Spring soon

 Well, what a year so far....

We are back in lockdown - again. - ish.

I'm not going into it, but let's just say that last time we locked down, we had max 38 children

in school, and this time there are 130. 

All available staff are in. It's crazy. It's stressful. It needs to change!

Now to get on with my card before I blow my top...


A lovely image called Heart of Spring by Ching Chou Kuik.

I coloured her with my promarkers and wanted to keep her simple.

So I inked the edges and dry embossed around the image. 

A few punched butterflies and a stamped sentiment finished this card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Happy new year!

 Happy 2021!!
It's got to better than 2020, hasn't it?!

Thought I'd start off the year with a card I made,
using Patties Creations image: Party Gnomes. ..


It was a lovely image to colour. 
I just used a few flesh colours for the gnomes noses,
and red, green and blue combinations for their clothes.
A darker blue balloon (also used glossy accents on this one) 
and a yellow star finished this image off,
along with a computer generated sentiment.
I dry embossed the edges of the card, as I always
thinks this gives a "finished" quality and I dotted around the edge of the image.
(I almost turned this into faux-stitching, but stopped myself at the last minute.)

This card is for a man, so didn't want to put too many
added extras to the image.
