Good Monday morning! I hope you weekend was good and you celebrated the dad’s in your life with good food, good drink and plenty of family. I know we did! Mallory organized a great meal for all of us (Kate, Will and my mom included) . . . I grilled kabobs while she made the sides and a GF mixed berry cobbler!
On the Mallory front, we are still waiting for test results from last Friday. Her cough isn’t any better after being on the meds the specialist prescribed, so we are prepared for what might be next if last weeks tests come back negative.  After long talks yesterday, she has decided to defer TFA for one year and continue with her masters here at home. It’s more important that she feel well . . . we can’t send her off and not know what is going on.
I kept myself busy with CHA projects over the weekend, but was able to sneak in one more Faux Batik project (Faux Bleach/Batik Technique). I know . . . I know! I’ve done a number of these recently, but they are just so damn much fun to make. Where else to you get the thrill of watching the embossing powder melt together and the joy of ironing it all off . . . there is something about seeing that image appear on the printer paper as the embossing melts. (It’s like watching the powder melt, only in reverse.)
This is another stamp that I picked up while browsing The Queen’s Ink, Damask by Judikins. The paper (which I got at the same time) is Natures Garden Collection from Prima. Sponging the inks over the image to match the paper was way too much fun!
The sentiment, so grateful, is from a very old SU Hostess set that I dug out of my storage cabinet. I wanted a small sentiment for a small tag on the front of the card, leaving the inside blank for a handwritten note of thanks.
I’m off now to fight Mallory for my daily puzzles . . . she’s done them every day before I could get to the paper!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Such a beautiful card. I love all the soft colors and multiple layers. Thanks for the inspiration.
Another beautiful creation; thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous card Sherry. Love the main focal image and what you have done with it. Lots of fun that technique. That mixed berry cobbler sounds wonderful would you be willing to share the recipe? TFS!!! 😀
I absolutely love this card. I live here is MD and visit the QI regularly. I wanted to get to your classes but it didn’t work out. I hope you come back because you are one of my favorite artists and come H*** or high water I will get there. Thanks for sharing your art with us. (I am off to the QI to get this stamp)
Lovely card, sure hope that Mallory can get some answers very soon!
Oh, wow! This is absolutely lovely!
This is beautiful! I’ll have to try this technique, it looks amazing:)
Sherry, your faux batik cards are beautiful, and if it makes you happy, I say go for it. I hope Mallory gets to the bottom of what’s causing her cough. I sympathise with her as I have just gone through 3 months of coughing with a severe chest infection. Not knowing what’s wrong is more worrying though. TFS
That is beautiful!! I love that stamp image also. Does that heat tool blow the powder around like my old marvy one? Love all the product info.
what a beautiful card. love this technique.
This is a fun technique. I need to do it again. Love the colors you chose! Hope Mallory turns the corner soon.
very pretty card. love the damask.
Gorgeous!
