Good Morning Ladies,
How is your week going? We had a mixed day yesterday, poor Lucy ended having to come home from work as she was feeling so unwell, she has a really nasty cold with a cough that keeps her awake (and me) all night, I was worrying about her, I got her some extra pillows to try and get her cough to stop so that she could sleep. Fingers crossed for a better night.
The good news was about Matt, he has been interested in photography for about 3 years, he has a really nice camera and has done some online courses that we bought him as a gift, he was out and about talking photos and got spotted by a chap who asked him to go to a skate park and take some photos of the people on skateboards. Anyway he had a call yesterday and one of the photos that he took is being featured in a magazine, a full page spread!! He was absolutely buzzing when he found, I was very proud of him🥰😍
Yesterday I had fun following a Tracey Evans workshop, this card is one of about 14 in the workshop, I loved the bright colours and the spring flowers on this one. I stamped the hexagonal stamp onto white card, then lined up and stamped again, I then went in to the colouring, I used squeezed Lemonade & Fossilised Amber for the flower and the hexagons then Peeled paint & Twisted Citron for the Daffodil leaves. I stamped the flower in Peeled paint (leaves) Fossilised Amber for the petals, I chose these colours to give the effect of 'no line stamping' I then fussy cut the Daffodil out. The most time consuming part was colouring the hexagons, trying to blend the colours neatly 🤷♀️ It is therapeutic though.
After colouring was complete it was time to put everything together. In the workshop Tracey used 'Sisal Nest', I couldn't find mine so I used some orange cotton to add a little texture. I added it to the back of the flower, sandwiched between foam pads.
To finish the card I added some yellow and white splatters, the added the sentiment and did some shading. Finally I matted the piece onto a black card and then onto a white card base.
Maria, I sm going through some Tracey Evans Workshops that I bought a couple of years ago, you have access to them forever. XXX
I hope that you all have a great day,
Love and hugs to all of you,

Hello Sandra and everyone, what fantastic news about Matt, You must all be so proud of him, I sending him my congratulations and hope he will have many more photographs published in future, I will certainly be looking to see his name printed in popular magazines.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards today and the yellow tones are so uplifting for spring.
Hope Lucy is feeling a bit brighter today. Pneumonia can be difficult to shake off and she must be very careful as well as you because of your immune system.
Have done a little housework this morning and now have stopped for a coffee break, Good opportunity to look in on the blog ……. not that I need one.
Hope everyone’s day is going well sending love and caring hugs to all who feel under the weather. Take care Brenda XXX
Hi everyone.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Matthew for getting his photograph in a magazine. So exciting and maybe he get some more request from them soon.
Love your spring card today. So beautiful with the yellow and daffodils. Thank you for telling me about her classes on line 🙂
Wishing Lucy to get better soon.
I'm on cat duty this week so had a little walk over this morning. The sun is out but the wind is making it a bit chilly still so need the coat on. The painter is here so we are moved to the upstair offfice for OH and me in the craft room. Had nearly made an thrinchie but think I made a bobo so will look tomorrow if I can do something with it or I start again.
Hoping that you are all having a good day. Hugs to you all ,Maria xxx

Hi Sandra and all looking in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bright card. Very unusual combination of spring flowers with the hexagons but works well together. Fantastic news about Matt. I love his photos, he has taken some wonderful ones of Harley. Let’s hope this is just the beginning of something new. Please give him a hug and my congratulations. Poor Lucy, I hope she can shake it off very soon xx
I hope everyone has had a good day. Take care. Love Sue xx
