Good morning everyone. Hope this finds you all well.
Hopefully you are all equipped with your masks for your supermarket shop from Friday. I'm keeping fingers crossed that folk don't think that its a licence to come closer as that has been my experience in supermarkets previously and I have had to remind people to stay 2m away.........I did think about taking a 2m long pole with me to to brandish at offenders but I would probably get done for assault.
I am back to work and would normally wear a mask when using my drill but now I am wearing it throughout the entire appointment.and have a new found empathy with NHS staff who have been having to wear them all day.
Now, back to all matters crafty. I was very surprised and honoured to be approached by the magazine, who produced John's last box set, asking if I could make some samples for them for John's latest set. I was thrilled to be on the cover of the last one, when I had made samples for John but it was lovely to be asked by the magazine directly.
John will be featuring the set on Hochanda today and it is an autumnal theme, with dies, stamps and embossing folder.
Ingredients
Black card
Copper ridged card
Copper engraving art board
Stamp and embossing folder from the kit
Fine grade sand paper
Picket Fence distress ink
You all know I like a bit of scratching so with part of the remit I was given being use dark cardstock, I thought of the scrape rboard straightaway.
I embossed some of it with the folder and gently sanded the raised areas to reveal the copper foil below. I also used one of the stamps as the focal point for the centre, stamping the scraper board with Picket Fence ink and then using a scraper tool to go over the image.
I was really pleased with how this turned out and the editor was too.
Hope that you can tune in to John's shows as there are more of my samples and also those of other contributors too.
As always, be good.
TTFN

Ps......we sent the harbour scene card to my brother-in-law for his birthday and he was very taken with it, wanting to know where it was, so many thanks again Littlelamb for letting me know.x
Lovely card. I'd be surprised if someone you sent a card to didn't appreciate it��. Already set the planner to record the show to watch later. WakeyL
ReplyDeleteHi Ang this is stunning. I just love it. How lovely to be contacted by the magazine directly. We have started wearing masks for shopping we didn't see the point in waiting until Friday. What strange times we live in. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteLovely card Ang. Hoping to see some more of your samples later. It’s good you were asked to do some samples. Shows they appreciate your work as we do. Glad your brother in law liked the card and you were able to tell him where it was. 😀. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHi Ang how thrilled you must have been to be asked by the magazine to make samples. I love what you have done. Very striking. I've only been out a couple of times and don't mind wearing my mask though I've gone at a time when there are less folk around so haven't encountered problems. Must be nice to be back working and having folk to talk to though
ReplyDeleteTake care love from Jackie xx
