Today is the last official day of school holidays, and finally Canberra has shown us two days of spring weather. Prior to that we've had blustery wind, bitter cold and very wet weather. Most unpleasant. It's truly lovely to see Canberra so green though. Our hills, parks and lawns are usually a burnt brown due to the extreme heat of summer.
We have a brand new challenge kicking off over at Just Add Ink today - and some awesome fun news to share as well. I set the colour combo this week - Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride, Pumpkin Pie & Basic Black. What do you think of that?
I used a very cool technique that Jennifer McGuire shared some time back. I created my own glitter paper and coloured it in with copic markers - so totally fun. Even the black inlaid sentiment is glittered. You can imagine how glittery my craft room and I became lol. The coloured panel is popped up on dimensionals. I thoroughly enjoyed making this card and I encourage you to try it yourself. With a few basic supplies you can have yourself a lovely glittery time.
So did you participate in any WCMD activities? I got inky and creative and I've even photographed one of the cards I made - I know right? Shock horror! Must blog that next week so you can have a look.
Please pop over to JAI and check out our news today. Get some inspiration for the colour combo and join the challenge fun with us this week. We love to see your take on our challenges.
Not a lot in the way of news from me at all this week. No huge plans for the weekend except enjoying the lovely weather we're having. I'm guessing there will be bike rides around the local pond and some park time with the kiddos....I so love this time of year. Until next time....thanks for stopping by.

This is gorgeous, Patrice! Love that glittery paper and really must try that technique. BTW, I think you sent the crappy weather over here as we've had wintry conditions the last couple of days :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karren. Yep my dear gran in Timaru often tells me you get the weather we've had a day or two later. Sorry 'bout that :)
DeleteTotally stunning P! The colours against the black are so dramatic and beautiful and the sparkle must be amazing! Must try this technique:-) Enjoy the lovely weather - yes, it's so nice to see everything so green isn't it? Such a fab time of year.xx
