Winner

 Hi Everybody,

It’s raining here and quite cold but we are cozy and warm with the log burner going. Just a little update in my self and Ruby. I have had the first of my Corona Virus injections and the second one is due in a few weeks time. I feel fine with no after effects at all. 

Ruby sadly is not well. She has an eye infection and they have to be bathed regularly and medication done five to six times a day. She is so good and I say to her “ go get in your basket and let me do your eyes”  and off she goes and patiently let’s me clean them and add the gel. She is back at the vets next Thursday so I am hoping there will be a great improvement for her. I hate to see her not well.

But onto the draw which has now been done and the name this week is ....

Lacey Nested Ovals & Viviva Colorsheets

 Hi Everybody,

The Oval is always one of my go to shapes as I really like the elegance this shape gives. And this one has been layered with foam tape to give extra dimension to it.

The Roses are stamped and die cut from the Rambling Rose and after I have added them to the oval panel I have lifted the edge of each rose for more shape

The  Roses have been water coloured and I have used  Viviva Colorsheets  They are handcrafted patches of water colour that come in a booklet for you to use.

You only need a tiny dip into them with your wet brush to pick up the colour and they will last you for ages 

You can also mix your own shades on the mixing palette at the back of the booklet and so you will never be short of the shade that you want.

Once they are dry again the will fit neatly into a pocket, along with your water brush, for you to paint on the go whenever you would like

 

This  card could be for any occasion and added to another shaped card if you wished. I have just created this as a standalone version

Play with the shape and see what you prefer landscape, portrait or added to a 5x7 base

 

I thought I would use peachy orange as this is not a colour scheme I go to very often and I do really like it whenever I do.

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with pone of my favourite collections and I love the results that I get every time I use any of the shapes that are available.

This one has several layers all created with foam tape and then tiny gemstones dotted around the edge.

It could be for any occasion and used at any time of year, and will surely help you to get your MoJo back on track.

The video will show you how I created this one and it is easy to do. Just be sure to look very carefully at your dies and where the cutting edges are placed.
