Good Monday Morning Ladies,
We have an early start today and a l9ng journey ahead but thats made much easier because I have the best travelling companion, I will no doubt be struggling by the end of today due to stiffness and pain but I am used to that, Paul makes sure that we stop often for toilet breaks and having a little walk about for our circulation! We will be listening to a fun selection of nostalgic music along the way too.
Now while I was waiting for Paul to finish the packing I got another card made, I went for a Distress oxide background using Broken China, Cracked Pistachio & Wilted Violet inks, I started by smooshing the colours onto my craft mat individually, spritzed well with water and dipping my watercolour card in, drying between layers, once I was happy with the inking I blended a little of the Broken China around the edges. Once I had made sure my background was totally dry I did a quick dusting over with antistatic bag. I decided on Hero Arts Leafy Swirl (I think), I inked it with Versamark and repeated as I think the ink gets more absorbed when you have used Oxides, after a good inking I used white Embossing powder and heat set. I love that delicate, swirly design over that lovely background. I finished the card with a die cut Hello and a printed sentiment.
I hope that you all have a great start to the week,
Love and hugs to all of you,

ReplyDeleteSandra hope the trip is going well. Hope your hotel is good tonight.
Todays card is so unusual, love the background and the white embossing powder, very delicate looking
Not much else doing managed to make another four cushion covers, bright fabric to lift the dull grey of the sofas.
Hugs to all, Lilian
Hi Sandra and all looking in. I love everything about this card from the gorgeous colours to the background to that beautiful delicate stamp and s lovely sentiment. I hope today’s leg of the journey has been uneventful for you both. As you say just having Paul all to yourself makes for a wonderful trip no matter how far it is xx

Karen, I hope you all enjoyed strawberry picking. No doubt some didn’t reach the basket 🥰 xx
I spent most of the day with Pop after having all of the grands overnight then swimming with all of them in the morning. I think, no, I know I will definitely need a good nap tomorrow afternoon 😴 Lovey to have time with them all 🥰
Sleep well everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove your card Sandra. Very pretty with the white embossment of flower's.
Hoping the journey goes well and you are staying in a good place tonight. Hoping that Rebecca is alright and it's all went well.
OH and I drowe a short distance to a village this morning, Winslow ,just to see something else and to come out a bit. It wasn't much there but we had a cuppa in a pub anyway before we went back home. I did some crafting at last and hopefully I can make some more tomorrow.
Happy you all had a good day, sleep well tonight. Many hugs, Maria xxx
Hello Sandra and everyone
ReplyDeleteI hope by now you are both relaxing at your overnight stop over.
Today’s card is really beautiful, I love the colours you have used they work so well together creating a perfect background for the Leafy swirl stamp.
Will say goodnight to you all, sleep well, love Brenda xxx
