I'll say lovely to see you today and then get the weather out of the way from the start and just say ....... I don't like it hot!!! Which is why I love Spring and Autumn ;-)
I've not had much I could show recently as I've had quite a few cards to make for birthdays coming up soon but last Friday was Helen's birthday so I can now share her card.
Once again it was a simple format (my favourite style at the moment) where I blended various shades of blue and purple Distress Inks through a sunburst stencil and then did the same with a doily stencil on top. If I remember correctly I used brushes to apply the ink. I inked roughly around the edges then matted onto two layers of complimentary card. I stamped one of Dina Wakeley's scribbly birds onto the stencilled card, mainly so I didn't have to fussy cut his legs, lol, and then again onto some designer paper from my stash. I cut him out, minus legs, and stuck him over the image on the card.
Finally I stamped the Chocolate Baroque sentiment direct to the card.........why the heck do I always do that last and risk bu...... er, ruining the whole thing ;D........ and stuck the layers onto my cardbase.
That's it for today and it could be a few days before I get back with anything else. I'm trying to finish the fab project we did at our weekend with Lin Brown a couple of weekends ago but my craftroom is pretty much no go in this heat. See you again as soon as I can.
Hugs
