Here's another wildcard 'doily' card, this time, I threaded grosgrain ribbon through the holes. The papers are all from Funky Hand's new CD Dreams Come True, and the little branch is one of the icons on the wildcard cartridge
The sentiment oval is by Craftwork Cards, I swiped it with a green inkpad, and I dotted the branch with pearls and green gems. the card was cut at 5 1/2"
I had a good old sort out of all my papers yesterday, now I have them in boxes according to colour, and I have kept the stacks together in another box. I felt quite virtuous when I was done, and I have a huge pile of cardstock/papers to give to my niece as well. How long it will remain organised is anybody's guess, I am a VERY messy worker.
How did I acquire all this stuff? I swear it's reproducing itself in my crafty cupboard. I found tubs and jars of mysterious stuff - powders, pastes, gunky stuff, that I have no idea how to use. I obviously saw some technique using them, somewhere, sometime, had to have them, used them once, didn't like the effect, so back it all goes into the cupboard with the other unused/unloved/unwanted/mysterious stuff. Now, the original purpose of the stuff is lost in the mists of time, and it will sit there until the next time I see a fabulous card made with it. What happens then, is that I forget I have some, go out and buy a new, expensive pot of gunky stuff, and the whole sad cycle starts all over again................
Mental note to self: do not buy any more paper, there is no more room in the boxes

Good for you! Congrats on the clean up. I did a clean up yesterday too. My oldest son and his girlfriend came yesterday for our Christmas. (They were sick)They gave me a beautiful box with metal handles. It's white and has Red and pink flowers. And inside, among other things, was the Martha Stewart pine branch punch! So I rearranged some things on my shelves to use my beautiful box. It holds my punches and other cutters. I love it!!! And I love your card too. Green is one of my favorite colors...along with all the others :) TFS
ReplyDeleteLovely card Ens. I like how you used the ribbon and gems. Talk about losing your stuff - I cannot find the power cord for my cricut, what am I going to do. Tried to find a new one at stores, HA. Guess I will have to try and order one on-line somewhere. Sure haven't been able to find a site with a number, etc. for ProCrafts, whats with that.
