Treescape – Bleached Out Images

Hello everyone! (wow! that’s a really weird perspective on that photo … how did I do that???) 😀

Isn’t it a gloomy day … a perfect day for stamping … but here it is 3.30pm and I still haven’t had a chance! I did the soccer run this morning … Sandy’s team won! Yay! I dunno where the time has gone today? We had another parent meeting after Sandy’s match … I am soooo over the politics of junior soccer. I just wish the vocal minority would play nicer! (Parents, that is!!!) Then … a debrief with Gav … and I was beginning to feel in a gloomy mood. Perhaps it is the weather … or perhaps it is just that I can’t understand why people are so judgemental of others. There are always two sides to every story … can’t we just try and understand one another instead of fighting for our “rights”???? As Charlie Brown would say … “Good Grief”! So … I need to snap out of my gloomy mood … and what better way than to pop by here … read a few lovely comments … and share a new project with my REAL friends!!! (Actually … to be fair … the parents on Sandy’s team are really really lovely and I enjoy spending time with them (we have a great mums cheer squad) on Saturday mornings. 😀 The kids have a great rapport … and are very supportive and encouraging  of each other … but it just takes one little pickle to spoil the whole pot!!! … doesn’t it???) 🙄

This is another sample of the “Bleached – Out Images” technique that we did at our recent Twilight Stamp Club. We didn’t actually all have time to create this one … but isn’t this stamp set perfect for this technique!? You just “splotch” a bit of bleach over the embossed tree image. No need to be really careful with this one!

Well … I am running out of projects to share with you all … so I am determined to get some stamping done this arvo. I think my mojo might have disappeared, though! 😦 I might have to get some inspiration from my blog friends and do some CASE-ing! 🙂 The weather reports say that we are in for some wild & woolley weather over the next 24 hours! I love the rain … but not so fussed about the wind. Oh well … I just remind myself … I have a lovely warm safe home … and there are others who don’t!!! Aren’t I in a philosophical mood today!!! 🙄 I will go now … before I make you all depressed!!! 😀 😉

Christine (my sis) just picked up an error on the card recipe! Sorry … but it takes such an effort to change the recipe … resave it … then re-upload it … so I will just tell you here … Don’t sprinkle “clear” embossing powder – USE the black (as listed in supplies) embossing powder instead! 😀 😛 😀
