Hello crafty friends! I hope you are all having a good weekend? Yesterday, I went through my card stash to see if I had any gaps - with my loss of mojo and the weather being dire, my cache was dwindling - I noticed I had no sympathy cards left (and as those kinds of cards are not something that you feel like making at the time you need them, I like to have a couple in hand).
I had recently purchased the 'With Sympathy' embossing folder, which was perfect. I ran a white panel through it and then all that was needed was a little 'something' in the corner I felt. I tried to use a lighter ink, to keep the stamping more subtle, but it was a grey and came out darker than I had anticipated. Then, I had to try and 'tie it in' somehow with the rest of the card, so I filled in the flowers with my Gellyroll Stardust pen and then it looked silver!
Anywho, here it is, for what it's worth . . . oh, and we have snow again here, so it will be sewing for me again today!
As always, thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!

Hello my patient blogging buddies! The weather is warming a tad - although, it is still very gloomy and wet - but at least I am not actually freezing in my attic now! So, on that note, I was playing with some alcohol inks on glossy photo paper, and although I didn't like my results as much as some of the amazing pieces you are all turning out at present, I didn't want to waste it.
I also wanted to try a new embossing folder out, so I cut a frame to put the AI panel behind and run it through the EF. Then all that was left to do was to choose a sentiment. I also added some black Nuvo drops to tie in the sentiment. Here it is.
Thank you all so much for your continued patience and understanding and support!

Hello stamping buddies, I hope you are all keeping warm and cosy! It is so cold here in the SW of the UK, we actually had snow! This is rather a rarity, as, normally our temperatures are a little warmer than the rest of the country because we are so close to the sea! However, these past few days, have seen minus temperatures, snow and frozen roads.
As I have said before, I have no heating in my craft room in the attic, and so, I have kept out of it as much as possible. So, my Mother's Day card is yet another cheat - in order to minimise my exposure to the cold - I have added a pre-made card from my stash to the front of a larger card blank, which I stencilled glitter roses over and gave it a generous spritz of shimmer spray. Mum will understand (as mum's do). So, here it is.
I printed a lengthy verse, suitable for my mother inside and called it done. Sorry I am taking a while to get back into my stride this year. I do hope to do better soon!
