Wet Wednesday

Happy Wednesday Folks, I do hope you have better weather wherever you are than the horrid rain that's falling on my bit of Cornwall this morning.  Mind you, the rain was forecast but I always live in hope that I'll awaken to a bright sunny and warm morning.  Today it's dark, damp and quite chilly... brrrrrr !  Certainly a day to stay indoors and head to my table of craftiness I think, although I had planned to get a little work done in the garden - guess that'll have to wait until another day.

Today's project is a card I created for this week's Less is More Challenge, a one layer card to include numbers.  I was a little stuck for ideas on this one, but whilst looking through a box of ready stamped images I have in my stash, I came across this clock face* - Perfick !

*Apologies but I don't know the manufacturer of the stamp, if anyone can enlighten me, please do so as I like to acknowledge the manufacturer of any images I use in my work.

 

It is actually only one layer as I cut an aperture in the front on the base card using a Nellies Choice die and placed the clock image behind to show through the hole.  I used Distress Inks to colour the clock image before assembling and to add a little colour to the card front.  The sentiment is from a set of stamps by PaperArtsy and I stamped it using SU! Midnight Muse ink. 

 



I've also been doing a little embroidery work for a very special project.  Here's what I've done so far

I drew the angel and wrote the words freehand using a pen designed for fabrics and disappears when heated with an iron (very useful).  My writing isn't perfect but it's fine for this purpose.  I embroidered over the drawn/written images with two strands of embroidery silks, using backstitch. 

That's it for today from me, I have completed another quilt and I'll share pix of it another day. 

Thanks so much for visiting today, hope you've enjoyed today's projects.
