I got a few cards made on Saturday to get ahead of my samples for Watercooler Wednesday. So keep a look a out for them in the future.. Sunday I spend catching up on watching videos. And trying out a technique from Lydia Evans... an oldie but a goodie.... using inks on an acrylic block. I follow Karen Dunbrook on Facebook and was inspired by her cards as well.
I used some Zig markers to scribble onto my block and spritzed with water before stamping onto some watercolour paper. I then used a Hero Arts stamp Night and Day Flowers. I used my MISTI to stamped the flowers firstly onto the smooshed piece which I had positioned onto the card base, then moved it out of the way and stamped again fully on the base. I then lined up the two lots of stamping and stuck it down. I added the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and some clear jewels.
Sunday I decided to make a card for Jo's Christmas Kickstart challenge... the theme is "The Elves and the Shoemaker" I used a sweet elf from Bugaboo for my card. I finished it off this morning.
I originally put my panel onto a red card base.... but did this~
Yeap... put it on the wrong side of the card. As you can see above, I managed to salvage the card by trimming the red base and adding to a blue card base.
I'm on holiday this week, to spend time with Emma, Andrew and Archie.... today we spend some having coffee, shopping and playing in the playgrounds at the Mall and then later in the day, Emma and Archie joined hubby on his daily walk
and today Miss Grace is one month old
Thanks for stopping by.
