Weird and wondrous creatures!

I have to say thanks to everyone that left comments on my last post......I was a little wary of showing it but I am happy it was so well accepted even though it re-inforced my weird taste!


So, onto something slightly less weird! A couple of cards featuring weird and wondrous creatures!

I used embossing folders and Pan Pastels to make the backgrounds for my cards.

 Stitched into the centres of the flowers with my sewing machine.

 Added electrical thingies, star washers and metal star flowers as embellishments.

 The image is from LOST COAST DESIGNS

 Stitching around the moon adds texture......

 Another strange creature......I really like this one!


PAN PASTELS are available from THE STAMP ATTIC.........below are sneek peeks of more cards using the Pan Pastel/embossing folder technique......you can see the full cards and step by step pics of the technique over on THE STAMP ATTIC BLOG

Great backgrounds, creatures and, love the addition of the stitching. I've got loads of these electrical thingies and had never known what to do with them .... thank you for the inspiration. I can't wait to try using them now. penny

LOVE these, Sue - Love Lost Coast and the stitching just adds so much to them. FAb little creatures - I love fantasy - and the colours are perfect for the atmosphere.

Love the little hood-feet guy. What an adorable creature, and you made him fit right in in the background. Too bad I can't stitch for the life of me. It adds so much to the page.
