Our
heat wave ended last night; the A/C is off; windows are open! We had an ‘it’s-going-to-rain-any-minute’
weather on Saturday so we opted to stay home – but it didn’t actually rain here
until after supper but it was hot and humid so not very pleasant outside.
Sunday was also a chance of a thunderstorm but we decided we were tired of
staying home and we decided to take a trip up to Sarnia
The ferry - family run; friendly staff; wonderful cruise!
On the Ferry
And
after the ferry ride we bought veggie burgers and fries under the Blue Water
Bridge
I
will get to the card in a minute but first I want to share this picture with
you.
The lady on the left is my almost-79 year old sister, Pearl Ottawa River ! She is something
else, that sister of mine. She is a stage 4 colon cancer survivor too! Her huge garden, which she looks after herself, is like a miniature Royal Botanical Garden and is a favourite on the garden tours; and she loves zip lining too! What an inspiration for all!
And
now for the card! I’m always trying to find new ways to make masculine cards….so
they look nice but no bows; glitter, etc. Here’s one that I quite like.
I
used the same technique as described in a post from last week by sponging on
ink through a die cut template. This time I made a straight line near the
bottom in darker ink so the truck (an old Tim Holtz stamp) would not look like it’s floating – it looks
like it’s a bit airborne on a rough road but that’s okay. This was then mounted on a piece of
designer paper from the stash that luckily was in the same colour family and
then onto a Kraft card base. I hand cut the banner and then added the black
peel-off sentiment. The inside says, “You’re not old; you’re a classic”.
That’s
all for a cool and cloudy Monday, July 24, 2017.
Cheers
Violet
