I absolutely love this sentiment and
the artwork that accompanies it.
Good Friday Morning Ladies,
What are you all up to this Easter weekend?? We are planning to get some garden jobs done, we are dog sitting Boo on Sunday so we won't get much done then 🙄🤣
I had some good craft time this past couple of days, Today's tag is one of the things I made.
I started by using Mowed Lawn & Salty Ocean Distress Ink to smoosh the tag in to, I dried between layers of smooshing which gives more interest.
I then took Tim Holtz French Garden stamp and used a script stamp and a Berry Branch and used the same ink to add background detail..
Next came the main element stamping, I stamped the flower and leaf in Versafine Clair ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
I used the Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean ink to colour the flower and leaves.
To add some extra texture I added some Clear Crackle paste, although it didn't really Crackle!
This is after, although hard to capture!
Some white splatters, a sentiment and ribbon coloured with Mowed Lawn distress ink, oh and a black mat finish the tag.
I hope that you all have a lovely weekend,
Love and hugs to all,
Sandra xxx







Great reminder That’s a hard one sometimes
ReplyDeleteYour tag is lovely So much detail
It’s Charlie’s 6th birthday today and they’re off to Spurs for a tour of the stadium
Sorry to hear about your mum and Rick I hope they get on OK Maria
OH bought a load of cheap veg from Lidl so I’m cooking a min roast for us
Take care everyone xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove your tag, it’s fabulous 😍
A lovely quote - we all deserve it ❤️
Back down to Dorset again tomorrow, and then Luke and Hayley coming on Sunday for a roast dinner in the evening.
Lilian, I got an Epson eco tank ET-2860 printer. It was about £150 from Argos and comes with the inks which you fill up. They advertise the inks lasting 3 years, and so far with the amount of printing and copying I’ve done they haven’t gone done much. I believe it can take up to 300gsm card, but I’ve only used up to 200gsm with no problems and perfect for me. Hope that helps 😊
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
I’m using 270gsm card in mine with no problem I have also printed 6x4 borderless photos which I struggled with on my old HP printer
DeleteThanks Karen, that’s good to know. I just got 230gsm from Amazon and will be using that in my memory albums.
DeleteGlad it’s working for your photos too 😊 xx
Hello all, wet again today.
ReplyDeleteSandra I love your tag, that stamp set is one of top favourites, I must admit to missing stamping and colouring.
Today’s quote is one of the best. Had a lovely chat to Sanda today, we are so lucky to have her, she never minds when I witter away about my aches and pains.
Sonia is the printer Wi-Fi? Only use I pad so would need to print wireless, mine will only use thin printer paper.
Have a good evening everyone. Lilian
Hi Lilian, yes I use it on WiFi with my iPad. It can be connected to your own WiFi network (I’ve not had much luck with that, probably because printer is upstairs and the router is downstairs) There’s an App for the printer and when you open up the app it lets you join an Epson network to use 😊 xx
DeleteHi everyone
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag. Quite a few stages to do but so worth it 😉. Hope you get some nice days in the garden. Nice quote, something we all deserve to be.
Happy birthday to Charlie, hope he had a great day.
Lilian, hope you had a good chat with Sandra and you felt a bit better afterwards. You don't have to feel bad about moaning to us, that's what friends are for 🤭 and we all know about aches and pains in some ways. 😥
Even if mum got bone cancer it was good news today and she doesn't need to see them again in six months. Sister in law tho might need a op after she's back in hospital and after cardiogram they have found a blockage. They still running tests, she's in the right place tho if something else happens but not the Easter anyone thought they would have.
Sending hugs to you all, hope you all have had a good Easter Friday 🐇🐣🐑 xxx
Hi Sandra and all looking in. A gorgeous tag. I love it all. I hope you get some gardening done over the weekend xx
ReplyDeleteMaria, you really are going through it at the moment again with one family member or another aren’t you. 🤞🏻 it all works out well. Sending you hugs xx
Busy afternoon in the kitchen making Mums boiled fruit cakes for my Chris and Gary as their birthday cakes. Chris jnr helped me which was lovely. Sleep well everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
