As some of you may know, I have suffered with really bad post-natal depression over the last 18-months. I have found that allowing myself to have some creative time helps me to heal, stay sane and stretch my brain creatively.
This is my latest creation, inspired by several challenge blogs that I have recently started following. I really love challenge blogs as they make me think a lot more about how I use my stash.
I have taken my inspiration from the following sources:
And this is what I came up with:
I really enjoyed using these patterned papers (which I've had in my craft room for over four years - I bought them when we were in America on our honeymoon! Ooops!). The sentiment I have used is called Pretty Phrases from Paper Smooches.
I am going to enter this card into these three challenge blogs this week:
- Pinterest Inspired Challenge
- Paper Smooches SPARKS
- CAS(E) the Sketch
I'm also thinking about trying to film a card making video to upload to You Tube... is this something you would like to see? What card makers do you like to watch?
