Nobbys Beach Newcastle

I used to go swimming there many years ago. You can walk along the breakwater. It separates the Hunter River from the Pacific Ocean. The change rooms are very old but they have been done up. I went there on Monday 25th February. I bought some hot chips and had a coffee and sat and thought of many things from the past. It is only an hours drive from my new home to here.

card and envelope

I think the envelope that holds a card should be equally as exciting and creative as the card inside. In the cards and envelopes that I will add each day for a while the envelopes are the same as the cards. I have already added 2 I did using the Cuttlebug and Sizzix folders a few weeks ago. These ones are not using an embossing folder.
This card and envelope set was done using SALT cardstock and Kaisercraft paper and wooden stamp. The ink is pinecone. The flowers have been made using 3 freehand circles scrunched and turned and glued together. The stem and leaves have been freehand cut using scissors.

Flowers

This flower was made using 2 sized circles gathered-2 suffolk puffs. They were joined together using a button.

Flowers

This flower has been made from a Junkitz flower underneath and the ribbon on the top has been gathered and both joined by a Kaisercraft brad.

Flowers

The blue under flower is a Junkitz flower and the fabric on the top is a circle that has been gathered. Called a suffolk puff. The brad holds them all together.

Flowers

More layered flowers using Junkitz flowers on the base and Maya Road ribbon roses  on the top. The 2 are held together with a Kaisercraft pearl brad.

Flowers

Here is another flower I made with Webster's Bloomers, SALT paper flowers and gemstone brads.
