Deck of Me- My Initial and Birds

As usual I'm running well behind the weekly schedule in spite of all good intentions.

Here's my initial

and my birds interpretation.

The birds stamps are from CraftyIndividuals. The Wings to Fly I cannot remember

=================

Zoals gewoonlijk loop ik weer achter op het weekschema ondanks alle goede bedoelingen . Hier is mijn interpretatie van InitiAl en Vogels

De vogel stempels zijn van Crafty Individuals ( een set van 4)

Deck of ME - I AM

as I was running behind 2 cards for this week. It's so difficult to define what I am on one small card. What it did teach me though was....DO NOT use your heat gun to dry the ink after you have put the labels on as this will melt the text of your labels, don't even try heating it from the back as that will also melt the text away so you have to start yet again. You learn don't you??

In Holland we say 3 times is shipsright what is the English expression?? 3 times lucky ??

Moeilijk om te beschrijven wat je bent op 1 klein kaartje. Wat ik wel geleerd heb is...gebruik je heatgun niet nadat je de labels hebt opgeplakt want dit verwijdert de tekst er van, ook als je de achterkant verhit. 3 maal is scheepsrecht.

De linkse achtergrond is gedaan met alcohol inkt en Distress inkt de letters zijn van Sizzix Nouveau. De rechtse achtergrond is Gesso met Distressinkt en Glimmermist

I've been busy

A powercut does wonders for crafting as long as it's light. Somehow my stamps seem to be multiplying so I made another album for them with clear envelopes to put them in,it's full already.

Another order from Art Journey arrived yesterday . It's my favourite shop at the moment .Here I have used Glimmer Mist and a brass Celtic stencil.I love the way it has turned out. When you flip the still wet stencil over you can make another printed image with it which will be the opposite from this one.

Another one done the same way

My new stamps had to be tested

and I have started on the Emily Falconbridge challenge Deck of Me but I am doing them in my own order, whatever takes my fancy that week.

I've done NATURE and

REMEMBER the Flower Power period and the song If you're going to San Francisco brings back many happy memories .
