Our cards are going to Joyce, a lead swap moderator here at SCS. Joyce unexpectedly lost her younger sister very recently. I hope our cards bring some light to Joyces day and let her know she is in our thoughts.
Sheri has started the new year with a fun challenge. Unfortunately there is nothing "Downton Abbey" or ATC about this, but it is mixed media, which Joyce loves. I learnt of Joyce's loss the other day and had already mailed this card. Thankfully I took a photo.
I kind of CASEd myself, this was made from my huge stash of mixed media offcuts. To make this a bit different from earlier cards using scraps, I used a micron pen and did some rustic looking criss crosses. I was going to have the stips horizontal, however the little light patches looked like bird droppings (not the look I was going for), so I made the strips vertical and now it looks like a light behind him. The stamped sentiment is as black as the bird but looks grey in the photo???
This gorgeous bird on a branch is an IO die designed by SCS's very own Dini. Not only is it a beatiful die, it cuts like butter. The negative of this die is perfect for stencilling too.
You will be pleased to know that I haven't broken anything this week even though I have been flat out like a one armed wallpaper hanger. I usually do everything at a million miles an hour, that is when disaster usually strikes LOL. I had planned on putting the Christmas tree away tomorrow, but it is going to be 95F (35C), so the tree can wait another day......so can the vaccuming.
Have a great week ladies and thank you for looking.
