More Emboss Resist

 Here's another card made with the same stamps and the same technique that I talked about on Wednesday, but you can see what a different look you can get with different inks - See Wednesday's post HERE - you can see a stray bit of embossing powder got onto one of the petals, but I figured it didn't matter...

For this one, I used wild honey and persimon distress inks, and no pearly sheen. I also kept the flowers flat rather than curled and layered. the tiny sentiment is from a pack of tiny letter stickers that I bought in Jo-Anns and was just perfect........everything has it's moment in the sun!

So - the video thing. Well I can't tell you how obsessed I have been this week. If I had devoted this much time to some worthwhile occupation in my younger years, I would be something like a nuclear physicist by now - I could have won a Nobel prize and been feted all over the world......

But I didn't. So..............

the more I trawl YouTube, the higher my aspirations become. So I watch the likes of Jennifer McGuire and Tim Holtz in awe, forgetting that I am just an ordinary crafter bumbling around in a very messy tiny space, and with the computer skills of a three year old. I discovered that if you play copyright music on your videos, YouTube will remove it. Now for someone who has yet to learn how to trim a video, this shouldn't really have bothered me. Music? I can barely master the art of talking on these things let alone insert soothing music. 

But I became fixated on this music thing, so trawled around for royalty free music for videos. Well, most of it seemed to be pounding drums type rock, classical music that would be very nice at a funeral, or hip hop - the thought of you all sitting with your coffee, watching my inept fumblings, bouncing around in your seats to a bit of hip hop does make that very attractive to me.

The other thought that has occurred, is that the more I tell you about this video saga, the more you are going to expect something along the lines of Gone with the Wind when I eventually post - boy, are you in for disappointment. But don't be sad, if I get it right, the video might be rubbish, but at least you can jig around while you watch......

See you tomorrow x
