OK - IT CAN HAVE A HEART NOW!!

Hi Everyone

First of all a very big "THANK YOU" to all you lovely blog buddies out there who took time to encourage me yesterday and left me such lovely comments regarding my lack of an instantly perfect brayering technique.

Lots of truth in what people wrote actually. I am quite hard on myself and expect to be able to do things pretty much immediately

Eventually I started to feel sorry for the poor piece of card as everyone seemed to like it other than me. So I decided not to give up on it and worked with it a little more to create something that I decided was now worthy of sporting a heart.

I do not know what stamps I used at the workshop but this morning to rescue my work I used:

Little bird image: My Mind's Eye "Bloom & Grow"
Nestabilities: Deckled Rectangles Large
Brads and cord from the stash box

So I now actually like this. Thank you everyone for encouraging me not to give up on it. I'm now beginning to feel like I might need to invest in a decent brayer and at least one Big and Juicy ink pad now!!!

The finished look is definitely an improvement on yesterday.

Thank you for calling by everyone and for being such great blog buddies.

Love Jules xx

    Well I've tuned in today and wondered what I missed yesterday so I've had to scroll down to catch up. I'll tell you something Jules, your first attempt was a darn sight better than mine and this finished card is beautiful. I love the colours you've chosen and it certainly does deserve a heart. Well done for perservering.
    Hugs Lisax

    There you see Jules, I told you there would be a fab card at the end of it.

    Perseverance and I expect to see that brayer in full swing in future.
