Good Saturday Morning Ladies,
I hope that your weekend has gotten off to a great start, we had a bit of a boring start, just getting the shopping done so that we have the rest of the weekend to enjoy, I got a loaf of Sourdough started, so it will be ready for baking this morning, Soph and I used up some of the Sourdough 'discard' in the afternoon, Soph made some of her amazing bagels, I made a cake that had a sponge with a cinnamon sugar layer in the middle and was topped with a crunchy cinnamon pecan crumble, as I am writing this I am waiting for it to finish cooking, it smells deliscious.
Karen's Colour Box
Karen bought herself the Aall&Create Colour Cube, I have had one of these on my wishlist for sometime, I didn't realise Aall&Create did one though, having one made by someone that does Papercrafting makes a difference, its been designed with colouring with inks etc in mind.
This is a lovely colour combination, Karen matched Distress Oxides for all the colours, here is here Description:
First try! Using DO
My colours
Picked Raspberry
Fired Brick
Mustard Seed
Frayed Burlap
Evergreen Bough
I love the card that you created Karen, I can pick out the different colours and they blend beautifully.
Karen wasn't sure about the blend between Frayed Burlap and Mustard seed, this is the way that she rescued it, which is a useful tip for all of us....
I think I have rescued it
I blended the Frayed Burlap over the Mustard Seed
I have since watched a video by a lady named Jenny (lovely colourist) who talked about using the predominant colour in lighter shades for background and when colouring image shading with the light/medium/dark colours
I didn’t intend to emulate the card
Heat embossed the Daisy B butterfly and did faux bleaching- managed to get water onto background so did some splatters!
This was well out of my comfort zone
It may have been out of your comfort zone but you absolutely aced it my lovely.
Thank you so much for sharing your colour box and first project with us, I am sure there are a few of us that will be wanting one! XXX

I just had to share these with you today, they are in a trough just by where we park the car, They really make me smile every time I get in the car, they move on the breeze, to me they look like bearded little men, I love them 🤣😂
I hope that you all have a lovely Saturday,
Love and hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
A great saying I keep a lot of the handmade cards sent to me
ReplyDeleteThe color box is by Sarah Renae Clark It just so happened that I think Aall & Create stick it in U.K. and was cheapest I probably only need one cube BUT a) better price and free p&p and b) definitely a bit of FOMO (fear of missing out) My reasoning for buying them is that I am colourblind but can still match colours using these cards I’m enjoying just stroking them at the moment 🤣 It’s been awhile since I treated myself to something new
Hope to be seeing friends later
Take care everyone xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteA card is a hug. So true, I've got all the cards from you ladies in a box 🤗
I have seen these colour boxes before but they were out of my price range. Didn't know AALL were doing one but with their pens colours. Your card is fabulous Karen 🥰
Love your pansies Sandra. They do have little faces don't they 😊
Not managed to do much this, so sorry no card from me.
Hoping that you all have a good Easter weekend with family. Hugs xxx
Hello, love that saying.
ReplyDeleteKaren I am green with envy, I think those boxes are so helpful. Love your card.
Haven’t done much today. Pain in my back and legs really bad today, hoping it will be better tomorrow. St no pills which means I’ll have to wait until Tuesday.
Love your little pansies, I planted some but they haven’t done anything.
Have a lovely Easter weekend everyone. Lilian
