Sailing!

Hi Everyone, I have just realised I haven't blogged for nearly a week, I have been around blogland and have been making cards, just not getting them on here. I've also added inserts to masses of cards I have made in the last couple of months, also making a batch make, that I will show another day.

Anyhow, my card today came about in a matter of seconds, OK maybe a minute or two. We are carers for our son and we had a phone call the other day from the local Carers Association. One of their "days" was card making, well! I couldn't say no to that could I? it was a Zoom call due to Covid etc. They delivered a few things to everyone before hand and we were supposed to use them to make a card. 

During the call however everyone else was making what they wanted, only one was a cardmaker and not that often. I was a bit disappointed and tried to make things with what I had from them, it was a complete disaster, (all the others produced great cards) and when we were told we had 2 minutes to go, I threw placed it into the bin. I got the kraft card and washi tape that also came from them and got some stamps out and just went for it, this is the result. The blue circle I admit was done later to "finish" the card off.

I wouldn't say it's one of my best card by any stretch of the imagination, but for being done so quickly I was pleased so was the host. (He was probably pleased I had produced something LOL). The next one is in October, we'll see what happens then. They also rang last week, saying the next "day" was cooking? Whaaaaat? No thanks, Hubby is the main cook here LOL

My DT card today is made with the fabulous Lacy Sunshine Bubbles Sailing, just perfect for someone going on a cruise holiday (vacation).


I have used papers and elements from the digi kit Hatteras by Wild Blueberry Ink, I love this kit. This is entirely digital. I added shadows to papers and elements and image, painted the image in PS, added a "stroke" to the papers to give the effect of layering. I also added a "style" to the band around the barrel.

Here is the printed card, so easy when done in digi first. Taken in VERY bright sunshine.



PS TIP - I have been learning a few things off the Creative Live web site with (Dave Cross, PS teacher) and I put it to good use in this card.  Instead of having all the layers shown, (a lot) I "grouped" the paper layers with the elements, then the image top layers in another group, I could select which group I wanted to show and print that group, then the same with the other group after "hiding" the first printed group. I hope you PS users understand this. Sorry it's mumbo jumbo for the rest of you LOL.  It's something I shall be doing in the future, made it so easy.
