Wednesday Words

Back down to earth today with supermarket shopping with my dad on the agenda, not going to be a patch (pun) on my shopping trip yesterday.  More about that at the end of this post.

I had great fun last night making the card I'm sharing today, got a bit messy too - not usually keen on that.  I used the layout from CAS(E) this sketch as a starting point.

I read about the technique I used for the background of my card here and then followed the link to Jennifer McGuire's blog where there's a great video about how to do it.  Also picked up a couple of other tips in this video too, she's just so talented!

So out came my favourite colours and the new Uniko Studio Stunning Snowflakes stamps set.  I do love all the snowflakes in this set, but the one I used on this card has to be my favourite - I know this because it's the one I keep putting on the block!  I added three hand cut snowflakes - didn't buy the die, silly me - just to give a little more dimension.


  

Supplies:
Stamps: Unilo Studio, Stunning Snowflakes
Inks: Versamark; Ranger distress ink, chipped sapphire, dusty concord, stormy sky
Embossing: opaque white powder
Mica powder, violet
Washi tape

So this is just one corner of where I went yesterday - Stitchcraft Studio, Grantham. The selection of fabrics is just so overwhelmingly gorgeous and everyone there so friendly and helpful. 


And here are my selected bales:


And this is what they looked like after the lengths were cut:





Obviously a Christmas themed project in mind, watch this space!  And yes I have completed my last patchwork project.  So this:


Has now turned into this:


Thanks for dropping by today.
