The weekend is in sight ...... and the sun is shining, although it's not supposed to last.
We were hoping to have a BBQ on Sunday, but if the forecast is right it's not going to happen!
Oh well!
I had a lovely day yesterday though ..... surrounded by my craft stash, and in the company of good friends. And, there was cake of course!
It was workshop day. Not usually held midweek, we all kept thinking it was Saturday ..... confused or what!!
We did complete two more pages on our calendars though ....... they're all coming along nicely.
There was a bit of everything yesterday ...... rubber stamping and heat embossing, watercolouring using ZIG Markers.
Pretty floral images in soft pastel shades ...... the embossing helps to keep the watercolour in place for a nice crisp finish
Not to worry though, if you do go over the edge ....... just add a little more water and make it part of the background, for a more softer look
And used the acetate smooshing technique to add colour onto the backgrounds ....... always fun to do, and very effective.
We used large sentiment stamps ...... they make great focal points and they were perfect for these quick and easy calendar pages
Smooshed Distress Inks again for the backgrounds, a little bolder this time though, with a touch of metallic gold in there. The hardest part of these pages was, choosing which colours to use .....
We did a bit of Ink splattering, and a touch of doodling around the sentiments using a glue pen and glitter .....
Black fine liners, gold gel pens, enamel accents or crystal glaze ....... I even added a touch more colour to the little banners on the bottom using the Distress inks again
I think we're going Autumnal for the next lot of pages. Rich, warm shades ........ with trees and leaves perhaps. Hmmm ...... better get my thinking cap on!
Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day.
Cheerio until next time ......
