Father's Day

Hello, I am back!

Bet you didn't even miss me.

Here I am with a card for my Dad.

I plan to be back with more stuff soon.

I stamped this gorgeous "brand new" stamp

design from Carabelle Studio - Bird Journal, 

onto water-colour cardstock.

I applied some coarse texture paste

through a CW Harlequin Stencil.

Once dry I sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang;

Clam Bake Beige

Cape Cod Coral

Then I mixed up Magicals, also from Lindy's,

Dark Truffle Brown & Milk Chocolate

into sprays and over sprayed with them.

I also made up some Nutmeg Primary elements

to spray on the texture.

Your'e the Greatest stamp - Papermania.

I love these colours.

So where have you been? I hear you saying.

Well work, obviously most of the time.

But, I am in the process of making my craft area in 

the bungalow more efficient with lots of great storage.

I do plan to actually do some crafting at some point!!

I have made a few cards that need to be uploaded and to

be perfectly honest, I am too lazy to boot up this computer

or at least I was, but it now has a new home in the guest room

which will make life far easier for me.

Got pots of flowers in my garden, hanging baskets on the

corners of the house and a Japanese Maple in the front.

It is beginning to look like someone lives here. 

My Dad cleaned all the fascias (which hadn't been done in 

a VERY long time) and it looks much neater outside.

He also recently painted my gas & electric meter doors

and the house number, so the only thinking

letting the place down is the pipes.

The birds love my feeder and I am content to sit

& watch them for hours.

I will be back soon with more photos

& craft things.
