My cold is gradually improving but both Alex and I are exhausted so we are ready for a weekend at home. Alex had an exciting day today as it was a 'dress up' day at nursery. He wanted to go in the Batman outfit I had made him a few months ago so that was easy to accomodate. He was so excited that he was charging round the house holding his cape out and generally having fun...he was still wearing the cape and mask this afternoon when I collected him.
Crafting wise I have been playing with inks and stamps again to create this ATC. I used a clear emboss resist technique and distress inks on the background and then ironed the ATC to remove the clear embossing so I could stamp over the top. I made the gold cog by triple embossing in gold embossing powder and then stamping the cog image into it while it was still hot. I am entering this into
craftycardmakers spotlight 'ATC',
Simon Says Stamp and Show 'embossing',
Kaboodle Doodles 'embossing', and
TioT 'Steampunk' challenges.
I have also made a scrapbook layout following this weeks
Sketchy Thursday sketch. As I tore the edges of the paper strips and the background also looks distressed I am entering this into
Lasting Memories 'distressing' challenge. This also fits with
CCC 'stars',
Papertake weekly 'cute' and
Paper Cutz 'Anything goes' challenges. The journalling read 'Alex has only recently discovered the joys of dressing up and likes pretending to be a doctor, a sailor, a knight and his current favourite, Batman. He has even invented his own character 'Mr Pull Up Head'!'. That is all from me for now. Have a great weekend everyone.
Love,
Caro
