Love life

Good morning everyone

Well the carpet is now booked so it is all systems go to get everything completed before he arrives. I am getting excited now, it has been a long time aince we had any major work done on our house and although I hate the mess it creates it is wonderful when it is finished.

I am going to try and tackle a mixed media canvas to complete our room so today I am going to be playing with ink, stencils and texture paste - wish me luck.

Today's card is a recent make for my husband's teenage neice - 

For this card I have used - 

• Sheena's A little bit sketchy Live stamp set
• watercolour card
• Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens - fig, macaroon and crystal clear
• white linen card
• matt black card
• Sheena's Day of the Dead floral fiesta stamp and die set
• Textures snow embossing folder from Crafter's Companion
• dazzler from the Hobby House

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto watercolour card which I coloured using the splodging technique.

For the background I coloured lines of colour onto the watercolour card with my Sparkle pens and then applied water to move the ink around the card. Once it was dry I ran it through the embossing folder and then sanded the colour back.

That's all from me today folks. Enjoy your Sunday.
