Mother Nature is cruel or is going through some very serious
personal issues and taking it out on us…. because this is what we woke up
today........
Yes, Snow! Lots of it….well at least an inch or two! See the
clumps on the clothesline – that means it was also freezing rain before the snow came. Just
yesterday Joe said, “Finally! All the snow is melted even where it was piled up
from the driveway!” Now its back! Its 2:30 in the afternoon and I just came back from
visiting and dropping off the cards for the residents at the nursing home and the
snow is still on the lawns so it’s not melting as fast as I would.
Okay, enough complaining about the weather. Here are the next
two Easter cards I made with one of my new Penny Black stamps.
The bottom card was inked up with Tombow markers, misted and
stamped on plain white cardstock. The birds are very vivid doing it this way. It
would have blended better if I had stamped it on hot press water colour paper
but I didn’t have any….but its okay. The recipient loved it so that’s what counts. More splatters of ink and wrapping of the
silk thread and it was done.
I’ve had fun playing with my new stamps although there were some
failures for sure….but that’s all part of the learning curve. I have one more
new stamp to showcase tomorrow.
That’s all for a snowy Tuesday
Cheers
Violet
