I can't beleive it's Friday already and I can't really identify what I have done all week. Apart from 'proper' work, my spare time seems to have drifted by in a haze preparing for various DT work and my demo day at Sir Stampalot this coming Saturday - 10 through 4, free refreshments and demo day special offers.I will be stamping with Penny Black, Hero, Inkadinkado and more and of course some nice messy background techniques, brayers and distressing.......mind you by the time they get rid of me Andy and Janice might well be the distressed ones after putting up with me all day.
Here are just a couple of the cards from the sample boards I have made up ready for Saturday. The first is very simple with a moon created by masking and using Tim Holtz broken chine and brilliance silver. Stamped with Inkadinkado 98396/97513 using versafine back and detail clear embossing powder.
The second card has a background created with Tim Holtz spiced marmalade, dusky concord and peeled paint.......now for some of my peronal technical crafting terms...... all 'splodged' onto a non stick sheet, spritzed very liberally with water then watercolour card 'swished around' in it. The image is Penny Black 3982K stamped with Versafine imperial purple and embossed with detail clear, then stamped again offset with the residue left on the stamp. The DP is Daisy Bucket, all well distressed and tattered round the edges, with cord and handmade roses made from the same matting paper.

Beautiful cards, Brenda! Hope you have fun teaching tomorrow--wish I could come! Bit of a jaunt for me, though! I think I'm going to adopt your term "splodge"--I love that!
These are lovely, Brenda! Clever 'eye' effect on the first card, and the second uses such an unusual combination of colours, but it works! Brilliant!
Hope to see you tomorrow with my mum after our shopping trip in Morrison's! :o)
Hugs,

I love the owl card it's so unique, the flourishes in the corner look great and that image is beautiful. I wish I lived nearer as I would love to come to one of your demo days. And I'd love you to teach me some of your wonderful techniques.

Hi Brenda. Sounds like you're a busy lady at the minute. Both cards are gorgeous, but I really love your owl. The inkadinkadoo stamps are beautiful aren't they and I love the moon you've created.
