Here I am again with another set of ATC's completed, thanks Vic for your help and the use of your stamps and inks, only had white lace, but a little bit of parisienne essence and vinegar in boiling water made vintage lace, not sure about the orange flowers, so stampesd them with basic brown to tone them down, happy with the result.

Bit sad at the moment, some b...... run over Misty, the mostly white cat in the pics in the last post I found her dead on the road. MOTH wanted to know why I didn't start the excavator and dig the hole in the pet graveyard down the back and bury her, we don't do things in a small way around here, that's what he did when he got home, well one things for sure the next door neighbours dog is not going to dig it up and take it home and leave it on the doorstep like Dudley & Michelles dog did years ago, with one of the dogs that we buried after about three weeks in the ground, it was nice and ripe. LOL

I have finished another one, not sure I got it right this time. I googled woodland animals 1st,then tried forest animal images and there were pages of them and they all seemed to be English animals, so then I started on possums & quolls etc,till I found a cute possum that I could use for a paper tole technique, then I went driving out the bush and took a heap of photos of the scrub, found a perfect one for the background. after going to all that trouble ,I'm not happy with the result.I will put in a couple of pics. Then trying to take the pics was another drama, the flash reflected on the glossy photo, so took it outside to try in the natural light and the damn cats harassed me trying to help, they are a pair of characters.

Sorry about the long post I seem to be rambling a bit today. I am going to the friendship patchwork day I went to last month and I was a month early, so I landed there with my plate of goodies & show & tell, it was block of the month day. so made sure before I turn up with everything and make a idiot of myself again
