Make each day count.

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are feeling well today. 

I have just got back after a very wet dog walk with Eric, I am 

hoping that the day will get brighter. 

Yesterday I went up to Kendal to see my parents. 

It is my Dads birthday tomorrow, 

so I went to surprise him.

Thanks Mum and Chris for keeping my visit a secret.

Now you know me, 

I just finished making his card on Monday afternoon.

Last minute dot com here...

I do hope some of you are the same and that it’s not just me...

Today I am going to share one of my samples for 

Aall & Create.

As you know I love using stencils alongside my stamps. 

I had a great time making this, and I do think you could add family photos into the film strip

That would be really cool.

The stencil is #82, film strip by Aida Domisiewicz

I started by taping my stencil using low tack tape, 

I then dabbed the Archival ink through the stencil using a make up sponge. 

This is a great way to use old ink pads 

I added some splats of ink and water and then attached it to my backing card. 

Next I cut three pieces of card , just the correct size to fit into the film strip. 

I stamped them up and added some colour, using Inktense pencils .

I used stamps #199 Eclectic Stamps and #200 Hope 

And then #210 Background mashup for the background 

All by my lovely friend Tracy Evans. 

 

We are using these on Saturday in our Carnforth class....whoop.

It is such a lovely project ladies.

I am so looking forwards to it. 

To add a clear glaze I used a VersaMark ink pad and clear embossing powder.

I added these to the design ,

Placing the sentiment in the middle. 

Here is a closer look. 

I do hope you like it and most importantly that it makes you smile. 

Have a lovely day all. 

Make today count.

Much love and hugs 

Jo xxx
