Summer Camp 2 - Eeek I have managed a card!!!

Hi all, I have took a class from Online Card Classes called Summer Camp 2, as I have huge problems trying to make cards since I started doing lots of tags, hangings, canvases etc.  I can do the cute cards with patterned papers but I wanted to do some stamping cards, getting inky style on cards.  Well I haven't been able to play along all week (started on Monday) as of course I have been resting after my back thingy.  But now I have managed to get into the craft room and have a go and Eeeek it took a whole day to do one card!!!! and it is a complete disaster lol.  Doesn't help that my sewing machine had a fit (I do believe it is a user mistake lol) but still it sort of ruined it.  But hey ho I thought I would show it lol.  Anyway we had the following colours and sketch to work with - can't show a picture as its in class but I used white, yellow, orange and dark pink (not that you would believe it lol).

The background was distress stains (recipe at bottom of page) using

mustard seed, picked raspberry, spiced marmalade and picket fence,

then added perfect pearls pearl.

Then I used Fresco snowflake paint with an Andy Skinner mask,

as I tried loads of ways of doing something to actually add another

stamped layer (don't get me wrong if I had got my patterned papers

out this would have been doing pretty quickly lol).  So the

masked area and doodles are that part of the sketch, and of course

 you can see the sewing messes lol.  

You can definitely see the yellow (just!!!)

Right I had better be off.  I have to admit its nice to be back creating at last, even though my craft room is in disarray seems I had the idea to start sorting it all just before my back procedure injections lol.
Think I need to get painty tomorrow, mind you I can't believe I'm back to work on Monday and I shall be able to drive again (the last four weeks I have been unable to drive so thank goodness to be able to get out into the world again lol).  Hope you all are having a nice weekend.  Lots of hugs :-) Kezzy xxxxx
