Miles More...

Happy Saturday,

I'm in Strikes Garden Centre in Northallerton today so if you are around pop in and say hi!  I will be demoing all the dies form this weeks shows as well as a little Christmas!  Its a short post today I'm afraid as i seem to be racing from one location to another again lol

I thought you might like to See one of the samples from yesterdays shows on Hochanda,  I demoed this in the blues but I have to say whilst i love my china blues I think this came out really well in this peach, white and black combination.

I coloured the stamped images in the markers I had on the show and used the fabulous resist ink form Creative Expressions and cosmic shimmer to remove some of the colour form the centre flowers to give the washed out look.
More tomorrow...

Enjoy....

    Morning John, oh where do you get your energy from, all the wonderful shows on Hochanda yesterday, yes I saw them all and liked the mention thank you, (I feel like royalty now). The shows were truly amazing and I learnt so much with all those little tips. I have one for you (which you probably know), when I use my GC plates I keep one side of the cutting plate only for white card and the other side for all colours, you would be amazed how much longer the plates last that way..............I am not teaching granny to suck eggs am I?. I also have a big shot and an eBosser and I do the same with the plates for them.

    Enjoy your day at Northallerton .

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

      Hi June

      Never thought to keep one side of the GC cutting plates for white card. Thanks for the tip I'll remember that for when I get new plates.

    Morning John,
    I love this die, and really like the stamps that go with it. You are bad as my fingers are itching to buy the stamps now.
    I watched almost all of your shows yesterday but have taped them all.
    Have a great day.

    Good morning John this is a stunning card I do like this colour combination. We are staying in Boston, Lincolnshire I did look to see how far Northallerton is from here but it is too far. We are probably going bird watching. Have a great day. Hugs Jackie

    Another lovely card which look good in both colours. Enjoyed what I caught of your shows. Dec 12 seems a long way off for a day off! Have a good day in Northallerton. As for me, Anne and I are at Nene Lacemakers lace day - lots of natter and hopefully some lace for a few hours!

    Hi John, I saw you demo this card in blue, brilliant demo. I missed your 12 o'clock demo because the recorder had a gremlin, but reset it for the remainder of your shows. You deserve a rest, but there you are on the road demoing! Hope you have fun.

    Hi John,
    I love this card and I think both the blue and the peach ones are beautiful. I think that whatever colours you used it would look lovely. Your shows yesterday were great, take care while you're out and about. I hope you get some time to relax before December 12th.
    Thanks for sharing,

    Hi John,
    Oh wow John, I have ordered the Heraldic die and this stamp, cos I loved the blue from a couple of days ago, and today's card just proves what a brilliant purchase I have made. Thanks for all your designs and inspiration!
    Shows were fabulous yesterday.

    Hi John,

    Didn't comment yesterday as I was ill in bed so I'll say now I loved yesterday's card. And today's is just as beautiful.

    Managed to watch your flower tutorials the other day and all I can say is brilliant!! you were amazing on your own and you should have your own show well done!! I've recorded the recent shows so I hope that it's more of the same, just you on your own.

    It's not good for you all this rushing around so be careful.

    Hugs

    Hi John
    This is such a beautiful card? I don't normally gravitate towards this colourway, but this is gorgeous. Must go outside my 'go-to' colours. Best wishes, Anne O

    Hi John, I have never done a peach card, but after seeing this pretty card, I think I will give it a go.
    Have a good weekend. Don't know where you get the energy hahaha.
    June, I have always done the same as you with my plates, I had one incident where I cut a die on white card, the plate had previously been used on a dark colour, and I got bits of dark on my white card, so every plate used since then has a designated 'side' specifically for cream/white card and the darks for the other side of the plate.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Wow what a beautiful summery card, those colours I would never have put together but I will now as they go so perfectly together.
