Spilt Milk

Well today is a very odd day.   It is the 30th April so really to late for April showers but we got them with high winds combined with the now normally quiet roads it rather feels like a Sunday from decades ago when Sundays were days where things stopped no shops open, church services on both the radio and television.  Your mother would be in the kitchen cooking the traditional Sunday Roast while your father dominated the sitting room pontificating on the evils of modern life.  

There is a surreal stillness in the air, an anticipation of something significant happening while at the sometime the expectation of anticlimax.   On the other hand I might just be very very bored!

Anyway I made a card just the one today and here it is.

The cat and the milk are both of course from the Tim Holtz set, I think it might be the first time I have inked this particular cat stamp!  Both cat and milk have been coloured with ProMarkers.  Vanilla for the milk, Warm Grey 2 & 3 for the cat.  The ink splat die is certainly being used for the first time and must have been waiting for it's moment for a couple of years.   Milk and splat are lifted off the base card by sickly pads of differing heights.

One of those cards when you are so satisfied with yourself that you are done for the day.  The chef's comment, "Yeah I really like that, the composition is all wrong but it works brilliantly."

Challenges I've seen this week and which will have been in my subconscious are:

Less is more - Scribbles Dribbles and/or Splats; 2nd entry

Dream Valley - Our 4 legged friends

Little red wagon - White (or any block colour) space
