Shaker card Mermaid

Hi there, long time no see!

My time management has gone to plot lately,
just not been coping, with everything just piling up.
Does this ever happen to you?
It can only get better........a friend's favourite phrase is
"this too shall pass".

So yesterday, having had a leak, family of mice, and a local jumble sale,
I spent the day clearing out the loft!
We have a huge loft, all too easy to "just put it up there for now"
But no more! ( that's the plan anyway :)
I feel better already.

So, less waffling and here's the card....
Large A5, cut circle aperture, with a fun background.....
We did a class blowing bubbles!
drop of water + drop of washing up liquid + drop of dark ink in a cup, blow with straw
(please don't suck!!!)
let bubbles almost overflow, gently lay card on bubbles,
repeat, allow to dry.
So much fun!


Also did the "partially-cut-image-stick -die-under-it-so-it-doesn't-cut thing ?!
see above......not totally successful.
Had to cut into her a bit more than wanted to, and die left a bit of a ridge,
but heck, who's looking?!

Stuck a star on background just above her hand before assembling,
trying not to leave glue exposed
(class had her holding a clump of stars because "someone who should have been
teaching" didn't warn them about this bit )

Filled the shaker with more stars.
Added a few more onto card front.

This needed a large stamp for postage, and I was very cross it was received like this....!
Someone was disappointed with the contents! 
I didn't like to ask if the card was intact......but hope it was and hope she liked it.
Can you see my attempt to black out the address?
I probably won't be much good at drawing with a computer!

Have a good weekend
Lesley

  1. So beautiful, Lesley! I love the background. I used to do bubble painting using food colouring with children at school until someone sucked instead...She had green teeth!

  2. Wow ... What a totally AWESOME card. Magical. Great background and die cutting. Loft clear outs are always therapeutic. Hope the mice eviction went ok, they are a nuisance.

    Hope you feel more like yourself soon mate xxx
