Hi everyone and welcome to our new follower...I still get excited when I see that we have somebody new in our little gang...
How has your week gone ?
Well the good news is that Adam is home from hospital, and although he has to go back for more tests and follow up appointments..he is so glad to be home....
I had the steroid injection in my hand yesterday and yes Mum you were quite right when you said it may sting a little...thanks to Theresa who suggested painkillers before my appointment...good call....
So I am sat here today typing with my left hand...and yes it is taking ages...no housework for Two days..yah...no crafting for two days..boo hoo...
Enough typing...let's look at a photo..
I really love this new parakeets stamp....this is such a quick and simple card to make.
Gelli card, three Distress inks, mini blending tools and a Clarity blending mat...
And this is what you get...
Next spritz with some water and pat dry...
Stamp using black ink...
Add some colour.
Stamp again, colour in with Spectrum Noir Pencils....then cut out...and shape before gluing into place..
These little birds could be used for so many different occasions ...the stamp can be found on the Clarity website....
I had a lovely surprise today when I had some chocolates and flowers delivered....thank you Laura...you made my day...
I hope you have a good weekend. Thanks for looking in today...and for all your kind words, emails and support this week.
Much love,
Jo. xxxx
