Good Morning Ladies,
How are we all today? I had a slow start to the day yesterday but seeing the sun beaming through the bedroom curtains was all the motivation I needed to push myself to get moving, after getting up and ready I had breakfast while browsing Pinterest for some inspiration, I decided on a couple of ideaa and also got some inspiration for a challenge!
I got into my craft room and gathered the bits that I needed fot the card. I faffed about making different variations to try and decide on colours, this took me a good 40 minutes. Now please tell me does this sound familiar to any of you or is it just my lack of skill ??? I got ready to stamp the detail onto the label, every one I stamped had either an ink mark or the stamp wasn't quite perfect but when I re-inked and stamped over the original it looked over inked, then when I went to pick it up I smudged it as it wasn't quite dry!!! I was about to give up but went and had a tea break with Paul and returned and stamped the label petfect first try, 😅! I set that piece aside to dry and got on die cutting all the elements of my card, I used the Lace Border die set to cut the pretty edge top and bottom, Floral frames stamp set and matching dies for the label and flowers and foliage. The colours I used are Very Vanilla & Soft Sea Foam. I finished the card with some little faceted pearls. I quite like the soft look of this card.
Paul is in the office today so I will be in my craft room, what are you all up to?
Sending my love and hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxxxxx

Your card is pretty SANDRA it is sooooo hard to keep a white card white. I faff for ages about colour choices, the design and it takes me at least 3 attempts to do a perfect stamp. xx

Hello Sandra and ladies,
ReplyDeleteLove your card Sandra, love that soft green it’s so classy. Hands up, yes ….. I also spend more time faffing over my projects than I spend actual making them. Glad to know I’m not the only one.
Maria hope your hospital appointment went well and you will get some answers and hopefully pain relief. xx
Lilian and Sonia pleased you did get some sunshine today, a bright sunny day is so uplifting, fingers crossed you get more sunshine for the rest of the week.

Take care everyone, Brenda xxx
