I stamped and coloured the HA Hydrangea with Distress inks ( Dusty Concord with a dash of Chipped Sapphire and Shabby Shutters) and mounted it on a dark purple card. I spirtzed the whole piece with pearlised water, very shimmery in real life. I added the strip of lime green Bazzil and ribbon and the sentiment. My base card is the lilac ( looks a bit darker in my photo)
After nearly a week of lovely winter weather - cold nights and lovely day, it has been windy, wet and cold today... so the photo was taken on my window sill - at around 4.15pm so not the best.
Have been very busy doing some induction training ( only 3 months after starting the job) with the latest set of recruits. This involved travelling 30 kms each day to get to the Manukau office ( and 30 kms back again in the evening) so a couple of long days...
Have done some cards this week but haven't taken photos. Mainly copies of stuff I already have made - people have seen my Flickr and asked to have the same one!!!!
Busy weekend as well... 50th party to go to Sat night, lunch Sunday at son's new flat.. and having a friend round for dinner Sunday night....
Plus a little something special here later in the weekend.... Please do pop back as I think you'll enjoy...
Have a super weekend all
