Sketch Saturday #37

I had the day off work today so I had time to stamp, the ironing will have to wait until tomorrow. I participated in the Sketch Saturday challenge, I liked this sketch and I thought I'd better do it this afternoon as it would be closing tomorrow. It did take me a little while to complete as it has so many layers.

UStamp - Split Negative Technique

I am participating in the UStamp and have just learnt about the split negative technique unfortunately I don't have black embossing powder so I had to use gold for both sides instead of the traditional black and white.

Victorian Bushfires...Please help them if you can

It is just so terrible with the death toll has reached 127 people to date have perished in the Victorian Bushfires. It's just so sad for the many families of these people with over 800 homes burnt to the ground.

I have just been online to donate to the Australian Red Cross who are helping these people, and if you reading my blog please help these people either with your thoughts and prayers or even donating to this cause.
