…. Bad sciatica is currently curtailing my activities but I am still managing to finish some work.
Happy St Patrick’s… smooshed inks!
I just wanted to try out a different style for the Jofy Jamboree
A free stamp (peony?) and Happy Birthday onto smooshed inks background: Wild Honey/Spiced Marmalade/ Seedless Preserves and lots and lots of little circles!
A smooshed background, Tim Holtz stamps, stencilling, cogs & brads on a black diecut mounted on a white card…. A man card!!!
I love the stamps that Jo Firth-Young creates but I’ve never got around to buying any, I just want them all!!! Anyway I was inspired by a recent article of hers…
My granddaughter works at a Doggy Daycare centre, has 3 dogs at home as well as a cat. Her dog Roxy is a blue staffie cross from the shelter that she works with & her cat is a long haired rescue that she got while she was away in college. Definitely a girl that loves her animals! I wanted to acknowledge her love of animals so I had a rake around my stamps and found a few that worked together.
I started out with the darker multi coloured background with versamark ink & white embossing but I hated the loss of the detail so went with the Ripe Persimmon/ speckled egg/ walnut stain + black ink and edged with Promarker in a dark warm grey.
The muse is still with me thankfully so I am making the most of it!
I have made a card for my grandson who is a keen musical amateur dramatist. I was inspired by a recent post in a magazine that used Visible Image stamps- something that I don’t possess but I did have something similar for the background so I did my own version.
…. It’s a bit like a duck or swan around here! Busy with all sorts but I still try to get some form of creative work done on a daily basis.
