Light bulb moment Thrinchie

 

Good Wednesday Morning Ladies, 

We were blessed with a gloriously sunny day yesterday, still very chilly but my goodness that sunshine makes such a difference to your mood, we went round opening windows to let the fresh crisp air in, mind you by around 3pm I had to get Paul go round and close them all as it got quite chilly when that sun went down,  isn't it lovely to have it light until around 5.30pm, you feel like you get an extra hour added on to your day.

I was home alone 😔 yesterday so I just sat and kept busy crafting,  I made another 3 Thrinchies, If you could see my desk you'd think I'd made 50, the amount of stuff I had out,  mostly stamp sets, where I am trying different things to substitute stamps I haven't got .  On this Thrinchie I substituted a leaf sprig that Tracey used for the little leaf stamp above the light bulb,  it worked perfectly in my opinion, it was purely to give something for the light bulb to 'hang' from.  

The colour theme for this Thrinchie is Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade & Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks, with a little Lumberjack Plaid to add some depth of colour on the left side.  

I inked the bulb stamp with the three inks above, using only a light touch of the Candied Apple as its quite strong, I gave it a light spritz with water and stamped it straight onto my Thrinchie,  then gave another quick spritz to get those colours oxidised. I took some of the inks and a paintbrush and added a bit more colour,  adding a little Lumberjack Plaid to the very edge of the lightbulb to define it a little.  I took the Pheasant stamp and inked in black and popped him in the bottom corner, next came a bit of background stamping in grey ink (so that it stays in the background)  I added the 'Original' sentiment because it actually is an Original! 🤣  a few ink splatters and a black mat to finish the piece. 

It's partner will follow tomorrow  

I hope that you all have a lovely day,

Love & hugs to all of you,
