Flower Shop Card.

Happy Monday everyone!!

I made this card this morning. The flowers are from SU Flower Shop and matching punch.  The leaves are also from SU, Secret Garden stamps and dies.  (Thanks to Andrea for these!)

 I die cut the word "Hugs" first from pink card and then craft foam.  I adhered the craft foam under the card. This gives it some height.  The gold sequins are from Close To My Heart and are self adhesive.  I added the gold border (above) but took this photo before I did that - oops!  The first photo shows the finished card.

Playing With My Gel Press!

 I made this card using my Gel Press.  Once the paint was dry (it dries in a few minutes) I stamped the words (Quietfire Designs) and added some bits of grass as well.  I also added some self adhesive gold sequins (Close To My Heart), and the gold lines and corners.  I glued two Angel wings above the words.  This was a fun card to make!

Above and below are some more Gel Press images I did this morning.  The one above is very pretty in real life, and the stamp is another Quietfire Designs stamp.

 These butterfly images were done in white paint on black card.  I really like how they turned out and I will make them into cards, or maybe bookmarks.  I used a butterfly stencil for the pattern.

 Here they are close up.  Lot's of fun and I get different patterns each time.

 I took this photo below, yesterday.  These are Watercress, and Cress seeds.  The larger ones are the Cress seeds.  The very tiny dot ones you can barely see are Watercress.

And here, below, are the same seeds 24 hours later!  You can see the Cress ones have actually burst open and have little tendrils growing!  I used a close up lens to take these photo's, otherwise the seeds would have been too small to see well.  These are growing so quickly!  I have them growing on a damp/wet paper towel.  I sit them in the sun during the day so they get some warmth.  My two cats are very interested in what mom is growing!  I seriously doubt they will eat Watercress, but they like to check them out!

I haven't done much crafting lately  as I am busy doing my third Psychology course and it takes up some of my crafting time. But I am doing little bits of crafting here and there!

Random Stuff!

 This is another card I made using my circle Gelli Press.  There are some very tiny clear  sparkly gems scattered over the card,however they are not showing in these photo's.  Below is a close up of the card.

Below is what I stamped on the inside of the card.  Funnily enough, when I went too the Post Office to post it, they gave me a Butterfly postage stamp!  A perfect match for the card!

Below is a photo of my first Paper White that is flowering.  I have dozens more about to flower too.

Here is Mr. Blackbird waiting for some sultanas.  I feed them some every day.  I also feed the wild birds some Wild Birdseed.

Below is a closeup of one of the Paper White flowers.  So pretty!

 Above and below are the same view, but I took the top photo about two months ago.  I took the bottom photo this morning.  Most of the pretty red/rust coloured leave have gone and left the tree looking bare.  Still pretty though in my view!

No Covid19 in New Zealand!!

Yay, we did it!!  New Zealand now has NO active Covid 19 cases in the entire country!! This is awesome news! As of mid night tonight, we go down to Alert Level One which means things go back to normal.  We can go out and meet up with our friends and not have to worry about keeping our distance from others.  No more having to wear a face mask when I am out!  

I celebrated with Mini Pumpkin and  Cinnamon muffins I made!  OMG they taste delicious!

Ok, that's me for today, I have nothing crafty to post at this time.
