Another gorgeous day here in Ontario….but it will be short lived
as they are calling for rain tomorrow and Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday!
Friday will be the only rain free day at this point. So glad we got a bike ride
in today – almost 29km today at Rondeau
Park. I mentioned the
fierce thunderstorms that we had Sunday night and it turns out that more rain fell
during the storm then we normally get in a month! No wonder there was so much
flooding. June had already broken the record for the amount of rain fall before
the thunderstorm too. It’s been a wet one and now they (so called experts) are
saying July and August are going to be record breaking hot and humid temperatures.
Can’t win!
Today’s card is another one made with one of Tim Holtz’s crazy
bird stamp.
The bird was stamped with Rangers Archival ink on plain white
cardstock but the image and background were painted with water colour paints.
As long as you don’t saturate the cardstock it works well. This bird seemed to
be staring off into space so I added the “thinking of you” peel-off silver
sentiment and the fancy silver line under it. The card base is Stampin’ Up,
Night of Navy I think, and is folded at the top. Then I added a piece of
designer paper cut a little smaller and then the stamped and coloured image.
The edges of the stamped panel were inked with the Night of Navy stamp pad.
By the way, if you are a regular reader of my blog, you may
recall that I complain sometimes that the camera seems to change the colour of
some of the paper so things do not look like they match. Well, I took the
camera into the shop on Tuesday and it turns out someone (and I’m the only one
that uses it) accidently changed a setting on it that did indeed adjust colours.
Ooops. But the fellow was nice enough to show me how it happened and how to
correct it. Nice people at Henry’s Camera.
That’s all for what was a sunny warm Wednesday,
Cheers
