Industrial Chic One Day Special continues today

Hi Bloggers.

Back from a great beady week - I will share some photos next week, after I've had chance to take some pics. Unfortunately, our cat, Smokey, died on Tuesday. It was very sudden. A neighbour found her and brought her round to our house. The vet thinks that she had a heart attack. Totally unexpected as she was very healthy, very active and only 10 years old 😿. I've put a couple of pics of Smokey at the end of this post.

Lisa Horton continues with her One Day Special on Hochanda today with Sue Wilson's Industrial Chic Collection with shows at 9am, 1pm and 5pm.

Here's another card that I made featuring the dies -

The background was one that I made as a demo at the recent workshop I ran with Leonie Pujol.

I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card with an Anti-Static Pad. I stamped some of the stamps from the Woodware Pocket Watches Stamp Set using Onyx Black Versafine Ink. I added CS Matt Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. I misted a little CS Phill Martin Misters in Sunshine Yellow, Lime Burst and Purple Paradise onto my background. I dabbed off excess ink with a little Kitchen Roll which also transferred a little of the ink to other areas. I inked around the edges with CS Lime Burst Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I misted a little of the Purple Paradise Mister onto my Craft Sheet and picked it up with a paint brush to colour the butterflies. I repeated the process with Lime Burst and coloured some of the areas on the pocket watches. I matted onto Black Card and then Coconut White.

I cut the sentiment from the Inspirational Words die set out of Black Gloss Card.

I cut the Industrial Chic Swirl out of Black Gloss Card.

I cut the head from the Industrial Chic Mixed Essentials out of Black Gloss Card.

    Good Morning Julia

    I am so sorry to hear about your cat. How awful for you to come back to that after such a lovely time away. We have to be grateful when our lovely pets pass so quickly without suffering. My thoughts are with you though.

    A lovely card today and there were some lovely cards last night too. So many dies so little money.........

    Hi Julia, Such sad news about Smokey, when an animal 'goes to Heaven' it is as bad as a 'human', they are all part of our families, and it is heartbreaking when they 'pass', my heartfelt condolences.
    On to a lighter subject, your card is fabulous, colours are lovely and as you know, I absolutely adore these die sets.
    So glad you enjoyed your beading retreat.
    Take care.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
