A Weekend For Colour

As is only right and proper for this time of year, the view outside my window is grey and somewhat lacklustre. Don't get me wrong, I'm a grey weather kinda person. I like a silvery sky. You need it to appreciate the bright blue ones, when they appear.

It does make me turn to bright colours more when the season is lacking. So when I was in the mood for crafting over the weekend, I pulled out my Simon Says Stamp ink collection. And, as I've rather been neglecting stamps, forsaking them for dies, of recent, I thought I'd blow the dust off them.

Using Clearly Besotted's Geometric Style set, I inked up the diamond shapes and stamped onto white card. There is a co-ordinating die set for cutting them out but as they are easy shapes, I didn't bother buying it and so I hand cut the stamped images. Or rather, I hand cut them as squares and rounded the corners with We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper on the 1/4" setting.

I adhered them carefully to black card and added the sentiment from the same set. 

I now have the urge to go out and rummage through thrift stores and charity shops for bright, colourful objects to scatter around the house.
