About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Summer of Colour - Week 3

Oh some lovely soft gentle colours this week over on the Summer of Colour Challenge and another page in my DLP. The colours are Lavender, Grey & Plum, hmmm gorgeous.

This is my second attempt. I tried it first on an embossed piece of card and aimed to emphasize the bird in the cage but made it worse. So I tried again on some plain card and stamped with a different inkpad. My Plum is the little heat embossed butterfly, the splashes of ink and the border.

You must have enjoyed these colors, because I see you were quick to make your SOC entry this week. I think this is beautiful, and I like how you admit your errors. Of course, I really like the bird and the bird cage. I promise not to call it "wet" embossing this time (grin).

It certainly paid off with a second try. It's gentle, soft and romantic. Lovely work.

A lovely peaceful picture, and I like the way you have used the colours. I also like the strip down the right side which gives a very nice finishing touch.
