Well down to my usual lack of scheduling and a few hours delay on my flight back from Egypt then todays post is a little late! For some reason I couldn't get my head round the 7 day thing as well as the time difference so there was no post scheduled for today! Suffice to say That I had a fab relaxing time and managed to recharge my batteries in the sun!
A bright sunny card for today, another form my shows for C&C US. This is made using the technique of adding clear embossing powder over an embossed panel and heating it. This gives the look of a glazed tile and in the case of this primrose card, intensifies the colour.
This is again a short post as although I should be going to bed I have prep to do for tomorrow workshops at Pickwell farm and I am due at CE Towers at 9am! (really need an assistant to plan my time lol)
Enjoy...
Morning John, better late than never and worth the wait it is gorgeous and love the flowers, glad you had a nice rest now back to the grindstone.

ReplyDeleteGood to know you're back. Mr D thought you'd be snapped up by another C&C (Cairo and Craft lol!)
Fabulous sunny card today. Not getting the glossiness of the embossing on my screen but certainly do get the intensity of the colour.
No rest for you now you're back.
Better hop to it myself.
Catch up soon matey.

ReplyDeleteA lovely sunny card today. I'm glad you had a lovely holiday. But it's hard when you have to go straight back to work. As Lorna said any of us would be glad to assist you.
This embossing of the background really makes the card stand out, what a brilliant idea, will give it a try, a lovely card all round....thanks Ursula xx

Morning John,
ReplyDeleteGlad you arrived back safely. The card is lovely today nice and bright.
Will have to give this technique a go, once I finish making the baby quilt. The front is done so am doing well considering I can only manage 1 hour maximum sitting using the sewing machine.
Looking forward to more of your wonderful cards. Hope you manage to get some sleep
