Morning lovelies - wow - wasn't it amazing yesterday? What a stunning day! We had a walk/bike ride along the prom in Morecambe and had lunch on the pier. It was glorious - little Penny has just managed to get confident on her bike and is able to start herself off now - its been a long road since the stabilisers came off in July - but we're finally there!!!!
On Thursday I had a bit of a crafternoon with my mum - we did the first project on Sheenas new CD - although the results are far from perfect I thought I'd show it here as we had such a lovely time! I've mounted the project onto black card run through the grand calibur with the maple leaf folder from sheena. It wasn't mounted onto a card whan I took the picture but it is now.
I used brass regular wow powders, pebeo acrylic paints and stamps from the lantern, silhouette and sakoura stamp sets. My overstamping needs work - but I'll get there - but all in all I'm quite pleased!
I'm not entering this card into any challenges as its a copy of a design - but I did want a go so here it is.
Have a fabulous Sunday - and big Crafty Hugs

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel this is gorgeous, what a marvellous job you've made of the embossing, and the colours are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI watched Sheena's shows and will have to get the stamps at some point too.
A day out in Morecombe, how lovely, I like down there and we have friends in Heysham whom we love to visit and there is always a walk along the prom on offer. Well done Penny!! no stopping you now, have a great day, hugs Kate x
A beautiful card Rachel as always. I love the image and the colours are fab. So pleased Penny can now ride her bike. My Grandson has also just learned to ride his bike too. We have quite a long driveway between his house and ours and he spends hours riding up and down . Can't get him off it now lolls !! Hugs Jennifer xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card Rachel, I love the embossed backing you made too. I really want to try that idea (bought the embossing folders and stamps). Glad you had a great day yesterday, at 9.00 am across Bodmin Moor it was lashing it down, it didn't really stop until we hit somerset.
