We
had a wonderful weekend and got some much needed exercise as well. Saturday we
took the bikes out to Rondeau Provincial Park for another bike ride…. we thought we were going to be rained out a few times but it past by us with
only a few drops. Sunday was wonderful
weather and no chance of rain for once so we had a wonderful BBQ with one of my
daughters, her hubby and son.
Last
week was my oldest Grandson’s birthday. Joven turned 18 and when I went to post
his card on the blog I couldn’t find it – that’s because I took the photo of it
and didn’t download it! So, I’m posting it today instead. He loves cats so I
made sure I made a card with a cat on it.
The
cat is from an Halloween Inkadinkado stamp set but I just stamped the cat in
brown ink instead of black in and it is no longer a Halloween cat! Once it was
dry I sponged on some lighter brown ink to fill in the white areas and added
some green for the eyes. It was then cut out and the edges inked with brown – I
hate white edges. The cupcake is a very old QuicKutz die. The icing is actually
thick sparkly foam and yes, it die cut it just fine. The cherry was added with a dimensional glue
dot. The background is a piece of white cardstock that I used to soak up some
ink and maybe water colour paint and it just looked like it belonged on this
card. The strip along the bottom was from the stash and it was added so that
cat had something to sit on. The sentiment was die cut in black and glued on.
Here
is the inside of the card:
That’s
all for a long Monday – July 10, 2017 – very tired today – and we had yet another
thunderstorm this morning. Tomorrow is the only day that rain and thunderstorms
are not predicted until at least next Monday – I do hope they are wrong!
Cheers
