Marvellous Monday with Visible Image
Sorry if this is rather short and sweet but I am really busy today with social activities!

I am sooooo loving their new Christmas stamps, and with this one I have actually used glitter!
I know, I know!
Not my usual thing this glitter, but I just had to add some!
A classic Brusho background with purple and white stamping.
A tag made from the left over pieces of coloured card.

ATC365 #241 THE CHANGES FLOW!
And here is the last line of the poem.
Autumn leaves
that
turn to gold
Flowers that are
bright and bold
Tremble in the
cooling wind
Messages that
autumn sends
Darker soon
in the night
Birds now decide
to take the flight
Ah yes,
I love autumn so
As I watch
the changes flow!

ATC365 #240 AS I WATCH
Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear!
My blog didn't publish last night.
Came here to write the one for today and saw this still 'scheduled'.
Seems I set it up for NEXT month by mistake.

Marvellous Monday with Visible Image
Hello!
Monday is here and so is my latest inspirational piece using only VISIBLE IMAGE stamps.
Christmas stamps again, for those that love to plan ahead.
Today I have decided to do something a little 'shocking' in that I have used some funky colours with jet black shiny embossing powder. Not the usual Christmas colours I know but that is where my crafting session took me!
I went with the usual thing, make a lot of background papers using Brusho paints and stamped directly onto them with black embossing powder.
Matting and layering with red card and adding a few brads finish the projects off.

MARVELLOUS MONDAY with VISIBLE IMAGE
Not long until Christmas! 'tee-hee-hee'
My cards today show you the lovely new Christmas stamps from Visible Image.
I deliberately went colour crazy with these!
I just love the hot red which contrasts with the icy cold sentiment and the white embossing powder I used.
I started as I nearly always do by colouring some card with Brusho paint powders made into a liquid paint. A little pinch of powder in a spot of water goes a long way! I painted red, orange and yellow using a broad flat brush.
When this was dry I used the snowflake stamp with a dilute bleach solution first. Once dry I over stamped with a hot pink ink just off centre to make the image look 3D.
I then added more snowflakes in red all over the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a dark red piece of the painted card with white embossing powder before matting and layering with white card.
The turquoise and purple card uses white embossing powder instead of bleach. I then used 2 shades of turquoise for the other snowflakes. I distressed the edges of the pieces of card by running my scissors down them and used a pin-wheel to give a faux stitched effect. I also used 2 sizes of white brads in the corners.If you visit me here often you will know that I am a frequent user of string! I love adding little knots to break up the long lines of string.

ATC365 # 222 SIMPLE PLEASURES
Having spent a great deal of my weekend on the beach I know how much fun it is to make sand castles!
Of course the company was great, the weather was awesome and the picnic and BBQ were fabulous.
But the simple act of sitting on the beach playing with the sand, running it through my fingers, smoothing it down, roughing it up, drawing in it and, 'yes', making sandcastles is a true pleasure.
I am blessed with the beach on my doorstep.
