Penny Farthing



Good bright morning to you all! I have been out and about this morning, I had an appointment at audiology at 8-15 to be fitted with digital hearing aids, wow, the sounds I had forgotten or didn't realise I was missing. I heard my footsteps going downstairs at the hospital, the indicator clicking when I signaled to turn left, and, my fridge when it is on it's noisy phase is already getting on my nerves, it's on silent now thank goodness! Can I take this opportunity to say thank you to follower No: 19 Patricia Howarth, I know we will be communicating one way or another Patricia. Well I suppose this card should be Grunge  2 shouldn't it? I used a TST mask for the penny farthing on Bazill card, the cogs and ticket are Kanban, which have been heat embossed with Versamark and powder from my stash, the background under the cogs is a play a round with TST and Splodgeaway masks and DI's and a Dawn Bibby mica spray. Well that's it from me, I am just going to cut some felt leaves with my Big Shot, for school this afternoon. Keep warm.

  3. Hi Carol, Got quite a shock when I saw my name in print there, thank you for welcoming me. I love this penny farthing mask you have used and the gears etc really complement the image, I picked up a Memory Box penny farthing die-cut at Event City, that would go really well with this mask, must get the mask now ha ha.
    Hopefully you are getting used to your new hearing aids now, it must be strange to hear sounds that you are not used to, but will you have the ability to 'turn them off' if you want to ? ha ha. Enjoy the rest of your day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  7. Hi Carol,

    This card is great! I love the cog wheels for the bike.

    I'm glad your hearing aides are working for you. You made me laugh about hearing the refrigerator running.... mine does that too.

    On to your WOYWW post.

    Peace,
    Kay

  9. Congrats, Carol, on your new hearing ability, and I'm sure you'll get used to it soon! I don't know how, but I just found myself commenting on your nativity card from back in Dec, when I clicked on your profile. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog post for WOYWW and for your encouragement there. Now you've had it twice!! Happy crafting, Chris x
