Life is too important

Hi Bloggers.

Well, I'm attempting to post this via my phone as my laptop is now over heating so I still don't have it back. It could be Thursday before I get it back! Nightmare! There's an awful lot of time and pain in this post!

I have now given up after about 3 hours of trying to do this on my phone so I have persuaded the other half to let me use his ipad again.

Anyway, finally, here's today's card from the shows last week (not a brilliant photo but at least there is one!).

So, the background is made using the bubblewrap stamp with Stormy Sky Distress Ink, the Chicken Wire stamp with Barn Door Distress Ink, the spray can stamp from the Urban Beats Stamp set with Forest Moss Distres Ink and the skateboarder from the Anything is Possible Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I distressed around the edges with my scissors and then inked with Forest Moss using Cut n Dry Foam.

The main skateboarder is from the Silhouette Skateboard stamp set and has been stamped using Jet Black Archival, cut out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and then inked through the die with Forest Moss. 

The sentiment is from the Urban Life Stamp Set and has also been stamped with Jet Black Archival and then cut out using Spellbinders Matting Basics A. I inked through the die with Forest Moss.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in black Pearl around the edges and a couple of Faux Screw Brads in Antique Copper in the top corners of the background.

Thanks for stopping by. Will do my best to post again tomorrow.
Julia.

    Morning Julia, Oh your poor laptop, it isn't feeling any better, I do hope the 'computer doctor' can fix it, so glad your hubby has let you use his.
    Your card is brilliant, I am always in 'awe' at your backgrounds, they are always so fantastic, I don't know how you decide which colours to use together.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Poor Julia you are having a very frustrating time. It is when you don't have a working computer that you realise how much you use it. Thanks for still managing to give us a card for inspiration in spite of your difficulties.
