Welcome back deskers, another Wednesday has rolled (raced) around. Sarah would love you to join in with WOYWW
I have even less to show than last week I think...
I dug out some card blanks (just white so far) ready for when I cut my masterboards into Christmas card toppers...
underneath is my square journal
which I did have another play with the Alison Bomber stamps
I painted the page first with the Paperartsy Mattints,
and added lots of layers of the grasses.
then I knocked it back with a thin layer of gesso.
I intend to add more top layers of stamping but haven't got round to it yet
(Tuesday night when I prepare my post is Bake Off night, currently also followed by Masterchef, gotta love cooking on tv!)
it was a very grey morning but there were the odd glimpse of brightness.
I'll finish with Kew from the weekend and some gorgeous colours.
thanks for looking, put the kettle on I'll be there soon... happy WOYWW
Beautiful autumnal photos.
ReplyDeleteLove Bake off, such a shame as to whow went out this week- she has been star baker twice!
Good luck with the cards.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
Love the Kew pics, it’s so beautiful in its autumn finery! I’ve been enjoying Bake Off too, the Welsh girl Georgie comes from the village next to me so I’m rooting for her but think that Dylan might win.

Gorgeous colours in Kew!
ReplyDeleteI miss those UK programmes - now have to binge watch on Netflix or whatever!!
Happy WOYWW! Susan #9
I'm really loving all the autumn colours at the mo...our leaves are dropping quickly now sadly.

I do love the colours of autumn leaves. They fall off the trees to quickly. Happy WOYWW. Angela #11
ReplyDeleteIt's good to visit your blog to see what you're up to, that journal page looks promising and I am especially in ooh and awe over those photos of nature, such beautiful colors! I watch 'escape to the country' on a regular base and these photos come straight out of the episodes... 'beautiful views'! Hug from Holland, Marit #14
ReplyDeleteThe Autumn colours at Kew are stunning. What a treat. Thanks for sharing them. Good luck with your C cards. I have tried a bit of poinsettia collaging.😀x x Jo 🌈
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn colours in your Kew photos. I liked the Egyptian geese as well.

Oh how we differ, cooking is bad enough but on TV is a definite no no for me LOL. Tuesday I'm out dancing if I can get up enough motivation to go out in the cold and Wednesday mornings is going to church house group and organising Badminton club for Thursday.... At least you are planning Christmas cards, of which I'm not, usually make a mad dash in December sometime before last posting date! Love the grass stamping and the Autumnal leaves what scrumptious colours. I was quite taken aback by the colours driving home from Epsom last week. There is one road going up to the downs (Ashley Road) lined by Beech trees and the colour of the fallen leaves was quite breathtaking, I gasped as I drove by. Hugs BJ#10
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing the finished piece Helen. Sorry I am late commenting but I had to rush out yesterday morning then got told last minute we had a 2 hour meeting after school! Happy WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteOne of our fav shows in the Great British Baking Show, and we also have the Canadian version! Your journal is coming along well, looking forward to seeing what you do next! The close up of those vibrant leaves is wonderful! Have a great week, Lindart #15
ReplyDeleteYour journal page is coming together nicely! Happy WOYWW Rachel #16
