Just chatting
Hi everyone
I must apologise I do not have any stamping news to give you. It has taken rather a back seat at the moment which I hope you will understand. Although having said that I can show you some digital work I have done - which makes me feel a bit guilty - but I can do that when I am sat quietly in my arm chair in the evening. There are some birthdays coming up in the family & amongst friends - so I am going to have to set to & do some stamping in the next couple of days.
Today I worked on my sugar roses again. I added another layer to 6 of the rosebuds that were left as buds as I have finally worked out exactly how many I want to have. Then I also made another 4 bud cones to make 4 rosebuds which I have decided I might want.
I also tried the dusting powder on the sugar paste to see the difference between dusting the roses & painting the roses - you mix the powder with spirit - eg - Vodka. The Vodka allows you to paint but dissolves in the air leaving just the coloured surface behind. So I will take a look at that in the morning to see what I think.
Have I mentioned my shoes? I have 2 choices - a pair I have had for a while & a new pair that Nadine spotted in the shops. So tomorrow afternoon, after I have had lunch with a friend, I am going round to Nadine to see if I am going to dye the shoes I have or not as they are not quite the right colour. Decisions, decisions all the time. Still there can't be that many left as there is now a little over 7 weeks to go.
Here is the digital page I made earlier this evening - if you click on the link on the right side of the home page (well every page actually) you can read all the information as to how I created it. It is based around my beautiful bouquet from Gareth for Mother's Day..
