I've been kind of quiet in the craft department for the past few months. I broke my foot about two months ago and spent a long time in a support boot. Even without the boot, I can't move as well as I should. Since getting to my craft space requires going down stairs (still difficult), I'm still not crafting much. However, I do miss it, so I've pushed myself to battle the stairs a few times to play with my crafty supplies. Here's my most recent project.
The central die-cut is a lovely branch of spring flowers, which I watercolored in shades of mint and a heathery lavender. For a sentiment, I die-cut the world "happy" (Stamplorations die) and combined it with white-embossed "birthday" on a small brown panel. Everythng is mounted on a white panel embossed with a dot pattern, which in turn is on a brown card. The butterfly in the corner is painted with the same colors as the flowers.
This card is entered in these challenges:

ReplyDeleteSo glad you chose to come and play in the Butterfly garden with me with this pretty card. Hope you will be able to get about more soon. I have broken a wrist in the past and that wasn't pleasant but at least it didn't stop me from getting around. It must have been quite frustrating for you not being able to craft as and when. Hugs Mrs A.
