Its been too long

You don't realise until you get older how many layers there are to a person, what makes them tick, the things that make them happy, sometimes the simplest things can evoke an emotion that unless your paying attention you might miss. I'm going to take this opportunity to thank the friends and family that have really been there to support me in the life changing decisions that I have had to make, and I made this card for you guy's you know who you are, the stamp set is Geode by concord and ninth and I have used mixed media paper and water colours on this to get lovely blending and I glittered the edge and added some crystal effects to give more dimension, the photo really does not do it justice in the centre I have die cut the greeting and lifted it up with more die cuts, it really didn't need much as the image says it all.

 Altenew's Mega succulent has really been challenging me to get those alcohol markers put to good use, due to work commitments I haven't crafted in over 2 years and I have really missed it having this time out has made me realise where my calling is, and I do believe I know where my heart is at and always has been so this giant flower which I purposefully coloured red to mimic a rose is for me, life is too short to be unhappy and when I'm happy i make others happy, its just how it is Peace and love x

Organisation and inspiration

I think organisation clears the mind, tidy work space tidy mind. I have always liked solutions that make my crafting easier and quicker, and this one from Connie Stewart has to be the best one that i have found for ink refills

And on that note, I was also organizing my wardrobe and came across a dress that i had not worn for at least ten years, it is from a big department store on sale and i have never worn red before but I loved it, I had also purchased a small gold handbag, so that inspired me to create this card that i really liked once id finished it with the patchwork perfection dies from Tonic studios, red and gold card and a small sentiment from my stash.

 

Hope you like it see you soon.

Robin red breast

Birds flock to my garden in the autumn and winter because of all the grubs and insects they find, not only that they have taken to stealing the rabbits feed as well, so I occasionally see the odd robin lurking around.

When i found this stamp set at an exhibition, I had to have it I was already having ideas on what to do with it, it calls for being layered up and coloured with reds and greens.

Woodware have been going for as long as I can remember, and I have many of the stamps that they have released and even my older ones are still perfect.

Breaking from tradition I have given you the close up first as I think you would appreciate the layering on this card
