Goodbye Pop On By

Uncategorized

24 May

Hello, Crafters.

Today’s card is another card I haven’t used before, and which is retiring on 3rd June 2019! I also used the High Tide Stamp Set for the birds. Yesterday I said I’d used 33 stamp sets, but I should have said 37, so now it’s 39. Plus, I now have just six unused stamp sets! Pretty good going methinks!

Today I have posted all my customers a copy of the new 2019 – 2020 Annual Catalogue. If I get the service I’ve paid Royal Mail for, everyone will receive their catalogue in time for the long weekend i.e. Monday is a Bank Holiday. If you live in Europe, and don’t already have a demonstrator, if you’d like a catalogue – English, French or German – email me your postal address and I’ll be happy to send you one!I tried today’s card by paper piecing first. but evetually decided to give up and move on to painting the images. I gave up largely because I had to keep back tracking and it was taking so long. I’ve kept what I’ve done so far so I can go back to it! I stamped the house using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, because I wanted to colour using my Stampin’ Blends. Using Light Smokey Slate, I started colouring the roof, and did a little bit of shading. I decided not to introduce the Dark Smokey Slate for shading as I like the colour as it was. To keep the colours tied in with each other, I used the same Light Smokey Slate for the door frame and the beam over the window. I chose Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo for the door and the curtains. The shading on the curtains came out really well, it’s very clearly visible. I chose the light Granny Apple Green for all the plants. One of the stamps is a small cluster of pebbles, and I used it to create the pathway. Before I started, I put one Post It Note on each side of the door at an angle. My stamping was very order tramadol cod overnight delivery random, and I kept going until it looked like a decent garden path! I sponged the lower part of the card with Granny Apple Green Ink, and the top half with Coastal Cabana Ink. The sky looked very bare even after I had stamped HOME, so I decided to add some birds from the High Tide Stamp Set. Apart from the bird that looks as if he crashed into the roof and broke his wing – I fixed it as best as I could using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker – the birds completed the picture. It just needed some bling! I used some dark pink pearls for the shrubs at either side of the house. Next I used Silver Metallic Pearls for the door handle and also to link the top and bottom sentiments. I added a layer of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock (CS) and a layer of Whisper White CS inside the card, but I didn’t decorate it. Maybe I’ll do that later today. Not the usual type of card I make, but it made a change!

That’s about it from me today. I hope you have a fabulous Friday, and I look forward to be back with you on Saturday. In the meantime, happy crafting.
