Good morning all,
Hope your Friday is going well,
I am just back from walking the dogs, we had rain in the night
but it is lovely and sunny now.
Karl left early again, bless him he works so hard.
Today it is a new Challenge over at the Fussy and Fancy blog.
Our theme is
Clean and Simple
And our fab hostess is Tone
This is what I came up with..
I started by stamping this wonderful stamp from IndigoBlu.
Colour Me - Daisy
One of my new favourites...
Perfect for this type of card
Next I used low tack masking tape to make a border .
And then began adding some ink...
First the yellow.
Then the red in the centre
And finally the orange in the middle...
I do find this a great way to achieve good blending
Next some water spritzing....
And a black fine line border...
I do love the way this has developed
Now see the difference that the charcoal pencil has made...
And these blender pens from Clarity are fab too.
A sentiment and a little butterfly from Hobby Art and the design is nearly complete
Just some dots of clear glass to add the finishing detail...
Glossy Accents does the same job...
They dry so clear...and yes this is my favourite finishing trick...
And on the ink, they pick up the colour...just love it
If you would like to see the rest of the dt samples or join in please visit the blog here
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have a lovely weekend planned
We actually exchanged contracts yesterday...so well on our way to move next week..
We visited the house yesterday so that I could choose curtain fabric, it was very emotional,,,
We seem to have been on this journey for so long...
I really appreciate all your support...
Thank you so much all...
Much love and hugs
