I am still playing with one layer stamping and prisma colours, but this time I added the quote as an extra layer. I think I am dreaming of an Indian Summer, although we have have had some gorgeous warm afternoons this week. Long may it continue, but have you noticed the evenings really drawing in?
I began with a tag and the wrinkle free distress technique.
and then started stamping images from CI-384 and CI-272. The lighthouse stamp is a collaged image so I wiped away some of the archival ink before stamping it. This gave me just the lighthouse and some of the gulls.
I then used Prisma pencils to colour in….
…. finishing off with a charm and ribbon.
Thanks for stopping by today, I really appreciate your visit.
Tomorrow I am going up to London with Ken, we want to see the flow of poppies at The Tower, they look amazing on all the photos, but like everything seeing them irl will be so much better.
Catch you later.

Wonderful new works which you have designed here, dear Brenda! You've been very busy during my absence and one work is more beautiful than the next. I am excited!
ReplyDeletehi Brenda,

It's getting cold here and the sun is setting much earlier. Fall is definitely in the air. I have no idea where summer went!
