Well the weekend sure didn’t start out very well and was too
cold for the rest of it to suit me! Friday night I went down to do some more
scrapbooking and I switched glasses (I need bifocals for everyday use but very
strong prism glasses for reading or any other close work - another problem
caused by brain surgery) and when I went to move the case I looked down and one
of the lenses was sitting all by itself! Oh no! Of course Imperial Eyewear was
closed by this time until Saturday so I thought at first I would be out of luck
but luckily I had kept my last pair of glasses and although the prescription is
a little less I could use them. So not a disaster but another problem I could
have done without! Then the cold wind came back Saturday and Sunday which meant
I was grounded for doing anything out of doors. Joe cut the grass but the
flower beds are still waiting for me to clean up. I did get lots of
scrapbooking done though. I tried sewing last night but it triggered more
spasms so I had to quit again. Today I went to London with my sister who had yet another
doctor appointment so even though I just sat in the car and sat at the hospital
waiting for her, I’m tired. It’s supposed to warm up a bit this week so I’m
hoping to get out hiking. So I had a pretty unimpressive weekend. Hope yours
was better than mine!
Today’s card is another masculine card.
The happy birthday was die cut out of the dark blue. I measured
where the dark blue would start on the light blue and made a light mark. Then I
ran the light blue through the Tim Holtz gears embossing folder leaving the
area lower than the mark out of the folder. This just embossed the top portion.
Then I ran dark blue ink on a sponge lightly over the top just hitting some of
the embossed areas, but not all, and some darker than others. I wanted the
grungy look. These are quick cards to make but very impressive.
That’s all for a cool Monday,
Cheers
Violet
