zooom zoooooom September goes by ------ and hardly any time at my desk to make some cards... well really the mojo just vanished even with Darnell's Weekly IDEAS prompt.... nothing from me!!!! I wasn't idle though ... the garden fared well, and a couple of birthdays were celebrated and of course there was some (well quite a bit) of crochet

End of the Month and Two Cards
Thursday 5 September 2024
Happy September
Hello and welcome to the first week of a new month
I'm late this week making cards as I've been crocheting while watching the US Tennis Open where a few Aussies have competed amazingly... and then after that we've had the Paralympics - always astounded by the determination and achievements of these athletes.My first card is for the new inspiration at
the Group of Seven Cardmakers who have inspired us with this month - to work with Vellum
I've cheated a little by using vellum which already has a design on it, but then I've stamped and embossed the sentiment.... I've a new embossing ink pad and the white embossing isn't the best.
And as it's a new week I have Darnell's IDEAS prompt to inspire me -
First week - Using Ink/ Colour mediums
so here's my second card which is nearly monochromatic - I opted to ink up the floral stamp with blue Distress Ink and the detail doesn't need for me to do any more.... just stamped and silver embossed the sentiment ... I thought it needed a lift so framed it with orange layer onto a blue panel.
and while I was searching through my long forgotten stamps I chose to stamp this image and used coloured pencils to colour it and framed it onto a large red card.
