Hello everyone
Well its been another week where I haven't
really seen my partner.
He was suppose to have 3 days off
at the end of the week
and he got called in to work for 2 of them,
so its been kinda lonely,
though I can get plenty of crafting done
hehe.
Then yesterday was just a disaster from
beginning to end.
1st broke the big FishTank,
2nd the Clutch starts to go on the Car,
3rd lost the Stone from my Engagement Ring
while out shopping (for the new FishTank).
Anyway this week I decided to try something new
with my card.
I enjoy a bit of painting on Canvas
in different mediums with
Acrylics, Oils and Watercolours.
And I thought this Image looked so much
like a painting that I wanted to 'Paint' it.
And with the time of year now it lent itself to the
Autumn/Fall colours.
Here is my project for this Week:-
The Theme at
Glitter n Sparkle is:-

Using Oak Brown pre-embossed Wood Effect Card,
(stash)
I cut four 2cm and four 1cm strips.
Using the 2cm Strips I punched them out using
my Delicate Lattice Border Punch
(Tonic),
and cut them to the sizes I needed
for the Inside Frame,
2x 11cm and 2x 7cm.
The 1cm strips I used as the Outside Frame
2x 14cm and 2x 19.5cm,
then mitred the corners to fit each other.
To finish my Card off I added
Silver Bobbled Peel-Off Strips
around the edge of the 'Frame'.
