My garden is looking lush and green and my pots are already establishing themselves really well and showing off their first flowers. Here are some of the bedding plants I showed you last week..potted up.
We could even enjoy our G+T in the garden.
Tosday is also my Monday design team inspiration over at the Visible Image Facebook group and today and I sharing an inky card I made using all the stamps from the brilliant Universal background set available here
together with the Take Chances sentiment available here
First I white embossed the star and swirl shapes from the set as a resist. I also stamped the sentiment in black. I then started adding distress inks...
I kept dabbing into the inks until I was happy with the base background
I then blended in some extra ink.
Then I added more stamping using the remaining shapes from the Universal set.
and below is my finished card.
These are all the links for Visible Image
The main Visible Image Facebook page is here; there are weekly stamp giveaways...open world wide!
And the shop web site is here; where all these gorgeous stamps can be found.
There is also some very exciting news.....there is a pre-launch sharing of the new stamps release on Facebook live at 8pm tonight over on the VI page...don't miss out...this new release is just awesome!

Your garden is looking lovely, the mix of sunshine and rain has worked wonderfully in bringing everything on. I even sat out on the decking steps for a couple of hours yesterday with Ken feeding me my pots so I could get them filled with bedding plants my neighbour had got for me.

ReplyDeleteYou really are in your element creating these inky designs, Jane and that sentiment, as mentioned, is so true! A fab card again, with such depth created from all of your techniques.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good Bank Holiday with family - we managed to get out on Sunday and went to Erddig Hall near Wrexham, we had dinner out and managed to walk over 16,000 steps, so worked it off too! 2 geocaches located and a play with some metal spoons when we got home too...intriguing, I know! Hugs, Lisa x
Love your quote - so true. Great project, thanks for joining us at A Vintage Journey.
