Let's Play Painting...

Amazing....I saw sunshine this morning!  It didn't last long though.  Soon it was raining again, and now it's grey and dreary.  Oh well, there's lots to be done inside too.  I intend to give a go at some sanding, if I can figure out how to work the sander.  A bit of floor needs some new finish....wish me luck!

 

First though, I'll post this card.  Today, I've used this cute Little Artist stamp by Sugar Nellie.  I painted with water-colours this time, something I try to do these days when I'm using inky stamps rather than digi's....I still have a problem with printer inks smudging.

I really like this Spellbinders die....adds some extra interest without being too feminine.  No ribbons, but a bit of washi tape and a bit of stamping in the corners to dress it up.  Add a sentiment and a bit of doodling, and I'm done.

Hope you enjoyed your visit, but now I had best get to work!
