A Pretty Snippet


 Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

We have a very busy, possibly chaotic weekend ahead as we are looking after Harley, we are going to have to be extra careful this time as Bella doesn't need any added stress,  so we are going to have to close off the top of the stairs as our stairs have open balustrades that the little monkeys kept putting their heads through,  teasing Harley!   Paul is planning on cutting the lawn if it stays dry so that will keep Harley entertained in the garden, I will stay in and keep the cats entertained, it seems so unfair that they can't go out as they love the garden. 

I had a good crafting session yesterday,  I was home alone so determined to keep myself busy!   Soph came home from Lewis's around 2pm and we got on with baking some more Bagels,  her Sourdough Bagels were more delicious than any I've bought, so we made a bigger batch this time,  17 in all, although it was supposed to be 16!  They are huge too.  

Today's Snippet I made yesterday and really enjoyed this one.  I stamped the flower,  added a mask and then added the ferns, I used my Ecoline pens to colour the flower,  Deep Yellow,  Deep Orange & Carmine,  blended together with a little water and a brush.  I then took Salty Ocean distress oxide and water and a brush and added colour all around the stamped image, making those colours really pop!  I finished with a sentiment and a few splatters.  

For the challenge ......

I hope that you all have a lovely Friday,

Love & hugs to all of you,

  2. Hi Sandra and all looking in.
    Karen your card yesterday was lovely. I haven’t seen layering washi tape before so will have to have a look. I’m assuming they do “what it says on the tin”. Very pretty xx
    Sandra. Love your card today. The colours are so strong, but in a nice way, I just can’t think of the word I’m looking for! I hope Bella is ok over the weekend and Harley can be in the garden with h Pau xx
    Have a good day everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
