The Shabby Tea Room- Week #207

Hey everyone,
Just another combined short post today, only because I'm having to use my fathers laptop. Currently I have broken my laptop and my phone so connecting to the internet is a real problem, however I am here and writing to you!
This weeks Shabby Tea room project is right up my street! Its names "Wishi Washi", heres the picture we were given:

I adore this photo! Washi features mostly in my scrapbooking and smashbooking, so adding to my cards was a new concept to me. Of course I'm adding my Shabby Tea Room pieces with MojoMonday sketches. Heres this weeks:

                                                          

The idea of using a tall and skinny card has hit me before and I have tried using them, however the dont sell as well as I thought they would. However, being as keen as I am to do these challenges, I took the bull by the horns and made this! 

                                       

EDIT: Here is the card on etsy!

Of course I couldn't finish this post without showing you all my little haul that came through the post from Hobbycraft.

                                    

I bought myself some more card bases (square and c5), Mothers day themed flower decopatch, Gems, pearls and Tim Holtz Distress Ink. This made my day when I was feeling so yucky!

Thank you for reading today!

It's me again..

Hey all!

It's me again. I've not been very motivated this week, felt very down in the dumps. However I was able to make a few things. I've been reading Docrafts Creativity for a while now as you know and yesterday I decided to have a go at a card layout which inspired me. I dug into my dads paper box and nicked a few bits of trasing paper to emboss. The effect was amazing and inked it looks great! Bare in mind when you dry emboss tracing paper, it cracks. Doesn't make the design any less awesome though. Here's my tracing paper card:

Doesn't the flower and embossed oval look amazing! Not to toot my own horn or anything!
EDIT: This card is now on etsy! Take a Peak: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/179572332/dry-embossed-vintage-themed-blank-card?ref=shop_home_active_2

I've also made these this week:

Thank you for all being on my journey of creativity! See you all soon.
