SNOW SWIRL

Hi Everyone

Well what a dull day today .. .. it never really brightened up properly at all .. .. and wet washing everywhere  was the order of the day :-(    Good job there were no visitors landing today!!

Never mind, at least the fabric conditioner has made everywhere smell nice LOL!!!

Today's share was supposed to be quick because it involved no colouring .. .. but I must admit it could have been quicker.




This used:

Image:  Stampendous! "CRM112" Snow Swirl
Sentiment:  Sorry I don't know.  It is a set that doesn't have any packet or numbers with it
Backing Paper:  Wild Rose Studio "Polka Dots
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  "Snowflakes"
Nestabilities:  Classic Oval Large and Scalloped Oval Large
Clear Embossing Powder
Distress Ink Pad:  Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Gems from the Stash Box

So what made it not so quick as I thought .. .. well I can only blame it on the distress inks.  I started with the palest blue, then the mid-shade and eventually ended up going just about over it all with the darkest!!  Might as well have started with the darkest in first place LOL!!!

The paler ones were rather hard work so I can only assume that they are in need of re-inking :-(

So that is me for today.

I'll catch you again tomorrow.

Love
