back on track



Goodness its the 18th July today!
The time is flying by.
  I have had to rest as I had a couple of nasty falls, so no posting for a week or two, to make up for it I have some pictures for you..  Oh! I am on the mend.

Well, it is now 21 July and I have had to have help understanding how to get my photos from my phone using the  connecting lead  from  phone to computer.  Thanks to Darren who has taught me this and it is cheaper than sending myself e mails.

Here is my selection


This is the sunrise at 11 minutes past five on the 18th!  Lovely colours.



Jenny at Framin Crafty framed this for me.  The background is brushos on watercolour paper, the stamp is by Clarity and I  coloured in with Wink of Stella Gold and Turquoise.


This is my attempt at Art Class with sky, sea and rocks.  All watercolours and the shaping of the rocks was done by using a cut-up credit card, where the paint in scraped  to move the colour giving shading and direction.


These are my daisies in pastel colours  Art class again. Using watercolours and learning about glazes.
Well this has been quite a week  I hope you like my attempts and will call again.

sheep



I have been asked to make a special birthday card using sheep. 
I ordered a sheep die  from Joanna Sheen made by Signature.
It has not been made yet (the birthday card), however, I made a start on the following to see how the sheep worked out. Their faces lift out and I coloured their eyes.
What do you think?


Pretty simple...... and

one for a girl and one for a boy!

 The stamp of the Olive branch is from Inkylicious
some bling from my stash and the card I used is from Stamping Up. 

The size of the white card is 6x6.

and now for something entirely different


This is a stamp from Imagination Crafts,
 I stamped straight onto the card itself using black Momento ink which came out all speckled.  Not a solid black will have to try another make of ink pad next time.
I coloured the flower in Ranger Distress pens and place black diamonte beads in the middle.
This looks  darker with a richer red....it must be  my photography.  Well I am sure you have the idea.
Oh! and I  inked round the edge with a black pen.

That is all for now.
