Well last night was an interesting…and
scary night! Once again we were under a tornado watch/warning….it kept changing
from one to the other. Luckily one did not form enough to touch down but it was
very windy and lots of lightning. Windsor , which
is about an hour’s drive west of here, has more lightning strikes per year than
any other city in Canada Great Lakes .
That ends your science lesson for today! Ha! I used to run a weather station in
a small airport up north and had to learn all about clouds and other weather
info; record and send it to Toronto
Today’s card is a sympathy card that
would be appropriate to send to a man….they don’t like flowers and fluff but
still appreciate a card.
I
started out with plain white cardstock and sponged several colours of ink to
form the sky….likely mostly Distress Inks because I like how the blend…. I
splattered some water on it to get those lovely blotches of light colour. The
lighthouse, sand, birds and reeds are part of the Stampin’ Up High Tide stamp
set….love this set! I believe the lighthouse was stamped with Stampin’ Up Crumb
Cake and then Early Espresso. The sand was a stamped several times with various
colours of brown ink….this is why I love my Tim Holtz stamp positioner. The birds
were also stamped with Early Espresso. I sponged brown ink around the edges. Then
it was glued to a Kraft card base. I think the sentiment is from a Close to My
Heart stamp set.
That’s all for a lovely Wednesday,
September 26, 2018….can you believe September is almost over? I can’t either.
Cheers
Violet
