Good Monday Morning Ladies,
As I am writing this we about 40 minutes from our hotel in folkestone, we are trying a new hotel tonight, as the last two years at the Premiere Inn have been a complete waste of money as the rooms are so hot, the heat wafts in your face as you open the room door, both last year and the year before people were sleeping on picnic benches in the onsite pubs garden!! It's over £100 a night too, fingers crossed this one will be different.
Today I am sharing a Thrinchie I made last week, now I had to improvise as I didn’t have the mask for the wider tree, so I stamped the tree stamp onto masking paper and used a knife to cut the tree out, leaving the square around it to mask off the rest of the thrinchie. Ooh but first I stamped the bubble stencil onto the thrinchie, added white embossing powder and heat set. Then I put the tree stencils over the area and pounced 3 colours of Dina Wakely paints through the mask, keeping the paint light so it doesn't leak under edge of mask. I had the skinny tree stencil/mask so I positioned so it looked like the skinny tree was behind the bigger one. Once paint was almost dry I went over the embossed areas with damp kitchen paper to remove paint from the embossed areas. I stamped some tree twigs at the top of the card and stamped the cat. I grounded the cat with shading and added some white splatters.
I will update you as our journey continues, the cooler weather was very welcome yesterday!
I hope you all have a great start to the week,
Love & hugs to all,
Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra and all looking in.
ReplyDeleteA lovely Thrinchie. Your masking worked really well didnt it. Love the colours you have used and the cute little cat.
I hope the new hotel was much better for you both. And I hope the one tonight is good too my lovely xx
The weather is a lot cooler today here. But still nice and warm.
I’m just about to go downstairs. Woke up with a migraine this morning so have slept the day through and will have a quiet evening with Chris. Take care. Love Sue xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove your Thrinchie 😊 Something to add to the list of things to do.
No time for crafting today, as I spent the day doing housework - thank goodness it was so much cooler!
Glad you have arrived safely at tonight’s hotel. Hope you have a better night 🥰
Hope everyone has had a good day
Sending hugs to you all xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove your little thrinchie. The stencil worked well. Hoping that the journey is going alright and you both can feel the stress falling off you the closer you get to the camping place.
Karen, oh I'm sure you enjoyed that cannoli, they were very tasty 😋
Lilian, thank you. I wish that someone could help you more but if your doctors are like mine then they just throwing pills at you and hoping not to see you again. I wrote on engage today and wow I got an appointment face to face in three weeks time. To have a blood test tho I have to wait 8 weeks for !?
I had some news today. My mum's bladder cancer has not gone anywhere else it seems so that's good but dad had a few days in hospital again but back home tomorrow.
Not too hot today so that's nice so we can all sleep easier. Hope you're taking care. Hugs to you all xxx
