Turtle Soup - Scrapping Turtle Online Forum - Oct 5 Design Team Reveal

Hi everyone!!

So much happening right now with design team reveals left and right....

Here is my layout for the Turtle Soup Forum October 5th Design Team Reveal inspired by a sketch from the amazing Bev Code, anyone that knows Bev knows that she is super talented and super busy!!

 

 

 

 

 

The photo I might proudly state is one of mine, I have a 'thing' for taking photos of birds, butterflies and other animals, just love taking photos of the beautiful things around us. The gorgeous flowers are from Manor House, the die cuts are Kaisercraft Mosaic background and sizzix leaves and my favourite piece of the layout is the butterflies which are made of bark and dyed an orange colour.

 

Anyway that's it from me for today, hope wherever you are in the world that you are happy and spending time with family and enjoying life.

World Card Making Day - Turtle Soup Forum

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy World Card Making Day :-)

Make sure you head on over to Turtle Soup Forum to check out the amazing challenges we have to celebrate WCMD.

My challenge (and it was a challenge as I don't usually make cards ) is to create a card using up-cycled or 2nd hand items.

Here is my card, the up-cycled items that I used are the butterfly which I fussy cut out of an old Mother's Day Card, the water colour background was cut from a page from my 'practice' art book where I try out new techniques, the third item is the metallic embroidery thread which I found in a second hand store.

 

 

I haven't made a card in years so I was a little nervous, I quite like the water colour look on cards so im happy with the results. Thanks for stopping by!!!
