In a "blues" mood today

 

Two dry embossed card for this weeks 

IDEAS prompt from Darnell.... 

Week 3 of the month Embossing

Here's a hint... I have numerous very old dryish ink pads, which it turns out are perfect for inking the embossed raised areas of a background panel....and consequentially there was a purge of many ink pads that are absolutely useless.

Created this background, watercoloured a vase of stamped and fussy cut out tulips. Die cut a decorative curvy border and silver embossed the sentiment.

My second card also has an embossed background panel, with two of my favorite die cut flowers watercoloured and arrange behind another die cut curvy scalloped panel with a silver embossed sentiment.

Week 2 -- D for Dies

 

Die cutting this week.... for Darnells IDEAS prompt.

I managed to stir up my mojo a tiny bit and come up with two cards..  the Christmas one I totally CASed a card I saw on Penny Black fb, using a similar die I had for the gold branches inside the triangle tree.... there might be a few more of these quick and easy ones ... my Christmas stash needs quite a few more

and my second features part of a large sunflower die... I trimmed away the frame and other leaves so that only the flower remained... 

Lastly this is my latest Crochet Blanket, I've made this for my sister who lives near mum and does an amazing job helping mum.... we're off to visit mum next month to celebrate her 94th birthday

have a wonderful day, Cheers Robyn

Getting a bit Inky today

First Monday of the month and with Darnell's Weekly IDEAS prompt I've made a card with just a little bit of watercolouring using my Distress Inks. 

I die cut some daisies and leafy stems from the Sizzix Wildflower Stems #1 set and watercoloured them.  Then arranged them over an embossed section I cut to fit the bottom of the card. Lastly (but should have been firstly) gold embossed the sentiment.
