Hi everybody!
Where did the week go?
The older I get, the faster time flies by....
I have a very sore thumb just now, encased in a splint, which makes a lot of typing mistakes!
Our theme this week is ephemera. I used partly peeled cardboard painted with gesso for the background, various scraps of DP and some old book paper as matting, and smeared gold Utee down the right side and stamped into it. The stamped panel in the middle was a scrap card used to try out stamps, and the umbrella man was cut twice, once from black card recycled from a calendar, and once from an ancient passport from Uruguay, which someone threw away....The sentiment is from TH.
Have a great week, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Valerie
FABulous Valerie!! And umbrella man looks very swish in his fancy suit ;) I do hope the hospital can give you hope for long term relief on your thumb. :o))
ReplyDeleteHe is indeed a rather swish umbrella man. Digit certainly can be so painful. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeletelove the use of the passport--what a great find!
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific tag Valerie. Your recycling is always amazing

ReplyDeletefabulous elements working wonderfully well together! xo
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag, love all the different elements. Hope your thumb is better soon, from someone with a broken one, giving her problems.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Wendy, I never before realised that thumbs could hurt so much!
ReplyDeleteFinding that passport was an amazing piece of luck. It makes for a fabulous outfit for the umbrella man.
ReplyDeleteFab layers on your tag! I hope your thumb is better soon, it must be awkward trying do do anything creative.
