Yeah I know I've been making these cards, which are sort of Festive, doesn't mean it has to happen so soon. :-(
I am liking these woodware stamps, easy to manipulate, see how I made the 'lines' fit the original line? Genius or what? No it wasn't good fortune, for a change it was planned, well up to a point. I plan in my head, I have an image of what I want to achieve, if possible, then I go for it - it either works or it doesn't. In this instance it did, I even managed to cover up a mistake or two.
At least today we had some decent weather, yesterday was a write off, no point in even venturing beyond the front door, vicious winds, and horizontal rain, not a good combo! I stayed put, sadly so did Mum, couldn't really blame her for not wanting to venture out it was so foul, but that meant me having to cook on a Tuesday! Unheard of! Well mum usually meets up with old work friends, they enjoy a very long lunch, so that means I don't have to cook us dinner. Mum muttered something about eating out, forget that, paying through the nose for some over priced meal? Nah, liberated a couple of chicken breasts, and we had a lovely stir fry, followed by... mince pies! Was hoping to resist till December arrived, but when you can get 6 for a quid...
More crafting today, think I have got a system going now for the brayering, do that first, make up X amount of cards, let them dry, then go back and do the stamping. Worked a treat today. Mind you I was doing the easy one, the sunset brayer technique is far more involved. Will be doing some tomorrow. Someone suggested making TH 12 days of Christmas, I was in a ratty mood, so they got a ratty reply, which was undeserved. I like some of what Tim does, but it is also drab, the grunge thing can only be tolerated for so long. I watched his blog video, okay for him, he has all of his products, he doesn't have to buy them, we do, and they are pricey. I just get bugged by this stuff, TH is a nice guy, but his stuff is pricey.
Must think about scrapbooking as well, not done any for ages, really neglecting it. Best find out where I put my scrapping mojo...
All for now... will take photos of new works tomorrow, got too dark to take any this afternoon! But did make 4 cards!
Thanks for stopping by, take care and stay warm....
