The heat wave continues but it is expected to break overnight
and be less humid tomorrow which will be a huge relief. I love the heat but the
humidity is a bit much. I’m not looking forward to winter coming but Joe really
hates the cold and snow. First thing this morning he says to me, “I’m not very
ambitious today but that’s because it’s the first day of winter!” “What?” “Winter?”
Step outside son, it’s close to 90F so winter is a ways away yet. What a guy!
Today’s card is one I made with my quilting friends in mind.
I have this very old stamp of a quilt pattern and I seldom use
it. Time to dig out some of the oldies! It was stamped on white cardstock and
coloured with my alcohol markers. Then I carefully cut around it, including all
those little stitches – maybe this is why I don’t use it often! Then I glued it
to the pink square that was die cut and embossed with a Spellbinder die. The
card base is the pretty blue so I dug through the stash for some blue and pink
paper and notched the end into a banner shape. The small banner is a Little B die
tag and the sentiment is a peel-off. Blue ink was sponged along the ends and then
pink ink was brushed over the sentiment with a stencil brush. I like this die tag
a lot because it folds in and adds dimension. It looked bare at the top so I
die cut a blue strip with a Tim Holtz die and added it.
That is all for another steamy Tuesday,
Cheers
Violet
