I've decided to start writing things again - it's less than a year since I last blogged, which is pretty good for me! I'm not what you would call consistent.
This is what I made Friday night, I was having a pretty productive session for once. I could have sworn that paper was blue in the packet, but it's most definitely lilac now. Happily near enough the same lilac as my Bluebell Promarker, which always helps coordination-wise.I coloured the other flowers and the ribbon with Tea Green. The Promarker had an interesting effect on the ribbon - once it dried it was quite stiff and crispy, which made it very easy to stick down. I was happy with that, normally I find ribbon a nightmare to secure.
This one I think will go to my mother in law. Her birthday is Sept. 11, easy to remember at least.
It's been an interesting weekend so far - picnic, sculptures, treasure hunt, bowling, Nepalese cuisine and today I went to the Paper Mill Shop, which I love. Made a pretty critical error there though, I bought tons of white card for stamping/colouring, but I've just had a go with it now and discovered that it's coated! The ink just hangs about on the surface in blobs. I'm so cross with myself for not noticing... I blame my brother, who was whining like a threeyearold about being bored the whole time I was filling my paper box. Totally his fault.
