New Format Challenge

Well there are still lots of things I haven't tried for sure so I went for a search first thing this morning. Not even sure what this type of work is called but it all looked amazing here scroll down and click on greetings with patterns. The one I chose to make looked like the most simple to make but it has taken me all day--good job I had to stay in anyway for some parcels to be collected. The flowers are cut from the white sheet of paper then folded so that they stand up when the card is opened. I coloured my flowers but the self coloured ones look terrific.

Thank you to Just for Fun for getting me to learn something new and now I want to make another of these that is more complicated. Will have to stay in for 2 days I reckon.

    Be sure to show us the next one - this is pretty amazing stuff. Not surprised it took you a long time to cut it out, knowing me I would have snipped in the wrong place and "boom" it would have ended in the bin. Congrats on your new technique and thanks for joining us at JFF.

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
