Today however is going to be a lovely 25degrees (c) outside and we will be heading off to the Melbourne show on Sunday to take my cousin from England to have a look.
Now the tickets are paid for (early bird special) and I'm over that shock, I'm really looking forward to it! The boys have never been before either. I know, I failed them as a mum to never take them to the show when they have lived here their whole life. At least now I won't have to deal with tired tantrums and them wanting to get on every single ride there is!
It is great when they are young, to take them, but there is also something about taking them when they are older and can appreciate it at a different level. Young, mine anyway, would of just wanted rides and stuff and now... I said, "Ok, you can have a ride pass or that money in show bags!" They chose the show bags.
I will show you some photos next week.
Anyway, today's card is using an old The Greeting Farm set called Xmas Sweeties. It is old so may be harder to find.
The background was sponged with Stormy Sky and Black Soot. After splashing abit of water over the background I decided it wasn't good enough. So in a mister bottle I added Rubbing Alcohol and some ink from Stampin Up called "All purpose Shimmer Inks" They are actually from Tsukineko. There is Vegas Gold, Bright Copper, Frost White and Champagne Mist. I have used Frost White.
Google All Purpose shimmer inks and there is alot of things you can do with them.
You can see looking at the background it has a very speckled appearance. In life it is very sparkly and pretty but of course it isn't easy to photograph that! I did go abit heavy handed, I was expecting some splatter but .... that didn't happen.
The stars are from Stampin Up called "Carols of Christmas"
Sentiment is Woodware called ":Delightful Dangles"
