Lets look at what we have been making this week

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

We had a better day than was forecast so that was a bonus, we managed to get 3 loads of washing dry, mostly towels too which was really handy as they take ages in the tumble dryer!  I got our bags unpacked and washing sorted, just have to wait for girls to do theirs, although they shouldn't have much washing as they lived almost everyday in Bikinis with a beach cover up over them, maybe a couple of t shirts from the nights we went out, I am hoping they don't just dump the whole bag out to be washed!  

Paul got the grass cut, although sadly it looks a bit brown and crispy, hopefully the rain that is forecast for tomorrow will help it,  we are on a hose pipe ban from Monday (i think) so it won't be getting a soaking other than rain.  

Let's have a look at what you have been making...

Lilian's Description:

Here is my art journal page for this weeks challenge.

Lavinia masks, indigo blue stencil.

Night of navy ink, also used a inktense pencil in navy blue.

So lovely in shades of blue Lilian,  what a genius idea using the vase stencil and filling it in with another stencil !!  Even with it all being blue every thing stands out individually,  you are so creative when it comes to scene building!  

Thank you so much for creating and sharing your journal page, especially in this ridiculous heat!  XXX

Karen's Descriptions:

Card 1:

Last one for this week - shades of blue

Blue Serif background splattered with Posca paint

Sue W “Noel” die in navy and white xx

Card 2:

Another one for “shades”

….of grey

An image from Serif Have used a silver Sharpie on parts

Card 3 & 4,

Here are 2 challenge cards I had a play with the transparency button in Serif So created 3 rectangles and on 2 of them took the transparency down The images are from Serif and I printed the sentiment and cut with Julie Hickey banner die.

Wow Karen you have had a very creative week !!  You have made some amazing cards, all different too. 

Adding the paint splatters to that Serif background makes such a difference,  it transforms it from a printed background to something that looks more hand crafted,  brilliant idea ! 

Your second card looks 100% like you have stamped Julie Hickey flowers over the background,  I would never have guessed that it was a serif background!  

Again Wow For the last two cards, I'm not going to pretend that I understand the process but the cards you have created do not look like they are Serif created.  You are so blooming clever. 

Thank you so much for creating 4 amazing cards for this challenge XXX

Maria's Description:

I wasn't sure what to make this week but I went for,

Brown and Gold. I made a border with a stencil that I got with TH inks. I got this fun Waistcoat die last week so used brown and gold card and white for the shirt and collar bits. Hope it fits even if it is not completely one colour 🤭😊. 

Maria I love this card, that Waistcoat die is amazing and I love how you have used it,  that border works perfectly with the Waistcoat and everything ties together nicely. I can't believe the detail that die cut has!😍

Thank you so much Maria for supporting this challenge XXX
