Good evening all and thanks for popping in. I do hope that your weekend has started well, mine started with my voice getting more squeaky by the minute. It got very sore and eventually I had to give in and rest it.
So Karl had a wonderful Friday evening and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Today I have been to a Parchment class run by the very talented and lovely Susan Moran , it was amazing,,,,and I have to say that I loved the grid work and snipping that we did,,,so much so. That I can't wait to do some more...
So look out ladies....!!!!
Thank you Susan for a most wonderful day,,,
I am now home and ready for a Saturday evening with Mr Rice,,,and I am sure a glass of Prosecco will help my throat...
Before we settle down , I just thought I would share this card with you
I made it for Barbara's recent Hochanda tv show. It uses one of the Backing papers from the Brighton Rock Designer pack created by our very own lovely lady, Dee Paramour...
I started by matting and layering the backing paper, adding the Eiffel Tower stamp using Black Archival ink
And then creating my topper , by stamping the speech bubble in versamark ink , adding white embossing powder and heat setting. Then using similar colour Artistry ink pads, blending and adding some water splashes.. then finally adding some more stamping.
I do love this technique and it matches the backing paper a treat...
I stamped the sketch lady and coloured her using Spectrum Noir pencils, and finally stamped the word Grace...
Once I had all the components, it took me ages to decide how to arrange them...it is funny....it always takes me ages to do this bit....but finally , I settled on this design and glued everything into position. I did have to add some of my favourite Bakers Twine...
There are four different paper pads and I love them all, and so will you...
I have just heard the popping of the cork, so I am going to love you and leave you
Take care all,
Much love and hugs
Jo. xxxx

ReplyDeleteLove the card Jo. I have all the paper pads as I couldn't make a decision but now I'm not sure how to use them. This has given me a great starting point. I hope the prosecco helped your throat and that you are feeling better today.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Jo. Really love these colours. I thought maybe a shared pic of your grid work might also be on here so you had a reminder to keep. I do hope you took one just for you. x
