Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the
weekend whatever you have planned.I had to get up early again,
( 4.30 am) as I was coughing so much grrrr. It's a bit ( no... a lot)
chilly here today , so we lit the new woodburner 'Woody' today.
Oh boy does it heat the whole house quickly. We have had to
open all the doors throughout the house now, which is great as
we now have lovely ambient heat all through it. Right enough
waffling, onto my second card for this weeks 'Less is More'
challenge. It's week 91 and a sketch this week which is.....
come and have a closer look at my card. I used the distress
ink technique where you ink onto an acrylic stamping block
first then spray with water then dab that onto cardstock. I
think mine resembles a nice sky ?? I embossed over it too,
reminds me of raindrops....sort of ?? I drew a few birds
stamped a tree and coloured a little here and there. Quite
pleased with it now, I see so many things wrong with my first
card now...isn't that always the way??
ps. I do hope you all remembered to turn your clocks back.
It took us ages to figure out how to do the tv time. Sooooo many
menu's etc. ...I swear it's worse than a computer that tv. When they said
all singing and dancing I think they just mean VERY COMPLICATED.
