Well it is a damp dreary day here today. I have been out for a walk to try out my new waterproof coat to see if it works. I am pleased to say that I didn't really get wet at all. I did treat myself to some matching gloves and of course I had a coffee while I was out. Today my dad is having a trial day at an Adult Day Care centre. I will be phoning later to see how he got on. He won't be able to tell me that is just how it is.
I thought I would share the card I made a a workshop with John Next Door which was the day after the Farnborough Craft show. I did adapt it a little when I got home.
Everything was provided in the workshop. We used the new Izink Ice to colour some white paper. We all used three shades. I chose two greens and a yellow.
The Blossom Die plate was used to cut out the flowers and they were shaped with a ball tool. Gems were added to the centres.
The Honesty heart die was cut into one of the mats. A larger heart was cut from the coloured paper to back it.
At home I had some of the coloured paper left over so I cut a sentiment to add to the card.
I was rather pleased with this card. The flowers are very pretty. I was very good and I only bought some sparkly embossing powder at the workshop. Now I am wondering if I should have bought that flower die. Oh well there will be other lovely new things out soon.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie
