Good evening fellow crafters,
Hot, hot, hot!! We are only 3 weeks into spring here in Australia, and already we have temperatures in the mid 30sC. The grass is dead, brown and tinder-dry, and there are constant hot, dry westerly winds. There are widespread Total Fire Bans, but there have been major bushfires in many parts of NSW already, so we are dreading what sort of summer we are in for!
Australia is certainly a continent of extremes, as expressed in Dorothea Mackeller's famous poem 'My Country'..."...of droughts and flooding rains...her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me". The poet was English, but grew to love Australia, and wrote the poem while living just a few kilometres from where I live.
At Penny's Paper Crafty we have a new challenge for you.
Our theme for this week is
'Waterfall Cards'
There are lots of tutorials on the internet on how to make a
Waterfall card. However, if you don't wish to try this technique,
you may make an
'Easel Card'.
Our challenge is kindly sponsored this week by
and
I was given Polka Dot Pals Daisy digi stamp, by Little Miss Muffet Stamps,
and this is what I created with her.
My 'waterfall' is straight IRL. I added Crystal Stickles to every
butterfly on the designer paper.
A closer look at Daisy with her bag and balloons.
I coloured her with my Promarkers.
Rather than stamp images on my 'waterfall', I cut out
butterflies from the designer paper.
Inside my card with more cut-out butterflies, this time in profile.
