Hello from a very sunny corner of Yorkshire. I hope the weather is as gorgeous for you as it has been for us all weekend. Unbroken sunshine and clear blue skies, although cold, but it feels like spring is not far away!!
Thank you all so much for your warm and wonderful Birthday wishes, they made my week. I get the distinct feeling that being 40 is highly recommended which has made me feel tons better and I shall grasp this decade with both hands and enjoy it!!
I need to get back into the swing of all the challenges that are out there, but at the moment have just been enjoying playing with some of the new things I've had recently so I thought I'd share a card with you that I made after playing with my alcohol inks.
I sponged stream and denim inks onto acetate and then stamped the swirls (Creative Expressions) with Graphite black brilliance and left to dry (although not long enough because I still smudged it-duh!!). It was then mounted on silver mirricard which reflects the inks beautifully.
The flower was a Sissix Daisy die and the greeting from Kay Carley. I also stamped the background card with the QVC foam swirls.
Well, the craft table beckons so I'll just say thank you for stopping by and I hope your Monday is going well.
