A bit of this, a bit of that!

Hi
Cannot believe I am keeping this blogging malarkey up, to be honest I find it quite therapeutic, how strange.


This morning I suddenly remembered it was my sisters wedding anniversary this week.  Made a quick card using  mostly Tim's products as always.
Ranger Manila card stock
Tissue Paper
Fired Brick distress ink
Fired Brick stain
Rose trim




I am going to enter it in both Grungy Monday and Simon Says challenges as it fits both criteria

This is the first page I am going to show of my new found craft of art journalling.  All I can say is it is a work in progress, I have made a few errors along the way, but isn't that how you learn? I absolutely love hidden writing.  Think I need a trip to see the one and only Dy to assist me to progress..  I must remember not to buy anything when I am there, yeah right!
Okay big breath

I have used a number of Dy new and old stamps and the background colours are Distress stains.  I had to Gesso the big white patch of flowers to hid a BIG error of judgement...................Need help now



Thanks for looking.

  1. What a lovely Valentine's card - and your Dylusions page is great - try spraying one of the ink sprays (brown or perhaps red?) over the gesso'd flowers - would tone it down a bit. You could even add more gesso'd flowers to make it look intentional. That's my two cents... I think it looks FAB! Thanks for sharing your projects with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show.
