Kathy's Waffle Sketch - September 2011

Kathy's created another fab sketch for us to use over at Kathy's Waffle Sketch File:-

As I've been seriously bad on the Christmas card making this year I thought I'd best get another one done for the pot lol.

Here's my card:-

Daring Cardmakers - (What's the Story) Morning Glory.....

It's the first Friday of the month so that means it's time for the Daring Cardmakers Flower of the Month Dare. September's flowers are the Aster or Morning Glory.

Here's my 'Aster' card:-

Martha Stewart Around the Page Punches

Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

Bazzill Card Stock

Wooden Bucket Stamp - Stamps by Judith

Coloured with Copics

Spellbinders Foliage Dies

Butterfly and Flower Punches

Oval and Scallop Oval Punches

Sentiment - Craftwork Cards

Self Adhesive Pearls

For the Main Aster Flowers I used Plain White Pearlescent Paper from Craftwork Cards and coloured it with Copics. Cut strips of paper and fold in half long ways and then snip along the length of the paper towards the fold without cutting through the fold. Then roll and glue along the bottom as you go along. The yellow centre is obviously just a narrower strip than the rest of the flower. When you've rolled the flower and the glue has set simply shape by pulling the petals downwards.

We'd love to see your September flower creations so why not join in - pop on over to the Daring Cardmakers Blog to see what the rest of the team have been making for inspiration.

Wonderful Warren and Friends!

Just as I was starting my break this month, through the door came my Project of the Month Kit from Craftwork Cards!!! I made the big mistake of opening the parcel - it is fab-u-lous. It's just full of wonderful Warren and Friends Christmas loveliness. I just couldn't resist the urge to have a play and here's what made:-

You may have already seen them over on the Craftwork Cards Blog but I wanted to show them here just in case you haven't. Hope you like them and thanks for looking.
