My Merry Card Corner: June 2024

Hello again,

I hope you are all feeling warm, we have just spent over a week in Winter without a heater after the gas heater malfunctioned, first repair company said the wait was 3 weeks before they could come out... company number two came one week and one day later... the ignition part of the heater broke...

I am joining in with the lovely ladies over at Group of Seven with this month's technique being Bokeh, I have used Candied Apple, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard seed distress oxide inks to create the background and I created my own circle template using the backing from Ezy-Mount foam and three different sized circle punches, largest is a Fiskars squeeze punch 1", adding layers of dots with some white pigment ink.

Here is my card: -

Hello again,

Winter so far has seen warm sunny days and cool nights, followed by heavy rains which has again seen the main dam for Sydney spilling over, bringing flood watch back to the plains, this time we only had 50mm out of the 200mm+ they had expected, so fewer people have been affected and the Government has stopped a land release in an area which is prone to flooding. We are very glad that the current weather is mild, mind you we are still experiencing our regular cold weather, as the central heating decided last week to stop working, the first company said it would be three weeks before someone could make it out, the second company are sending someone out next week, as the reset instructions are not working... we have a secondary heater which will see us burn through much of what is left of our old eucalypt which was cut down as it was rotting....

Today brings us to another All new Anything goes challenge with my teammates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we are sponsored this fortnight by The Paper Shelter, who allowed me to select one set from the store which we all used called Tea Time, I have used three of the set to create my card. Naturally as I layered on the embossed panel the card shifted and it has ended up slightly skewed, and likely only I will notice the tiny gaps where two pieces of my scraps are not quite lined up...
