Well
we just had a pretty ‘iffy’ weather weekend. It kept calling for rain on
Saturday so we ditched the BBQ idea and just went out to the park for a bike
ride – 27.5 km. We did have a few raindrops hit us off and on but just drops –
until we left at 5:30. It rained then and it poured rain on Sunday with wild
winds….which flattened my peonies and knocked off the orange iris – now in a
vase on my counter! Today was a lovely day which was really nice because my
sister had a doctor’s appointment in London
Today’s
card is another Stamping Bella stamp – but an oldie so not sure it is still
available as I don’t go to her site anymore……her shipping costs to Canada are
the same as to Europe so I don’t even look at it anymore…..but I still love her
stamps that I do have.
Once
again the image was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and the background was
sponged with pink and yellow chalk. It was die cut with a Spellbinder’s die and
left in the die while I did the chalking which leave a white crisp border.
Glossy Accents was added to the lollipop to make it look like candy. Wink of
Stella was added to the dress to give it a bit of a shimmer. The sentiment was
die cut with a very old Cuttlebug die. The background on the right was run
through a Cuttlebug slim die. The paper on the right was hand stamped by a few
different stamps I have. The light purple just needed a little something extra
so the butterflies seemed to do the trick. The two pieces of cardstock was
taped together at the back and then a piece of pale purple ribbon was glued
down the seam. The teenage and pre-teen girls seem to really like the stamp.
That’s
all for a lovely Monday……. but apparently the lovely weather is coming to an
end again as we are under a severe thunderstorm watch…..and even funnel clouds
are possible. Hopefully it won’t be too bad of a storm.
Cheers
Violet
