Stamping and Sponging

Hi there ...
How's your week been?
Mine's been quite busy with family stuff etc., but today 
I spent time in the city with my SIL ... It's been far too long since we were able to have some girlie time ... a little shopping, lunch and a chat over a coffee or two ... It would have been nice if we could have left off the coats and not had to carry umbrellas ... but at least we had fun ...
The world's biggest ocean liner the Queen Mary 2 was in dock and our brand new city library opened today too ... here are a couple of photos of the new library 



You wouldn't get me on those stairs ... I'm scared of heights and the glass sides make it even more daunting for me!

I have a little card to share ... 
The challenge over at CCCB is about using a stamp 2 different ways ... Where is everyone? I don't see any entries yet ... The DT have shown various methods to use your stamps and here is another way ... Stamping and sponging with ink pads

This is a stamp from Inkylicious and I used various ink pads to sponge this ... I'm still trying to perfect the technique but it's fun mixing colours and seeing the results


I used a couple of 3D stickers and added the lamp post (a memory box die) which was just sitting in my  bits box


Well I have to say that all that walking today has worn me out ... I'm going to cook dinner and have a relaxing evening ...

Enjoy your weekend my friends and thanks so much for popping in ...

Keep safe
