Day 18 - "P"

Today I‘m thankful for miracles…those little, everyday miracles we take for granted, the little ‘coincidences’ (or God incidences, as some of us call them) we are thankful for AND the BIG ones we don’t see quite as often, but we DO see them now and again... totally inexplicable events and occurrences.
Time has been short today, so I made a quick card. The Inkylicious words just happened to be on my stamping mat because I took them out for some reason last week and left them out so that I would use them!
I took my favourite Penny Black stamp off the wooden mount last week and attached it to some EZ mount, so I could use it in my Stamping Platform 
I ended up having to mount this onto a 7” square card – it would, perhaps, have been more suitable for a journal page and will probably make its way into one of my journals in this form or a similar one.
These other cards use one of my favourite Miracle stamps, from Impression Obsession. The first was dry embossed after making the card front, the second was an Oxide background, with a white embossed image and some Brilliance Moonlight White overstamping and stencilling. The flowers were coloured with Prismas.
I’m sharing this with Art Every Day Month
Retro Rubber Challenge – Anything Goes (I’ve had the PB fuchsia stamp around 15 years!)
and
Creative Fingers – Anything Goes.
Thanks for visiting today – always lovely to ‘see’ you
Back soon

Both your cards are fantastic! I like the impressionist style of your first card. The colours you've used are so sympathetic to the style. Lovely! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
I know what you mean here Cath and don't they often happen just when you need them!? These cards are beautiful, the sketchy one looks very artistic, the embossing on the second one really is striking and the last one...well...those colours are fabulous! Hope you are having a good week! Hugs, Chrisx
Beautiful cards Cath, all the images looked lovely and I can imagine how the first stamp one will be great for journals..

I’ve been without electricity for over a day. It has been frigid cold here and my fingers are still not warm. I would have been by sooner, but wanted to get something together for AEDM.
I can envision that first card being part of an art journal. It is lovely and the way you colored it is fabulous.
Your other cards are great, too. I am so in awe of all the cards you are able to make each day for AEDM.
Love the last card so much. It really showcases the image somewhat.
I can understand you taking the Penny Black one off the block - the stamping platform is such a useful tool for stampers that it makes sense, plus it solves storage problems too. Can see why this is a favourite image of yours. beautiful.
Hugs, Neet xx
Love your quick cards Cath. I am having one of those busy weeks too! No fancy art from me, but your cards are much more creative than what I am putting together. Hugs-Erika
