Good Morning My Lovelies,
I hope you all aren't too washed away with all the rain, we had a torrential rain all afternoon and evening and have the same and worse forecast today, I am so pleased we put the Aga on last weekend for two reasons, its nice having the warmth as the constant damp does bring a chill to the air the other thing is bonus of its washing drying abilities! There was ne thinking I was super organised getting all of the holiday washing done and packed away!! No! the girls hadn't emptied their holiday cases, Soph had 2, one from Spain 1 from Maldives, I will do some but the towels can wait for a dry day!
Today's card, hmmmm! What a frustrating afternoon, I had played around with different colours of Oxide to create an Autumnal blended background.
These were the colours I decided to go with after playing with the darker two shades for a while.
So I created my background, then dried it thoroughly before stamping the Taylored Expressions In the Meadow stamp in Versafine clair ink, I added black embossing powder and heat set, then stamped the sentiment in same ink. I put this and another one I made to one side while Paul and I had late lunch when he got home from work, about 45 mintes later I created 2 black card bases and used my Scrapbook Adhesive tape runner to adhere my inked piece to my background. This is where I made my mistake, after an hour or more of blending, stamping, embossing etc, I stuck the inked piece to the base card and gently pressed down to make sure the glue made good contact with the base card and smudged the sentiment fully into the very light antique linen ink at the top of the card !! 😪😤 I could have wept !! Fortunately this card wasn't so bad and I managed to salvage it, it isn't perfect and had I got more cards ready I wouldn't have shared it but hey, we are all human and none of us perfect, right?! The other one was a total mess though, I am still working on a solution to fix it, so watch this space!
I Hope that you all have a good day,
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Hello, sun at the moment, but we also have had a huge amount of rain, it was torrential last night.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn’t get in yesterday, just forgot, I am getting so forgetful these days, I am blaming it on the tramadol.
Glad you liked my card took me ages to get a good solid white.
Still trying to do my tag for this week.
Have a good day all, Lilian
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Sandra. So annoying when these bobos happens isn't it but they do for I managed to get red paint on mine but hid it with some leads. I think that's why butterflies exist 😉🤣
Home alone this afternoon. OH has gone to football and won't be back before midnight. I've nearly finished a card so this afternoon I'm doing a bit of crystal art but not for long because the back telling me off that it's not a position it like to be in. It's raining again.
I hope that you all have a nice day. Take care xxx
I really don’t know what’s happening to my comments just lately!
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning Lilian
Out dancing at mo Hopefully tomorrow will be better and this will let me publish xx
