I had PT this morning and then gave blood this afternoon. While I was at the blood center, my pulse was only 68 and the tech said it was very faint and asked if I felt all right. I said yes, but I was very tired. So she took my hemoglobin and it was in the safe range, so I was able to give blood. I feel a lot better tonight.
Tonight I went over to Shelly's to make cards. These are some of the cards I made. This first one is made with all Stampin' Up papers, inks, stamps, etc. I think it is gorgeous, even if I do say so myself!! This is a watercolor technique where you get the paper soaking wet and then add the color. Since the paper is so wet, the color spreads out. It's a lot of fun to do.
These are examples of using wax and a hot iron. First you stamp the image on a glossy piece of cardstock. Then you add the wax - any color you want. As you iron the wax around, you get different patterns in the color. I don't think it's a technique that I'll do here at home, but it was fun to try it. I really like the designs the wax made as you move it around on the card...but it's messy and I'm not into messy!!
This top one is a copper color and the next one is actually a chartreuse...it looks kind of yellow here, but it's not.
This is the one I chose to put on a card. The sky is an aqua and the grass is the copper color. It's much prettier in person. Sorry!
We did 8 of these wax cards and finished 2 of the rose cards. I've got enough roses, however, to make several more.
Tomorrow is a big day so I'm going to bed. I have PT at 8:00 and when I'm finished with it, I'm heading to Fairfield to help Chris again with her mom's dishes. More later...
