Shades of Teal Thank you

 



Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

Here we are at the last week of May,  like so many others this week has flown, probably more so due to the Bank Holiday, we are about 3 weeks away from our holiday which feels absolutely unbelievable,  I will have to get organised and get some cards made to cover those 3 weeks.  If any of you get time to create a couple of extra cards I would be so grateful.  

Now I have posted Craft Quotes that joke about our crafting lives,   well one of those was a real life reality,  I know that we all put things down and can't find them but yesterday I lost a whole card,  I had been working on it all day, I embossed and inked & spritzed the background,  then set it to dry while I worked on this card, I was about finished on this card and wanted to die cut some bits to embellish the first card, I spritzed a piece of card and set that to dry then was ready to die cut the last bits and assemble the card,  I couldn't do this as I simply can't find the card, I have searched high and low, checking bins, shelves, drawers etc.  I am hoping it will turn up tomorrow!! 

I picked out Card 101 and then chose the colours from my Stampin up inks this time,  






Pretty Peacock for the Teal colour,  Pool Party for the Mint Gray colour and Seaside Spray for the Bondi Blue. The card and embossing powder I used are both a light beige too. 

I stamped my Uniko Mandala Stamp randomly over the card, I then found an embossing powder that was more cream/beige than white, so I used that and heat set and then blended the three ink colours over the embossing.  After it had dried I wiped over the embossing with a damp cloth to clean off any ink.  To finish I die cut a sentiment using the darkest colour as the background. 

I hope that you have a great end to your week, 

Love & hugs to all,

Sandra xxx

  3. Hi everyone
    A gorgeous card and a beautiful colour hue together. Hoping to join you for some crafting next week but have to clean the house a bit extra for having visitors to our house who never been before and no, I can't just shut the door to the craft room. They like to see that as well 😄🤭
    Had a day of rest today, always after travelling I have to. Hope you feeling better soon Sue,

  4. Hi, all, a bit overcast today but very humid.
    Hurt my knee yesterday while gardening which is very painful. Not sure how I dit it.
    Great card again today, with a lovely group of colours to use.
    Managed to do my challenge for this week, not great, because I find it difficult to concentrate when my legs are bad.
    Have a good evening, Lilian
