Cotswold Crafter

Today's reminder goes without saying!!

Good Morning Ladies,  

Another early start for me as I have an appointment with the nurse at 08 30am 😲🙄.  All jokes aside I am hoping for some reassurance 🤞 because my inner anxiety has me in bits with worry. 😔

As I am writing this we are driving over to Matt's,  the weather is terrible. The driving rain makes those cars with super white bright lights even worse!  Flipping things are blinding, should be illegal!!  Paul notices more now he has had his lenses replaced after cataracts.  

Today aibam sharing a 'grungy ' style journal page, I started by stamping the mixed media style stamp in opposite corners,  I added clear embossing powder and heat set,   next came Distress Oxide spray Peeled Paint and Kitsch Flamingo, then spritz with water and place kitchen roll over,  it makes the colours more subtle. I blended around the edges with Black Soot Oxide ink.  Stamping next, first the lovely flower from my new Visible Image stamp set, I used black ink and added clear embossing powder and heat set.  I masked off the leaf of the first flower and stamped the second flower and embossed again.  I used Harvest Moon Mica stain to colour the second flower and then added some splatters of it to background,  the sparkle is lovely!  

I added some background stamping with the little dotted circle stamp thats in the Visible Image stamp set.   Now the flower head of the first flower was mostly in the background embossing so I stamped another, fussy cut it and added it.  

The final touches were some white splatters and the sentiment,  which I stamped and then edged with black Posca pen.  

I might do another thats less 'grungy' next.  

I hope that you all have a good day, 

Love and hugs,  

Sandra xxx
