Life is Tweet

This is the same sketch as the previous card, yet way more simple. I wanted to have a fair amount of the really pretty paper showing, so the image was just right for me. You don't know how HARD it was/is to use pre-made pretty paper. Being as when I first started stamping, there was no such thing as pretty paper, I really did get used to making my own backgrounds and to this day, I prefer to do so!

I stamped and embossed this in fine black embossing powder (which I might toss as its coverage was a wee bit to be desired!) Then, I coloured the birds on the wire with Tombow Pens and Marvy Markers with the help of the old trusty Aquabrush.

Previously Uninked Rubber

I was about to say good morning but glancing down at the time stamp on the computer says it is 12.11 on Sunday afternoon! Now where did THAT time go?

Ok, I had a little mission to use some uninked rubber for Sassy Stampers. I should not have opened that particular Pandora's box! I have so much rubber I need to make friends with soonest!

Anyway, here is a cheerful, summery card. It still feels like summer here, though we began autumn on the 1st of March. The days are still very hot. I have my air con on. I can only imagine how hot the ladies were back when they had to wear all those layers and they had no air con. My hubby says we don't breed them tough anymore. I say...Thanks very much, I prefer now!
