Now there was a fake advice thingie going round FB a couple of months back. It was loaded with ways to beat the virus. One suggestion was to sun bath as the virus does not like the heat. Well if there was even a fragment of truth in that conditions here should be killing it off with ease. Sadly with many areas being put back into lock down that is not what is happening.
In the mean time my skin is leaking from every pore, and my glasses they appear to be designed to what what eyebrows should, if only I had not plucked mine to extinction in my youth. Very thin pencil line brows were the fashion then.
So I just play in the craft room and hope my melting will not get onto my creations. Here are a couple of things from yesterday.
Flippin' heck the new Blogger is a pain with pictures, and what is this business of the first line below the image being blue and underlined?
Well card 1 above is a post card and a CAS design using a favourite poppy image, the very best way to see poppies is on the verges of country roads often with a field of ripening grain behind them. Simply stamped in black and coloured with felt pens, the "frame" is free hand with just 4 corner dots for placement.

Now my second project this time a Tag. I really enjoy working on Tags they are so versatile and a great format, especially for one lay makes which so many of mine are. The Lighthouse is from a very recent magazine set, in fact it played a large part in my decision to purchase the set together with the magazine, to my way of thinking these days with these plates it is the magazine that is the "free" gift!
Stamped the main image in Versafine Grey and then coloured it with ProMarkers. The gulls are just part of another stamp in my stash. The big wave coming in from the right is made of Lava Paste heated so it has masses of texture and then coloured with felt pens. The sand at the base of the cliff is another texture paste, there is also some green texture paste on the cottage roof.

ReplyDeleteThe Poppy postcard is so pretty Zoe and the tag is fabulous. I have the lava paste on my wishlist....x. Hope you enjoyed the formula 1 today? x.
ReplyDeleteYour poppy card is fabulous and reminds me that I really need to get out into the countryside sometime soon. I can't get on with the new blogger, I've reverted back to the old one already, I'm too old for all this messing lol. Thank you for sharing with us at Less is More.

I love poppies and your card is stunning! Thanks for playing along at CAS on Friday!!
ReplyDeleteThat hot weather wasn't very conducive to any activities! I had to force myself to craft... Both card and tag are great!
ReplyDeleteYou've created two pretty cards. Thanks for playing along with us at Make My Monday Challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creative projects in the future galleries again.
ReplyDeleteLove your summery tag. I'd love to spend a few days in a lighthouse. I think you'd get a lovely cool breeze from this one! I like the way you have combined the different stamp sets and that lovely addition of the texture pastes. Thank you for joining in with our challenge over at A Vintage Journey. Toni x
