Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by! I have been busily trying to work ahead with everything as I head off to my homeland (New Zealand) to celebrate my Mothers 80th birthday - it is even sweeter as my youngest daughter and the grandson will be coming too - quite a special time. Thankfully I have worked ahead with tutorials and Design Team work but due to complicating things by literally 'hitting the ground running' which has resulted in a Cortisone injection into the hip and a tear in a tendon, I have not been able to complete 'other' posts - I do apologise in advance - my Tutorial are all done and are scheduled here - I hope you enjoy those.
In the meantime I have been working on some cards in case the Shop that sells them needs them while I am away - they just had 28 sell in two weeks and 36 the month before that - not complaining at all! I have upcycled this image - so cool for a masculine card.
The card front has been embossed using the Spellbinders Em-bossing Fold'ers Grid. This has been sponged using Imagine Inks, trimmed and popped up onto a slightly larger white card front using double sided tape.
The image has been fussy cut/handcut using scissors and popped up onto the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares, The Penny Black Inc sentiment has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, lightly coloured using Markers and popped up below the image.
White and yellow paint splatters and have randomly added to the card front.
