It feels sew good.....


Hello all,

Well I finally feel like I have a card to show you, I know I have done a couple of posts in the week, but in all honesty I have really not been happy with the last few cards I have created, I am not sure if that Is because they are not that good or just because of the way I am feeling at the mo.

Life has just been mad recently and I have been finding it difficult to cope, I reached breaking point, and so I have had a couple of days at my mums house, just to hide away from the world for a couple of days, I managed to have a full days crafting and it felt great....it is weird to say that you NEED to make cards, but sometimes it really helps to make life bearable......Anyhoo...thats quite enough of me!!!

I have finally made a card I am happy with, I do love this Lorali image!!...I have coloured it with copic markers.....the tape measure detail I have hand made from some scrap white paper which I just coloured with copics and then added the markings in...the paper is "WRMK - Tiffanys"

Thanks for looking, it is much appreciated!

  8. I love these cards of yours they are so much fun. the colouring up is amazing and I love the use of the white pen - really finishes it off.
    I know what you mean about crafting, I am almost working full time until December and it doesn't give me enought time to play and to experiment. But I ill do my best.
    Please take care of yourself Juls, we all need time to relect and be at peace - to re-generate the batteries. Thinking of you. Luv B xxx

  23. Aww Juls {{{{{HUG}}}}} I think it's that time of year - it's not been too easy for me just lately too! However, on the bright side, there's always tomorrow...! So glad you managed to get away and have some space, you obviously needed it. Your card is wonderful in all respects - colouring is superb!!! xxx
