The Days Of Spring Are Here

Good evening

What a day at work today.  I class myself as a Retailer, so I find it very hard when I'm told to pull colleagues off the shop floor to help pick for Home Shopping.  Home Shopping only takes 12% of our weekly takings, so in my own mind, I think we should be filling the shop floor.  Never mind, I have a day off tomorrow and have no intention of going anywhere near work.


My card tonight is clean and simple with the theme of spring.  I have used ProMarkers to make the background in the colours of yellow and green.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Your Next Stamp Stitching die
Tonic Delicate Dragonfly die
Crafty Individuals Summer Meadow Stamp
Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad
Mini flat back gemstones

Flower Fairy

Good evening

It's been a funny day today, firstly I woke up at 6.30 this morning, on my day off, so this didn't help my mood.  Then for the rest of the day, I didn't seem to know what to do with myself.  Managed to do some painting for a couple of hours and landed up spending the rest of the day playing games on the computer.


I did however, make one card.  This has been made in the colours of dark purple, lilac and bright pink.  The digital image is called Hydrangea Fairy from Aurora Wings and I have coloured it using ProMarkers.  I am disappointed with how the hair has turned out.
