Good Morning Ladies,
I hope that you are being battered by the awful wind and rain, once again!! The poor people that live the other side of Bourton on the Water (about 3 miles from us) are still trapped in their houses by the 30 + huge fir trees that fell a couple of weeks ago, they must be si frustrated, especially this time of year, they don't have phone or Internet services either due to the cables being down. They must panic every time the wind picks up!
You will have to zoom in to see the devastation, the trees are having to be sawn up one by one which is why its taking so long.
The girls and I popped into Witney for one last Brunch together before Christmas, it was really busy but really lovely to spend that quality time together.
Today I used one of the inky backgrounds that I made a month or so ago, I will share a photo of it below
Its hard to capture the sparkle (its the light bits)
I used Forest Moss & Bundled Sage Distress Sprays and Pumice Stone & Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Sprays and a few spritzes of water to create the background.
I used my Inkylicious Ornate Deer/Stag (that I had never used 🙄! To stamp the stag , I was thankful that I used my stamp tool as the background was Watercolour paper that was really textured, so I needed to restamp several times, also, because I used Oxide sprays the ink seemed to be absorbed by the oxide and wouldn't stay a deep dark black, do as I stamped the stag one last time I quickly added clear embossing powder and heat set, this made the black a lot more intense and gave a lovely shine too. I did the same with the sentiment, and finished the card with some tiny sparkles on the baubles.
I hope that you all have as good a day as possible,
Love & hugs to all of you,

Hi Sandra and all looking in.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a bit of quality time with Soph and Lucy xx
So frustrating for these poor people. I guess they are just thankful they weren’t flooded too.
I hope you all escaped with no real damage.
Another busy day here as I still have the last few cards to do then we are off to see Pop tomorrow.
Have a good day everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
Beautiful card That stag is one of the most majestic images I have seen
ReplyDeleteIt is horrible for those people but as Sue has said it could have been flooding too
Great to have brunch with the girls As much as I love seeing the boys I miss that quality time with daughter Life changes all of the time
We’re off to visit the graves today and leave a Christmas wreath
PS It is bright and sunny here but quite windy Our poor fence is still being propped up!
Take care everyone xx
Hello all, not had much of the windy weather, but it is forecast for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSon and grandchildren went home today, it was lovely to see them if only for a short time. They are growing up so fast, Oscar is as tall as me, not that I’m very tall.
Daughter is coming on Christmas Eve , so looking forward to see them, they are staying until the 27th so have to make the most of it.
Not done any crafting today, exhausted from yesterday, hoping to do some tomorrow.
Is anyone finding it so cold at the moment or is it me, have to put the heating on during the day . Goodnight Lilian
Sorry forgot o say what a great card Sandra, that deer stamp is one of the best.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone
ReplyDeleteGreat card Sandra, a very majestic deer.
Poor people that still can't get out, hopefully it looks better in a few days.
Being in the shopping centre today was packed with people. We both had a haircut and then walked around window shopping before got a few things in food way from Mark's for Xmas.
Lilian, try to have a rest now before your daughter coming. Let them help out. It's what we keep telling Sandra. If she does it or.....
Back home I just sat doing my crystal art, too tired to think of anything else so have to make cards tomorrow.
Hope you all had a good day. Have now a good night. Hugs to you all, Maria xx
