Sending Love and apologies


Hello all, hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend wherever you are in the world, I would firstly like to send my apologies for not posting as regularly as I usually do, this is due to lots of things including my ill health over the past few weeks, but I am hoping, I'll get back to my regularly posting as soon as possible. I would like to thank my loyal followers for sticking by me and giving me lots of support. So hopefully I will be posting more over the next week or so. 

Well I love the coloured pencils look so much at the moment, so decided to give it ago for myself and had the perfect Clearly Besotted stamps to use. 


Cut a piece of A4 white card down to 27cm x 9.7cm folded at the top with bone folder, take a piece of Neenah desert storm kraft card and cut down slightly to fit the card blank. Stamped the stem first, then the rose head and finally the jar using acrylic block, memento tuxedo black ink. I drew the stem longer with Whisper black pen, so it reached to the bottom of the jar, as the stem was a little short.


Coloured in the image using WHsmith soft colouring pencils. I wanted this to look as realistic as possible and made sure I added the right shading. Once colouring is completed, stamped Sending Love to middle right side of the jar, using the same memento tuxedo black ink.   


Using Wink of Stella fine clear glitter pen, added some glitter detail to rose head. Cut a piece of funky EVA foam down to fit the matt layer and adhered with double sided tape, then adhere the whole piece to the card blank. Adhered three sequins using tweezers and glue dots to finish.
