Its Frrrriday....!

Hi Folks

It's Friday and I have just been back and answered all your lovely comments so don't forget to go check out your replies, I feel so blessed to have you all on here you are all sooooo fabulous darling hehe.
Welcome welcome to all the new ladies who have subscribed since the last C&C shows and I believe we are getting near to some giveaways, 10 more subbies and I have 200 so I will do a big ole giveaway with lots of goodies then so encourage anyone you know who would like to try to win some goodies to come sign up and we will get there in no time I am sure.
In the meantime starting next week I will go back to giving some cards away etc so we will gradually get all that good stuff going again now I'm back , yup I am definitely back and loving being with you.

So today I am going to show another couple of cards from the show last week and I hope you like them so without further ado.

 Here was my aged sepia toned offering from the show , simply called Bon Voyage. I actually love sepia tones be it in old pictures or mixed media which you all know I love anyway but it is just so warm and yet subtle, I love black and white photos too and have some really gorgeous ones of me and my late husband with the kids which he took with the filters on to make it that tome, brilliant.

 Here is a close up on the gorgeous old car and you can see I used the script stamp in the background which I made inky and flicked water at and dabbed with kitchen paper to create those splatters over it too.

 Another viewpoint to show off the layers and the bow was tied with some of the Bakers twine all Creative expressions which I know a lot of you have of course.

So here is the long angle again the card is actually taupe and the layers are black but for some reason it looks a navy tone on here but it is definitely black.

So on to card number two.

'Carte Postale'

This was the background that Lovely Leonie really wanted me to show but we ran out of time (as always, I definitely need a longer show with her). I will do a background very similar soon so I can show you how it is done with all the layers as I promised on the show I would.

 Here is a longer view and on just the page I used for the backing there is 5 layers of embossing alone, then all the mats and layers build this one up nicely don't you think?
I used the Adirondak Inks on the show in Citrus and Plum to create this one too, Love the combo and still totally possible to give to a man as I kept the bow to the hemp natural material too.

I loved this little verse so I took a close up so you could all read it too (even though it is a little burred tut)

Ok my lovely blogglies I hope you have a wonderful day and that it is sunny and a good one for you all, I look forward to reading all your lovely kind words later and of course answering them too.

While I think of it , I have a new day to blog for Visible Image which will go from Sunday to Wednesday and in the meantime i will be catching up with lots of goodies to show you all.
My next shows at the moment unless anything changes are the 8th and 20th October on C&C so leave a note in your diaries.

Huge crafty hugs to you all

love

Kim
