It's been a long time since my last post, but we are finally on with my craft room which means I will be able to get organised again for creating. I can't wait to unpack all my stuff . It's been in boxes for almost ten months now.
Anyway, back to business. Here is my DT piece for the new Craft Individuals challenge, 'Spring'
Spring brings to mind birds, green leaves and yellow daffodils, so I decided on a wall hanging based on my thoughts. The base was just a bit of old card which I painted with Jo Sonja paints and then added interest by using some old packaging dipped into the wet paint. I was really pleased I tried it as I love it when 'experiments' work out, especially when it's from recycled stuff.
A few days after I had made the hanging, I decided to dismantle it and use the elements on some cards...... here they are.......
I removed the letters first
then mounted the mini 'plaques' in a simple way with a few additions here and there.
All of the stamps used in this post are by Crafty Individuals
Ignore the double entry above. I tried to delete it but you know me and technology!
The card below was for a friend, which unfortunately, due to lack of time, didn't get given, sorry Steve, but we were thinking of you!
I continued making a few more cards as I was on a roll.
I finished by using a couple more bits and pieces I made at a class ages ago to create this card.
Hopefully I will not be too long before I post again with some more art journalling and photo's of my little craft room. It should be getting a coat of paint tomorrow and hopefully be ready for me to move into over the weekend. I did say 'hopefully'....

Stunning work. You can't go wrong with birds in my opinion, he, he, but your colours, images and designs are absolutely brilliant. Love your challenge piece but the cards are also amazing. Great stuff x
Adore your challenge DT piece and your cards are beautiful. Great to have you back, Annette x
OOOH so nice to have you back. I have even started blogging again, must be the new year!!
Those bird stamps look fantastic, along with all those pretty details you do. I bet you cannot wait to get your craft room sorted. I have just done a HUGE clear out of mine and it is easier to work in without being cluttered.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the snow.
