Go-to stash

I have been adding to my go-to stash when I have a few moments.  I know I should be starting on my Christmas cards.  I have a few to make but not really in the mood.  

I have been using some papers purchased from Aliexpress and having great fun with them. Using my graphics programme to change the colour depths and add borders etc.

Here they are:

The flower was decoupaged and I added some dewdrops.

I decoupaged the bee and the butterfly comes from Katy Sue.


The insects are from my go-to box of bits and the butterflies from a few places.

The die cut Hollyhocks (I think) were bought from eBay ages ago. I added the dewdrops.


I love how the embroidered flowers look so 3D after I had played with the colour density.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #135 - hosted by Jo

Surprise, surprise -  no La Pashe today.  I decided to have a look through my Card Hut CDs and graphics.  I always have fun when I get started with  hopping from CD to CD trying to decide what to do.  My son put them all in one place on my desk top so that I can use them like a palette

I have actually done the background on this card before, and is one of my favourites, but thought I would change it a little to bring - I hope - another smile.

Here is the card:  


I used the two CDs - 'Outdoors' and 'Splash' and my own graphics programme for the borders and colour changing.

Just to show you, this is the  one I did before with almost the same background.

I hope all are well and I am looking forward to another round of visits to admire your work.
