A lovely day with a friend

Had a lovely day yesterday with my friend Sandy Poppins.  Sandra and Andy have just moved into their new vicarage and I went to see her yesterday.  This is the new home card I made for them


Background coloured with the new summer DI pads, the houses I drew onto an old house lease dated 1817, then sprayed with the new DI re-inkers, bit of doodling etc.


This is the gift I took, an Ikea mirror, altered with Ver-day, if you look closely you can see some leaves, I took a Dylusions stencil and put texture paste through it, when I'd given it the Ver-day treatment, I used metal rub-ons to highlight the leaves.  Added 3 of the buttons I'd altered and edged the mirror in Stewart Gill Byzantia turquoise ink.

It's really muggy here, very dark, just wish the thunderstorm would come soon because the dog is driving me mad, he hates thunder and can sense it's on it's way and he's wandering up and down.
