Good evening, I do hope Friday finds you well...we have had rain today...but at least it is still warm.
I have had another very busy week, and felt some what tired and had one of those what can go wrong ...will go wrong weeks....and that is where good friends always come in....so thanks to my special friend for her kind and wise words this morning...
I have just finished loading my car ready for Clarity Cumbria tomorrow , a day of crafting with friends and eating cake will be just the job..
Before I go and walk the dogs I just want to share a card with you using one of the new stamp sets....the Cockeral and hen set...
I started with a piece of Gelli card and stamped this wonderful prancing cockerel.
Next I created the resist in the background using the Matrix feather stamp, VersaMark ink , white embossing powder and one of the new aperture stencils.
Then out with the heat tool and this is what I had...
I placed the stencil back in position and began to add colour using Distress inks, first the top colour.
Note the kitchen towel, helps to stop finger marks....
Next the bottom colour,
I do like to add the middle colour last...I find the colours blend easier this way..
The embossing resists the ink, and a quick wipe with a piece of Kitchen towel keeps it lovely and white...
Using Spectrum Noir pencils , I added colour to the Cockeral now I do know that these are not standard colours but this is a fairytale bird....
Plus some depth using my charcoal pencils...Now that's better....
He does look so proud....
I do hope you like him....I had better get a move on...
Thanks for looking in today,
Enjoy your weekend...
Love and Hugs...
Jo. xxxx

Very striking card Jo. I love it. Found out that I could have joined you tomorrow but Neil didn't decide on his plans for the weekend until tonight so it's too late now and I'm very sad and not very happy with Neil as I expected us to be going to his mum's. Hope you all have a lovely time with your geese xx

Thanks you all for your lovely comments...I really do appreciate them all...and ladies it was brilliant to see you yesterday....group hug....xxxx
Lovely card Jo. love the resist background.
I absolutely love how you do the 3D look with the charcoal pencils. I will keep trying this technique and hope that one day my attempts will resemble your result and won't look anything like I've just drawn a black line with a charcoal pencil!!
