Creative Expressions Thursday , ( A day late) !

Hi Crafty folk.

Ooo I missed a day out this week , now how does that happen, well I will tell you , are you all sitting comfortably? good then I will begin.

I uploaded the pictures for today's card and edited them all and that was that, I do not know why for one moment I did not do the blog post there and then but I didn't. Today I had to take my car for an MOT and it failed but I quickly got it fixed (ouch my pocket is lighter) and then it passed thankfully as it has a couple of long journeys to do next week. All I can think of is that I was thinking of that but I didn't even think of the blog post until My lovely friend at Creative Expressions asked me if I had done it oh dear the shame, hangs head lol...

Oops  so although a day late I hope you like it. 

 

I used the lovely Get well sentiment stamp for this one and stamped out just the bottom of the pattern with Plum archival ink . Then the next mat is in the gorgeous plum card I love so much as you all know, I also wrapped some ribbon in 40mm wide organise in a contrasting colour.

I took Raisin Adirondack ink and stamped out just the  bottom part of the get well stamp first to see how several  image look in a row together, I really liked the effect so I decided to cut a piece for my card.

 Here is the Archival ink in plum that I used to stamp the main images and I used snow cap to add to the Scented Corner stamp to created the chalkboard effect on the Kraft card behind the main focus.

  I also used a little white gel pen to accent the swirls in the patterns.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

 Here's another view with more of that gorgeous stamp, the white pen is also in between each stamped image.

My bow in a lilac colour is a double bow, with so Tulle and card twirls and of course one of the gold ribbon roses.

these are the two singles stamps I used for this project.

A close up on the centre and feature and I used 4 Adirondack colours for this one which I will show below. I also used some pearl swirls and added some gold tiny gold pearls randomly.

Here are the inks used to colour the images

    The finished image of today's card..
