Good Morning My lovelies,
We had a cloudy day yesterday so we did the girls favourite trip to 'L'Estartit' (tacky town), where they have a whole long street of 'looky looky' or souvenir shops, basically every shop sells the same things, the girls usually buy bracelets or anklets. The only exception to the souvenir shops is one that sells massive knives, guns, ammunition, crossbows, any weapon you can think of, it literally horrified me every time. We always have chips, churros and ice-cream when we are there (not all at once) the flavour choice is incredible, I had Turrin or Nougat, it was ok, I wish I'd had the Creme Catalan after I tasted it, maybe next time.
Today's card is kind of shades of one colour and a Silhouette card combined. I used an Inkylicious stencil for the moon/sun and blended the orange shades over the rest of the card, i then removed the stencil and brushed over the area just with what was left on the brush! I stamped the meadow stamp in black and added clear embossing powder and heat set. I matted onto white card and then onto an orange card base. I haven't decided what sentiment to add so I have left it for now.
I hope that you all have a good day,
Love and hugs,
Sandra xxx
The visit to the “tacky” shops has to be done Was there a “Chinese” shop that sells a bit of everything including some craft items as well as clothing I bought a beautiful top from one that I still wear!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely That sunset blend is gorgeous Funnily enough I have started an orangey card Must be this hot weather that makes us think like this!
I will finish the card today and need to make some blueberry muffins OH bought a huge pack from Lidl that I’ll never get through before the go off
Take care everyone xx
Hi, sorry I missed yesterday I thought about it but it was 1-45am so I thought it was a bit late. Loved yesterday’s card, is that colour night of navy, one of my favourite colours.
ReplyDeleteToday’s card is equally as beautiful, glad to see the sun on your card it’s cloudy and chilly here. Managed to mend my little plastic greenhouse, the wind had ripped the cover off and removed the top tubing, hope the tomatoes will be ok.
Hoping to finish my ironing this afternoon, so tomorrow I can craft.
Tennis is great ao I’ll be watching that,
Have a good afternoon everyone. Lilian
Hi Sandra and all looking in.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card. I don’t use orange very often but it works so well with the black silhouette.
You have to do the “Grockle” shops when you go away, it’s part of the holiday. I got a really handy style of purse in Corfu for Mum that she had been looking for over here for ages. I’ve never seen one anywhere else. I have it now and it’s perfect for when I go to a boot sale xx
It is hot here today after being a lot cooler yesterday when I put a pair of socks on as my feet were so cold.
Enjoy the sunshine. Take care. Love Sue xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI love this card, it's colour is fabulous and the black on it is perfect.
I love going to those Knack shops, you never know what you can find. Hope you could go to the beach again today.
Well done Karen for winning the bowls game.
Brenda, hope the visit to Marsden was ok ?
Lilian, glad managed to rescue your greenhouse and the tomatoes will be fine.
It's been a lovely sunny day here today so I have been sitting outside and read my book. The heat from the sun do makes my knees feel a little bit better .
Sending hugs to you all, extras for anyone who need some. Take care, Maria xx
Beautiful card the orange is lovely, perfect for this clean design.
ReplyDeleteHad a peaceful day today, should have gone out for lunch with friends but one is in hospital she had a fall and has injured her hip which will need operating on. Another has a serious reaction to long term steroids, she is in bed most of the day. So OH had the pleasure of my company!!!!
Tomorrow I have an appointment at the Royal Marsden in Sutton. Probably be out most of the day.
Hope your day will be more exciting .
Goodnight sleep tight, love Brenda xxx
