For my Aunty

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.

 I lost my lovely Aunty last week rather suddenly. Her name was Phyllis Chan.
She was an awesome and beautful lady.
I have some wonderful fond memories of my time spent with her and her family while I was growing up. 

 Aunty Phyl has 4 children, 2 Daughters and 2 Boys. All who now have families of their own. That not only makes Aunty Phyl a Mother but also a Grandmother. She was also a Wife, Sister, Daughter and last but far from least a friend to many people.

I am already missing her dearly. 

For her family I have made some cards to try and express my feelings and show my support for them during their time of grief.
I do hope that they convey the love and all of the memories that was flowing through me  while I was creating them.

For inspiration during this time I used the colours from Colour Inkspiration #CI30

 The Colour are Fresh Fig, Island Indigo, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Sky and Pumpkin Pie

The items I used to create with are as follows - Vintage Leaves and Leaflet Framelits (both retired) , Lovely As A Tree and Heartfelt Sympathy along with Teeny Tiny Sentiments and Woodland embossing folder.

Here are my Sympathy cards.

For my cards I wanted them to be beautiful  and elegant....just like my Aunty. But the cards also had to reflect the recipients as well.

All of the family has enjoyed the outdoors, whether it's for pleasure or for work.

I tried to make these cards also suit the season  as well as the emotions that are happening. The love, the loss and also the joy that comes with remembering.

I know that the wake will be not only a sad time for everyone, but also be a happy time. One where we share our happiest memories of Aunty Phyl. This not only helps us move forward but also helps keep her memory bright in our minds.

For Phyllis Chan.

A shining light that has now dimmed.

Her smiling face.

Her kind words and gentle touch gone. 

Always loved, forever missed but never forgotten 💞

Vintage Leaves -Tabs For Everything - GDP098

Welcome back everyone 😊

#KOCreationscards #Vintageleaves #Smooshing #Cardmaking #Gold #Autumn #Tabsforeverything #Embossing #Enamelshapes #Coffeebreak #Stampinup #GDP098

I am sharing with you all today a new set I have recently purchased called Vintage Leaves.
I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it in the Annual Catalogue.
The Autumn season has finished here in Australia and we are now in mid Winter.
But Autumn for me means brisk chilly days filled with a riot of colour.
My daughter and I love collecting leaves of all different colours over Autumn during our walks. She glues them to absolutey everything! lol. Me I just keep a couple and put them between the pages of a few heavy books where I keep other special flowers I have been given or found over my lifetime.

I used the Global Design Projects weekly challenge for my inspiration point and started creating.

Here is my card

Celebrate Love

#KOCreationscards #Vintageleaves #Smooshing #Cardmaking #Gold #Autumn #Tabsforeverything #Embossing #Enamelshapes #Coffeebreak #Stampinup #GDP098

My card base is Crumb Cake card stock with a layer of wood grain DSP from the Coffee Break suite.

To create my leaves began by smooshing an A4 sheet of thick Whisper white with Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie. 

I let it dry and then stamped my leaf images over the top.

#KOCreationscards #Vintageleaves #Smooshing #Cardmaking #Gold #Autumn #Tabsforeverything #Embossing #Enamelshapes #Coffeebreak #Stampinup #GDP098

When the leaves had all been cut I chose three of roughly the same shade and gold embossed over the  already stamped images. As I wanted gold highlights for my card.

I used metallic Gold Thread and wrapped that around the stems of the leaves. I wrapped this also around the DSP twice and coiled it under the leaves. 

The leaves are held in place with glue dots.

For my sentiment I chose to use the Tabs for Everything stamp and punch set.

To finish this card off and carry through the gold just that little bit more I added 5 metallic enamel shapes.
For the inside I added a small die cut leaf with gold thread looped behind and 1 metallic gold shape.
