My "metalic" grungeboard/paper/whatever it's called!

Being totally inspired by my weekend away (have I told you that it was brilliant?) I found the wonderful Tim's grunge stuff and painted the letters in crimson red acrylic paint with black paint rubbed over. I then applied candy apple red glimmer mist, sticky fingers firework burst silver and then covered them with Viva precious metal mother of pearl. The result is below:
I then got Tim's smaller letters and painted them with venetian red, indigo and yellow ochre acrylic paint. I spritzed them with walnut gold glimmer mist and then rubbed copper precious metal paint over them. The result is this..................

These will be going on the wall in the cabin.
Hope you like them.
Would love to stay and chat but best get on with me knitting.......

Flamin' Windows...........


Yep, you got it - they're leaking again. This time I completely lost it. I went absolutely mad. Got straight on the phone to Cedexx and blew a gasket. All the chap would say was could I take a photo of the water pouring in. Pillock. After a lot of me losing my rag I told him I'm going to take some pics and email them to him and suggested he came up with a suitable solution.

As you can see they are a bit on the damp side. Well after I had cleared up YET AGAIN I had a total crafting splurg. I got out my paints, grungeboard letters, precious metal paints, glimmer mists and away I went. I'll take some pics tomorrow and put them on here. I have to say I am quite pleased with myself. So all was well in the end !!

Well it was until we went to pick up a chinese (meal that is not person) and couldn't find the car keys. After a few minutes I remembered something. We had gone to Lewes to pick up the works van and we went over in the car. Burn drove the car back. Burn got out the car and took the micky out of Ron cos he was hobbling down the road - he did look funny tho! Can you guess where the keys were - yep you got it again - still in the ignition. I realised cos I couldn't remember pressing the key fob to lock it..... I have never ever done that before ! Now I can here dearest darling hubby every time I come indoors after driving the car "HAVE YOU LOCKED THE CAR AND TAKEN THE KEY OUT "! Everytime I can promise you. He will never let me forget this !!!!!

Best get on with me knitting !
