Now Vintage/Shabby Chic isn't in my comfort zone and as I have said before, I am very jealous of those who achieve it so effortlessly. Not sure why I opted for brown tones, except that it is easier for me to get that vintage look with these hues.

I CANNOT resist a pink and green colour combination. It is my all time favourite and again a sketch from the recent past
On the whole, I really like the new SU colours (not sure about Summer Starburst but I guess it will have its uses). The new pinks I particularly like, but the jury is still out in the Jones craftroom on the stamp pad itself. Either it takes a bit to get ink on the stamp or it's far too moist. Still, I am probably in the very small minority on this matter.

Now this sketch stumped me for a while, how to cut those rectangles. I used MFT Fishtail Flags off the end of my Bigshot and it worked a treat. Not much more to say really ....

OK for my final card for this Sunday before I put the finishing touches to our lamb roast for dinner (my favourite). I really wanted to have a crack at this colour scheme, very intriguing. Couldn't find my So Saffron inkpad but remembered this VERY old DSP. Again this sketch was from a few weeks ago but I just love the simplicity of it. Night of Navy has always been my favourite "navy" but this new one has a bit more black in it and I love it.

That's it for today. My daughter is still unwell, listless and a very sore throat, not sure if she will make it to school, though she tells me she has to be there for Maths - maybe we are getting through on that front.
