Another Arianna Blooms Sneak Peek

 
A very good evening everyone!
It is a rather late post today, but I have had lot's to do today......the hairdresser came which was rather chaotic & quite funny.... just as well I have known her for a few years because whilst she was covering the dreaded grey I was busy colouring my images in for Thursdays shows:) She said it was a first lol, but needs must and I new there was a reason for me having a mobile hairdresser:) I also had my friend Vicky and my daughter Sophie die cutting for me and my craft room looked an absolute bomb site....but I have almost finished....just 2 more cards to prep! I have to say that now I have at least 10 shows under my belt I haven't  had any nerves this time (well probably because I haven't had time to think) and I am really looking forward to the shows....which by the way is now 5!!!!! Yes they emailed me yesterday and said they have squeezed another show in:)
So these are the times:
8am with Nigel
11am again with Nigel
2pm with Leonie
4pm Stephanie ....I am looking forward to this one because although I have met Stephanie I haven't had the pleasure of doing a show with her:)....I think I might just be a little nervous for this one:(
And lastly 7pm with leonie.....oh I am so pleased about this as by this point I might need Leonie to keep me awake:)
 
Ok so here is another sneak peek:
 Arianna Blooms Collection - Thank You So Much

 
  • I have used the Arianna Blooms stamp and matching die.
  • The beautiful lace die is the Arianne Lace die.
  • The image is Arianna Bird Haven stamp which I have coloured in using Distress ink - Tea dye & Scattered Straw & some Versa Magic chalk ink - Aloe Vera, Hint of Pesto, Wheat and  Thatched Straw. I love using these to colour in my images as it gives them a really soft look. I have used a blending pen to colour in with some blending medium.
I will be demonstrating this card on the 4pm show.

Sorry this isn't a full tutorial, but if anyone would like any info on how I assembled it then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Also I would like to say that I have ordered the blog candy items and they should be with me soon and I will get them all out to everyone as soon as I can....so sorry for the delay in posting them out.

Right now to bed  for me now although I am sure that I will be making Arianna cards in my sleep:)

Take care everyone and thank you so much for all of your thoughtful and kind comments you leave me ....you all brighten my day so much:) X

I will be back tomorrow evening and I am thinking another blog candy is on the Cards!!!! hehe...not sure where that came from:)

Bye for now x
