Good Morning Ladies,
I hope that you enjoyed the glorious sunshine yesterday, Im looking forward to the warmer weather later this week too.
I didn't get out in the sun mind I spent the whole day at my desk, I got some stamps out that I hadn't really used and set out to make something with them.
For this card I used Tim Holtz 'Embroidery ' stamp, firstly I used Vintage Photo oxide spitzed and stamped a couple of the flower stems to create some background interest, I dried that and then 'smooshed' Picked Raspberry and Bundled Sage onto my craft mat and gave them a spritz, I took my watercolour card and dipped it into the smooshed ink, drying between layer, I kept adding layers until I was happy, then I dried the whole thing and stamped that lovely flower stem in Ground Espresso Archival ink, I didn't feel the flowers needed colouring as they were luckily stamped over the Picked Raspberry ink, I did use Bundled Sage Distress watercolour pencil for the leaves. I added a little script stamp to add some interest and some little numbers from a different stamp set.
Finishing touches: I finally took the plunge and hot Paul to set my sewing machine on my desk, it took me sometime to remind myself how to thread it !! I then took bull by the horns and sewed around the card attatching it to the kraft card. It's far from perfect or straight but i am happy with it. I added a sentiment to finish.
I hope that you all have a great day,
Love & hugs to all of you,

ReplyDeleteDentist was OK I am so nervous of going to the dentist and I am now going to a new practice So I was very anxious especially as I have a bit of pain every now and again It’s a “wait and see” job
The patio furniture is at long last out So maybe later I can enjoy a little bit of sunshine
Take care everyone xx

ReplyDeleteSorry I didn’t get in yesterday, had a very bad night, Sunday, so yesterday woke up feeling very unwell, still no ropinirol tablets been waiting for them since the 3rd of March, out of stock everywhere.
Hope you are feeling better today.
Great card today, love the stitching, I had a go but my machine is too heavy I think. Might have another go.
Have a good day everyone. Lilian
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and interesting with the stitching around.
Out shopping at the moment and having a coffee in Nero. Back home my day will be spent in the garden reading a book. I can't be indoors too long when the weather is so lovely and warm. Have a lovely day everyone. Hugs to you all, Maria xxx
