WOYWW #261

 Good Morning everyone, how's your week going?  Wednesday again, and time for coffee and a chat over at Julias Stamping Ground. So whats on yours this week? Mines been getting a little inky, as I had a chat with Debbie, (Tattered Rocks), the other day about the Northern Lights, and wondered how it would work with Pearlescent Brilliance pads. I'll show you what I ended up with, but I'll do a post about them later in the week.
 They don't look like much, but I learnt with these that they actually come to life when you stamp on them, so we'll see where that goes.


 A few people last week asked what I did at the crop ( apart from drinking coffee, eating cake and talking that is), and it was the Northern Lights again, lol. I've got totally hooked on this, love how no two look alike, even when you use the same colours.
Actually, now I look at them, the top middle one was brayered. The others still need finishing, sponging inks into the water areas and so on. I'd stamped in Versafine, and didn't want to smear anything by doing that at the crop, so gave them time to dry first. Need to darken the sky on a couple too.
 Big apologies to Debbie, for my enabling regarding Stampscapes stamps, lol.
 So keeping it short after last weeks photo-heavy post, just a couple more for you.




The Visible Image stamp set I won arrived towards the end of the week, as well as my next batch of Adirondack re-inkers, and two of the new Alcohol ink colours, Botanical and Honeycomb.


 Final pic is nothing at all to do with crafting- took my Mom to a Garden Centre last weekend, to get her a hanging basket, and on walking in I spotted these:




True Black Petunias, and a gorgeous dark burgundy with a yellow stripe. As LLJ said when I posted the pic on Facebook,Goth Petunias,rofl.
 The black is an upright type, called Black Ray, and the striped is called Queen Bee, and trails.
 So thats mine, show us yours, please?
 Have a lovely week everyone, catch you later.
