Lace & Pearls


Penny Black 67 - Lace & Pearls
Along with the cute PB Hedgie stamped image which was coloured using watercolour pencils I used a couple of Die cut and embossed Nestie labels for mounting. For a change I used Lakeland's paper lace as I received some as a gift.
The sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts
The base card, paper and pearls from my stash.

365 x 2

Time for a bit of a catch up over at 365 Cards after a wonderful day yesterday at the wedding of my son Barney and his beautiful fiancee Elen. I only took a few terrible snapshots as my camera is so old and I had to do them from wherever I was sitting at the time. So I will show some better ones when I get the official photographer ones.
So on with what I have been catching up with
Day 180 - Going Vintage, so a vintage image needed here
Day 181 - White Space, a given sketch where only the black portions could be decorated however we want
180



The vintage image is from a misc. pictorial rubber stamp. Which led to me getting out my Anna Griffin vintage looking paper and some lace. I finished off with some glittery stickers from my stash adding a little piece of pink ribbon and a word sticker by Kay & Co.





181
I thought border stamps when I saw the sketch and dug out these ancient SU stamps (1998) which I inked up wuth Versafine Onyx black and coloured with PM's and Copics, I had fun doing this as colouring always takes me back to my childhgood.
The lettering was from some oddment of rub-ons and a few dots with a pen. I smooshed round the edges of the card pieces with Adirondack 'Meadow'

Super Sketchy Sunday 176







Well, what a palava I've had today! I must have been watching too much athletics on the TV and decided that the lawn mower looked a good possibility for a hurdling session when I was going down the path to hang my washing out....you quessed it, not a good move, and landed flat out on the path, knickers and pegs adorning the grass. Now this was one scary moment as I had knee replacement surgery at Christmas and it's not the thing to be happening.
I'm pretty banged about and aching from top to toe, but us crafters have to soldier on regardless
So it's.....

The start of another week over at
365 Cards
These sketches are always deceiving. They look simple but then I find I'm struggling to make the card look anything like acceptable.

The papers used were a great piece out of my box which was lilac with lime green spots but hasn't scanned well at all. The floral corner is cut from a piece of Kay & Co.
I added a Kay & Co 'Romanza' embossed die cut butterfly and used a clear sparkle Sakura pen to highlight parts of the butterfly and the flowers, all of which has not scanned either.
The piece of pink lace and lilac buttons from my stash.
Well I am off to rest my sore bones in bed and just hope I am able to move in the morning.
So goodnight all, and TFL. :-)

Lovely Lace


365 Cards Day 160 is Lovely Lace
So the idea is to feature lace on your card.

I have not made a card but a tri-fold pocket to use for the vouchers I have for my son's wedding gift.
I really struggled with this, as I always do when I make anything that needs measuring and cutting.......arrrggghhh!!!!, at one point I even said to myself, er! what's 90degrees???...my brain was that befuddled.

Double sided card - Costco
Cream and Pink ribbons - SU Very Ivory and Regal Rose
Corsage pin - eBay
Felt flower - Sugar & Spice
Sentiment stamp - Quietfire Designs
Lace and pearls from my stash
