The weekend is nearly here

 Good morning, another warm day so it’s a cool morning in the air conditioning getting a few chores done.  A nice slow start to the day as this is what holidays are for.

We had a great evening out at the very first Larnaca Jazz Festival.  We discovered a part of town that has been renovated and looks amazing.  No buildings pulled down. 

 There is the second part to the festival tonight but not on sure what the plans are yet.

Another baby card to share with you.  Lots of techniques used for this card.  

• To start off with I used Memento ink to stamp out the elephant image.  
• Using various grey Stampin’ Up! blending pens I coloured him in (yes, this is a he).  
• I fussy cut (went round with the scissors to cut him out) 
• To make sure there were no white bits, I used a black Stampin Write pen to go around the edge of the cut out elephant.  I do feel that this helps so much with elements that have been fussy cut
• Next it was the sentiment which I printed out on a computer in to basic white card.
• The inked clouds were created using a stencil and a small blender brush dabbed into some blue ink.  You always have to remember to gently rub off the excess of ink first, before putting it on your project. 
• The two white clouds are from my stash and are very old.  
• I cut down a piece of A4 thick basic white to 11” x 5 1/2”.  I then scored down the 11” side at 5 1/2” to create a square card base.  
• I cut down a piece of A4 blue card to 5 1/4” squared and stuck this on to the front of the card base.
• The basic white card piece was then cut down to 5” square and stuck onto the card base.  
• Using Dimensionals /3D foam pads, I added the elephant and the white clouds. 

Something I am hoping to restart in October.  I have always loved scrapbooking, matching the papers and the photos but I haven’t been able to do any due to a bereavement.  However I want to scrapbook this holiday and Stampin’ Up! have the perfect kit to rekindle my passion.  

The kit is called, Love This Memory Notebook.  It should have everything in it for me to capture the highlights of this trip.

Thanks for having a read today, hope you have a great start to the weekend x
