I'm not sure we need rain as much as some other places, and it quite possibly it is not good for the crops at this time of year. Certainly has not done me any favours today. Thought I'd have a nice morning walk to the shops, about a mile away. Just as I was about to go out the havens opened and it was not passing quickly so I drove. Still wanting to get as many steps in as I could today set myself some targets. There is a walk around the garden 6 times that gives me 1000 steps so lots of those would be ideal if they could be done when it was not tipping it down. I do not mind walking in thunder but some lightening would have been nice, but no just thunder clap after thunder clap rolling around overhead. Did get some of my steps in but not enough. There is another indoor walk that involves going up and down stairs 10 times to get 1000 steps in. Just have to put it down as good indoor exercise am still hoping to manage 22000 today but had wanted more.
Actually all the around home walking has also eaten my creative time, another reason why I wanted to walk to shops this morning. hay ho.
This is a journal page put together over the last couple of days.
We Love Chocolate Baroque are looking for Beautiful Blooms this month. I wanted to join in and I wanted to use both the Hydrangea stamp and the Butterfly. Have inked coloured and fussy cut them I used a piece of rejected dry embossing as background. It was then that I realised I did not want to make a card, so how to use them.
That black journal again as the pages are just the right size. Painted the page with various Imagination Crafts star lite paints green, blue, pink and cream layering them and mixing the a little. Next a Tim Holtz stencil with a glitter embossing paste pushed through in small sections. Then the toppers were added, the flower head and the butterfly wings shaped with a ball tool and attached with silicon glue to help keep the dimension.
Couple of other challenges who might smile at this

You are right about the rain and crops, we are way behind with hay and it's going to make it expensive come Winter and a lot was laid by the storms. But you would never know the days are not sunny and bright from your creation Zoe, so fresh and colourful and spot on with the Hydrangeas as mine are beautifully in bloom as they are close to the hose and protected.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for being a visitor to We Love Chocolate Baroque again and sharing your pretty creation.
