BRING OUT THE HERO ARTS

Hi Everyone

A quick share of a creation that is a bit "different" for me!

Different colours and no outlined image to colour or paper piece .. .. .. .. and the Penny Black drawer stayed closed!!! Must be this heat going to my head!! LOL!!

So here is the creation

This used:

Images and sentiment all Hero Arts as listed below
"F3255" Showy Blossom
"F3256" Three Gems
"G4917" Dandelion
"CL158" Clear Design Cupcakes (sentiment)
Backing Paper: My Minds Eye
Nestabilities: Scalloped Circles Large and Circle
Cosmic Shimmer Mica Pigment
Ribbon, buttons and flowers from the stash box

I took another photograph "at close quarters" as the original photograph doesn't show very well the Cosmic Shimmer I have added to the main image.
Quite liking the look of the image.

I have an exciting weekend coming up. I am attending a workshop at Sir Stampalot being run by Brenda and Chris. There will be other blog folk there too .. .. I haven't met any of my fellow classmates before (other than Brenda and Chris) but know some from their blogs. I can't wait to meet up. Funny how you feel you know some people and yet you have never met them.

I have a feeling I am going to be taken well out of my comfort zone and will be doing lots of "messy" techniques .. .. .. so much I need to learn and what better people to learn it from. Just hoping I don't embarrass myself too much.

So tomorrow I may not be showing you a card but a culinary creation!! Eeekk!!! We are all taking something for us to eat during the course of our special day but because hubby and I are travelling the day before and having a little mini-break nearby I need to take something that doesn't require a fridge.

Mmm... what might I make and take??? Any ideas????

Catch you tomorrow with a photograph of my offering(s) (hopefully)!! But if my cooking turns into a disaster then I will just be picking stuff up from the supermarket on the way LOL!!!!

Take care everyone.

Love Jules xx

    Oh you lucky thing Jules.
    But firstly on to your creation, I would never have guessed that this was different for you as it's so gorgeous, love the image and the beautiful summery colours.
    I wish I could be there with all tomorrow, but alas it's just too far away. Please say hi to Brenda and Chris for me, Oooo learning from the best,and I totally hope you get really messy, and share everything you create with us.
    Have a great time
    Happy crafting

    Oh Jules, I just LOVE this card. Yes, it is different to your usual style, but so lovely. You must really be pleased with yourself. Love that cosmo shimmer, yikes! Is it ink or glitter? Looks fabulous. I wish I were going with you to the Sir Stampalot workshop. My ex-sister in law lives in Peterborough and has purchased quite a few of the Magnolia stamps for me from them, so I really envy you going. You will just have to post piccies of your creations and a full account of the day in detail please. hmmm, something to eat, what about a few nice hotdogs, they're enjoyable hot or cold... have fun! hugs Sharon

    You've been busy with some beautiful cards while I've been away Jules. I just love the image on this one and the little bit of shimmer sets it off perfectly.
