another three Japanese bookmark dolls, each carrying a fan. I used paper from the *Sasha* paper collection from Anna Griffin. The three dolls are up for grabs, if you would like one, please leave a comment, and say which one you would like. If more than three should be interested, I will do a draw.
And lastly, I made a third – and last – card for* Less is More*, although I think this one is a bit more than less! I have made an aperture card with an acetate window, stamped with 2 flourishes in Stazon black. The flowers have been stamped with Stazon olive and violet, cut out, and decoupaged. I haven’t decided on a sentiment yet.
So, that was all for today. Thanks for dropping in, look after yourselves and have a great day!
Lovely things, as always, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteLove your last acetate card Valerie... the effect of those flowers is super!

"Less is more"
You are becoming very adept at 'less is more' I must say. The fan you made from the sugar paper is super. OF COURSE I would ADORE one of your bookmarks. I have admired them before. Perhaps you could let me know where to find the instructions. Looks like something I would like to try. Enjoy your day, Valerie, and thanks for coming to my blog and leaving a little bit of you behind. hugs from Mexico, Donna
ReplyDeleteAll lovely work Valerie, think I may have a wee go at the new gingersnap challenge. Your bookmarks are gorgeous and of course I'd love one, but I got something from you last time so think it's only fair for someone else to get the treat! Super LIM card, very elegant! x
