GooMonday Morning Ladies,
We are starting February with some very chilly weather, luckily we were blessed with sunshine fir our trip out today, the girls had the weekend off and wanted to spend the day at Costco & Ikea, lord only knows why Costco!!! Lucy's needed some bits and Soph did too, Lucy had bought something that is meant for storing carrier bags , she is turning it into vinyl storage. Sophie bought some storage bits and so I am looking forward to seeing her organising her room.
I made this card on Friday, as it was in a Stencil set that I had yet to use. I thought it would make a great 6 x 6 card, I used the colours that came in the Crafters Companion stencil & stamp collection that (I got as a bargain on a Facebook selling site) The colours weren't very wet, so I'm not sure weather to use them again. I like the stencils but some of them have very intricate middle bits that refuse to lay done when inking which was so frustrating! I think if i used my temporary adhesive it would leave marks on the previous layers of inking, it's a bit annoying at the least, I have another 2 sets of this same collection, fingers crossed the inks are ok in them.
I don't think this one turned out well, the inking doesn't look as detailed and sharp as the perfect picture on the packaging 🤔 however I like the colour combination.
I'm sorry if none of this makes any sense, after a busy day out, I kept nodding off to sleep between paragraphs 🤣😂
I hope that you all have a great start to the week,
Love and hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteA pretty card today 😊 I love the purple and lilac.
Frustrating the inks weren’t very wet, fingers crossed the other sets are ok.
Sorry I didn’t get in yesterday, again a lovely selection of cards on display, and I love your magnet Lilian 😊
We had a lovely afternoon yesterday with James and Teddy 😍 sadly Mollie was working so we didn’t get to see her.
I hope you all had a good weekend and have a good day today
Sending hugs to you all xxx
I like your card I especially like the watercolour effect and the colours are gorgeous I have a couple of Sizzix ones and use DO I will try DI at some point as I think they are more vibrant - less chalky looking
ReplyDeleteYour day out with the girls sounded lovely I like browsing etc
The Faulty Towers Experience was hilarious A real laugh out loud experience It takes a lot for me to really laugh but I thought it was hilarious The food was good too
Off to Craftea now I enjoy going and seeing other people’s work We bounce off each other and it gets me out of the house
Take care everyone xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI think this card is gorgeous, I love the purple and it's like it's painted without lines. 😊
You must have been exhausted after your outing with the girls but also lot of fun . No wonder if you nodded off while writing the blog 🤭
Karen, where did you find the faulty towers experience ? Would be a great present for OHs birthday if it's still on.
Have been cleaning and wiping down things most of the day so now we are ready for our visitors tomorrow, sister in law only but 😉 now I can't move this evening but it's good to have it done 🤗
Hope you all have had a nice day. Many hugs to you all, Maria xx.
Hello, late again.
ReplyDeleteThe card is lovely, love the colours you have used.
Not been great today, so have not done much, but sit and crochet.
Hoping to get something done tomorrow.
Have a goodnight all, Lilian
Hello Sandra and everyone, I really thought I’d left a comment already today. I just thought I’d check well all I can say is it must’ve been in my dreams ha ha.
ReplyDeleteLove your flower Sandra and the layer defect. I must go through my stencils because I’m sure I have something similar. I can’t remember I used it a couple of years ago. Is that something else on my to-do list.
Your trip to IKEA and Costco sounds very interesting. I’m sure the girls had a great time and we’re pleased to have your company and advice.
Hope everyone has had a good day. My day was quiet reading and phone calls And just a few household chores, not too many.
I will goodnight my lovelies I’m off to bed now.
Sleep well Love Brenda XXX
