Real work in progress! I started last evening by clearing up a bit, and then had an idea for the monthly ATC I swap with Karen. Her choice of theme this month was ' Vintage Lady'. You can just see her ATC poking out from under the ink pad at right; I was so surprised at the speed of its arrival that I felt the need to not put off what can be done today.... Mr Dunnit has gone to the East for the day (Kent!) and had an early start so I did too and here we are. You can't tell, but I've just stamped the big foliage stamp in white onto the layered papers of the ATC and I've embossed it with clear powder. I'll photo it more closely in a minute because it made a really nice but not white image on the printed papers!
That's some strange chemistry between ink pad and paper, huh!
The creme egg box still contains receipts but the sales have slowed now so am not so worried about keeping track of the delivery receipts, so who knows, I may ditch the box. Free up a couple of square inches, huh!
I don't know if you can see, at far right there's a bunch of foil shapes. They are my Kathy's work, she sent me a bunch of foiled balloon dog images and I'm over them enough to have cut them out and think about using them. Probably on scrapbook pages though because I may not be over them enough to give them away on cards...we'll see how the muse strikes. Now, I've really got to go and start my day properly, coffee and some chores before I can come back to the desk.

I love how you've layered up for this ATC. Chores? OMG you're not well too I see :-) Have a great week.

Nice job. That stamp is lovely - I do like a nice swirl. And the stamped lady just gives off such a joyful vibe. You've reminded me I must set aside an ATC for Kathy in America so I can send her a swap one. Not sure about you but I do like a day where The Hubster is away and I can work uninterrupted. I get so much more done and don't even mind eating lunch alone in exchange!
Happy no-knitting WOYWW day!

I do quite like a day on my own in the house, seem to get loads done! Hope Mr D has a good trip and you have fun playing after the chores. I do like that big swirly stamp, that’s gorgeous and the ATC has turned out not too shabby either! Hope all is well Chez Dunnit xx

Good morning, Lovely Lady! Good to see your creativity at work! Miss you!
You are doing well, Julia to have made the ATC licketty split, I really like it. Fast post that’s something we miss Downunder, snail mail isn’t respected like parcels are. Changing times. Happy WOYWW, prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x #3
