Welcome to a New week

 


Good Monday Morning Ladies,  

Welcome to the start of a new week,  not the brightest of starts, in fact we have constant rain forecast until Friday!  We were tempted to put the Aga back on yesterday!! It adds extra warmth to the house and is brilliant to dry clothes over, it really throws out some heat.  I resorted to getting my heated throw out last night as I couldn't get warm. 


You are all so incredibly important my lovely friends ๐Ÿงก 


Today I am sharing a tag that started out a piece of card that I used to clean my stencil on,  I had used the stencil and sprinkled some Lindys Pigment powders over it and spritzed with water,  I did use paper towel to gently press the water into the powders and through the stencil,  the first tap was quite dark, ( i will share that another day)  for this one I spritzed the stencil with water and laid it onto a piece of card, I gently rubbed over the surface with a paper towel to transfer any residual powder,  I was delighted with what I got, so die cut a tag out of it,   then used Arden Creative Laurel Grove die cuts to embellish.  The black detailed areas are rub ons,  Ardens rub ons are great quality!  I added sentiment strips and some similar colour seam binding to finish. 

I hope that you all have a great start to your week, 

Love and hugs,

  1. I wish the weather would make its mind up Yesterday was better than today.
    Your tag is beautiful and reminder is so true but hard to realise at times
    Went to Craftea this morning It was quieter but still plenty to have a chat with
    Definitely having a nana nap as I’m exhausted after the weekend and we’re out dancing tonight
    Take care everyone xx

  2. Like you I couldn’t get warm last night, i got out of bed and put some bed socks on and John said would you like me to get a throw and put it over us which did help. But today he has got a blanket and put that on the bed, so I’m hoping tonight we will feel nice and warm, I’m reluctant to put the duvet back on just yet.
    Your tag is beautiful you have put so much detail on it.
    Keep well, hugs Brenda xxx

  5. Hi Sandra and all.
    A beautiful tag today. I love all of the details you have built up and the colours are gorgeous. I hope the packing goes well my lovely xx
    Sonia, Thank you for the info. Once the house is finished I will definitely have a go xx
    Lilian, great to hear you have already made some backgrounds. Sorry to hear R had lost another friend xx
    I hope everyone is keeping as well as possible this horrid damp weather! My joints are not good at all. Roll on some sunshine.
    We are going to make a start packing up my craft stuff tomorrow. It’s going to be hard but I am going to get rid of things that haven’t been used at all or a very long time ago. Sleep well. Take care. Love Sue xx
