What a long uneventful, unproductive weekend we just had.
Joe has not quite gotten over his cold, his laptop crashed completely and we
just got it back this morning (it turns out we don’t like to share one computer
anymore so glad to have our own again) , and I had a sleepless night Saturday
and a bad day Sunday so overall, very unproductive couple of days. In fact,
today has been busy but not in either studio so no creative endeavours today
either.
Yesterday was my youngest daughter’s birthday but her and
her family went away for the weekend so we didn’t get to see them. I did send
her a card and I decided to make it a steampunk easel card.
This is the front view. The image was coloured with both Prismacolor
pencils and some Tombow markers and then a sprinkle of Stickles here and there –
gotta have some bling! The background dark blue paper was run through the Tim
Holtz gears embossing folder which picks up the blue swirls in the image.
Likewise the yellow scallop paper (Spellbinders) and the yellow strip across
the front pick up the yellow in the image. It needed something to stop the card
from going flat so I added the small silver flower and added blue stickles in
the centre.
Here is the card on its side. These are so easy to make I
think I’m going to whip up some more.
Here’s hoping tomorrow is more productive…
Cheers
Violet
