Gingersnap Creations 47

Here's my entry for GC47, we had to use the colours copper, ginger or rust.  I love these colours and decided to make a wall hanging for a friend of mine who is 40 this weekend.  Made with TSS metal, the 40 was stamped from a PaperArtsy stamp, puffed out and then I poured UTEE over it.  I painted black acrylic paint over the background, added a grunge paper rose, which I edged with Viva copper paint, hope you can see that, it's quite effective in RL.  

Last night we made a Pardo necklace at Craft Den Studio, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, a good night was had by all, lots of chat, laughter and eating of cake.  This is mine, I used turquoise and pink.  



It is my wedding anniversary today, 43 years!!!!!!!, and I have bought a new top to go out in and decided to use the colours for the necklace to match the top.  Mind you, I did buy it 2 weeks ago and since then some more side effects have kicked in, I put on 6 lbs last week and my face is now enormous, really blown up.  And guess what.....I slept for 7 hours last night.....yeah, I feel fantastic this morning, so as a little treat to myself, I'm off to Meadowhall for some retail therapy.

Have a good day, I'm going to.

    Ooh Ann the gift is beautiful I love the choice in colours. 6lbs in a week isn't fun but 7 hours sleep can definitely make you feel extra human so enjoy your retail therapy

    Hugs

    Love the hanging - I love copper! Sandra's right - forget the weight - you can sort that later. Getting better is what matters most. Enjoy your shopping!
