GB2- GB3- GB6- GB8- GB11- EB6CR3- DR3- DR5- DR7- IG1- IG3 HB3- BGR1- BGR2- BGR3 – Blender

Friday Fun

Good Morning Everyone

what a day it was yesterday  dry as a bone till 6 pm

then the heavens opened got pretty scary at one point ….main drains on roads over flowed

thunder and lightening the full works…… i was looking for Noah to sail past…

here is the final plate i have made from the Jayne Nestorenko stamps

Venice seems very appropriate with all this rain

as with the other 2 plates  this was water colour painted matted onto pre printed paper

  then onto Centrua Pearl Card

from Crafters Companion

i hope where ever you are your safe  we have more rain on the way so they tell us

have a great weekend and thank you for popping by
