Good Morning Ladies,
Yesterday was a total write off for a few reasons, exhaustion, anxiety mostly. I was sat with Paul at my desk from about 9am onwards but I could not get my mind to concentrate on anything.
So today I am sharing a card that I made last year, using a Tim Holtz stamp, I love this stamp and seeing this card has made me want to get it out and have a play! Hopefully today will be a better day.
Here is the description of making the card...
I stamped the image in vintage photo distress ink first (onto watercolour paper), then I wiped over the stamp and adding a little water to the leaves and red petals of the poinsettia then added dIstress watercolour pencils in Candied Apple and Rustic Wilderness to the areas I had added water too, a quick spritz of water and then stamp over the vintage photo ink (benefits of using stamp platform). It gives a bit of a watercoloured look, the vintage photo gives a vintage hue to the usually bright colours.
I hope that you all have a really good day,
My love & hugs to all of you dear sweet friends,
Sandra ❤️
It is a beautiful card and sometimes visiting an old idea is just enough to occupy ourselves Do another one today or try a Tracy Evans Thrinchie or Snippet

We have had a long day, rescuing a baby hedgehog first thing and delivering some of Pops clothes to him, or rather to one of his nurses as we didn’t want to upset him. It feels like it has been a very long day. I’m definitely ready for my bed.
Sleep well everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
