Another Quiet Life Card

 

Good Wednesday Morning Ladies, 

I hope today finds you as well as possible and that gloomy weather isn't dulling your mood..  i have to admit that I am more than ready to see a little sunshine, I don't mind if it's a clean, crisp , cold day, a little bit of sunshine really does lift your mood.  I have two daylight lamps but even having them both on makes little difference.   The other reason is that I want to get out and have a little walk around the garden to see it showing the early signs of bursting into life.  

Today I am sharing the second card I made using my Stamperia 'Quiet Life' junk journal. I cut my card base 'landscape' for a change,   with that in mind I cut out one of the postcards and added it on an angle on my card base, (I inked the edges of all of the elements before adding them)  I cut the over hanging bit of postcard off,  then I fussy cut the beautiful flower spray from the bottom of one of the background papers and popped some foam pads to lift it so that I could tuck some of the elements behind it.  I pressed out the watch from the die cut sheet and fussy cut the label from one of of the lovely papers. I inked them, rolled the corner to make it look more 'distressed'  and arranged them behind that floral spray.  I love the added detail of the coffee rings etc on the postcard, making look more aged and interesting.  

Quite a quick card, no splatters, the only added embellishment is the little pearl drops I added randomly with a pearl pen.  

Today's affirmation really helped me,  I have no choice but to go slow, whether its up the stairs or out in the garden, I often feel guilty for holding everyone up,  but it's ok to take your time,  mentally and physically.  I hope you find them helpful  😘

I hope that you have a good Wednesday,  

Love & hugs to all of you,
