Well,
no tornadoes touched down around here on Wednesday so that was good. Strangely
enough the people in the northern part of Chatham
did not even get any rain. We had
another thunderstorm and more rain last night as well but no damage done then either.
It keeps getting dark here today but the clouds move off to the east before it
rains. The weekend looks promising though, especially tomorrow.
This
morning I was checking the garden and I spotted these two sunflowers that
decided to open up. The birds sometimes plant various plants and flowers and I
usually just let them grow to see what they are. I assumed these were the
common yellow sunflowers but to my surprise, they are orange and yellow. Very
pretty! I had to get a couple photos of them….even though I had to stand on a
stool to get a closer view. There are some common yellow ones in the backyard
right behind the sunflower feeder and I let them grown because the American
Goldfinches love them.
Today’s
card is another one made from leftovers from other cards….and yet I like it
just fine.
This
is another sponged oval using a light covering of Stampin’ Up Night of Navy on
white cardstock. Then the image was stamped using the same colour but much
darker. Blue sequins were added at the end. I had die cut a rectangle from the
blue cardstock for mounting another image on and this negative piece was still sitting on my desk. I trimmed it even and
placed the stamped image behind it and I decided I liked it…..one more piece
used instead of in the recycle bin! The sentiment was computer generated. The
rectangle the sentiment is on was die cut with a Spellbinder’s die and while it
was still in the die I gently dusted some blue ink over it using a stiff
stencil brush.
That’s
all for a ‘right-now-sunny-but-subject-to-change-any-minute’ Friday, August 4,
2017. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and if possible, perform a random act
of kindness.
Cheers
Violet
