Well we did get some rain but not a real good drenching.
Hopefully some more will come tonight. This has been a busy day so far with
lots of errands and some groceries bought this morning and replacing batteries
in all Joe’s solar lights this afternoon. Some of the lights are old and we had
to sort out which ones were still good and which ones were ready to be
discarded. He loves his solar lights and I must admit I enjoy them too. His
other passion is lighthouses so he has five solar lighthouses too. There is one
big one that is years old and rusting out so it is pretty much just a
decoration; two are ones we bought, one the girls gave him for Father’s Day
last year and I made him one out of clay pots. I think that’s enough
lighthouses!! The other solar lights are just the normal individual lights.
The nice weather is fast approaching and that means more
time outside and less time card making, quilting and painting so from now on
don’t be surprised if there is only a posting two or three times a week.
Today’s card was made using my new to me butterfly stamp
that is now my favourite. This is the one my friend who gave up card making
gave me. Nice to have friends!
I stamped the butterfly, coloured it with water colour
pencils and blended it with water and then cut it out. The brown piece of
cardstock was run through an embossing folder, just getting part of it and then
I lightly sponged some white ink over it. I die cut the strip with the
Spellbinder’s die and did the same to a strip of the same brown cardstock and
then placed the light coloured one on top so the brown would show through and
then added the ribbon which happens to match the background paper. The butterfly
was glued on last. The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up.
That is all for a cool Tuesday!
Cheers
Violet
