This week's Crafts

 







Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

I have my fingers crossed that today is not going to be another rainy, cold day ! 🤞  We had to do the dreaded food shopping yesterday and popped into Witney,  it was so cold and wet and after we got home it took me hours to get warm, I am ready for some Spring sunshine now.  

Today will be really relaxing as there will be no roast dinner this evening as the girls are going out to have a belated birthday meal with a friend,  so Paul and I are going to have the other half of the Indian takeaway we had on Friday night, I can never eat a full portion of curry, so we order an extra rice (as we share 1 portion between us) then we get two meals for the price of one,  well I say price of one,  have your takeaways all gone up a lot,  we didn't have loads of sides an extras but it came to £52 !!! Just for Paul and I, it was nice though. 

Let's see what you have been making this week...

Lilian 


Lilian's Description:

These are my thrinchies for this week.

I used my Lavinia stamps, that I’ve had but not used.

Oxide inks ,faded jeans, speckled egg, and a pink, whose name escapes me. Not sure where the stencil came from, maybe a bundle from amazon.

Wow Lilian your Thrinchies are amazing,  your backgrounds are so detailed, the colours of your vases really pop against the background.  I love the little numbers too.  You have a clever way of displaying them across one page, thats a great idea. 

Thank you so much for taking part my lovely XXX 


Karen


Karen's Description:

A very quick and simple card created on Serif So 
Patterned paper - Floral - Bold sentiment

Oh Karen that background is so pretty, the colours are so pretty against the blue background.  I love the font of the sentiment too. 

Thank you so much for supporting the challenge XXX 

Maria



Maria's Description:

I've been playing with this little 3 x 3 and these are the two that didn't go in the bin.
They are just made with TH ink pads and some new stamps bought from Amazon but came orig. from China. I don't have any words for them but probably would be " howling at the full moon and Spring".   Hope they are ok.....    

Wow Maria your Thrinchies are amazing, your backgrounds are so lovely,  I want to point out a few things...firstly the shading that grounds your wolf,  BRILLIANT, it's perfectly positioned and seemlessly blended in, so amazing!!  Secondly the way that you have inked the top Thrinchie makes it look like there is actually light shining through the canvas highlighting the silhouettes!!  Again its absolutely BRILLIANT!! 

I am so blown away,  thank you so much for pushing yourself to have a go, PLEASE keep going, you are a natural Thrinchie'ist !!!! XXX

******************

I hope that you all have a lovely relaxing Sunday,  

Love and big, warm hugs to all,
