Good Monday Morning Ladies,
I hope that you all had a good weekend and are ready to start another week. Today is the last day of September which seems crazy, to think that at the beginning of this month we were laying on a beach, it seems like months ago! I think as we get into wedding preparations the months are going to fly by even faster.
We had quite a relaxed day yesterday, I collected all the seed pods from the sweet peas, potted up Geraniums and fuschias to go into the greenhouse for winter, then I saw how cluttered the greenhouse was so I ended up reorganising that, while Paul was doing some weeding. We called it a day at lunchtime as we both felt a little unwell, Paul woke with a headache and felt congested and we both fell a little achy, fingers crossed it doesn't turn into anything bigger.
I finished today's card yesterday afternoon, I made the background a couple of weeks ago when I made this card.....
This background had the faux batik added too.
To finish today's card I added some gold splatters from my Gansai metallic paints.
I tore a strip of vellum and stamped the Autumn verse in Versamark and added Gold embossing powder and heat set. I secured the vellum at the back of the coloured piece and then added a touch of gold ink around the edges, then adhered this to tje white base card. I really love how this background turned out.
I hope that you all have a great start to the week,
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx

Hello all, cold again and showers.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, wish I could do lovely neat cards like yours.
Sorry I missed yesterday, completely forgot, lovely cards from Karen and Maria.
I have been watching a lady from Germany I think, making an art journal from a paper bag( large one from shopping) and fabric which were attached using her sewing machine. Will watch the end and see if I can use any of her ideas.
Have a new cleaner, she is nice, but very slow, takes double the time of my old one.
Have a good evening all, Lilian
Hi Sandra and all looking in. Gorgeous challenge cards yesterday. And I love today’s card too. I hate the shorter days but love the autumnal colours. This card shows them beautifully. Glad you had a good time on Saturday but what a rip-off about the drinks and canapés! Not knowing what is in them wouldn’t inspire you to hire the girl as event manager! Glad you got some gardening done yesterday too and hope you and Paul are feeling better today xx
ReplyDeleteBrenda, sending you very gentle hugs xx
Lilian, glad you have a new cleaner, maybe she will get faster as she gets used to the house xx
Anne, welcome to this lovely blog x
A day of sorting then Penny after school for me. I’m hoping to go and see Pop tomorrow all being well 🤞🏼Sleep well all. Take care. Love Sue xx
