White card stock
Red card stock
Nellie's Choice ED004 Edging die set

I decided this week that I was going to start going out more on my days off from work, I have been feeling a little trapped lately.  I gave up my career to look after my son, which is what I wanted to do at the time, but he has now been at university for the last year, leaving me feeling a bit down about not having a prepose, so I am going to start getting out and about more to see if this helps.


Anyway, I have made a quick clean and simple card tonight.  The digital stamp is called Miyabi from Aurora Wings and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Purple Fairy

Afternoon peeps

That has been a hard couple nights and I'm only half way through the week.  Sunday night we had to land a seasonal aisle full of wine and beer, which would have been fine if we hadn't had to drag in 30 heavy cages up a ramp.  Neither of us are supposed to do anything heavy, me with my back problem and Phil, who I work with, because of his bad heart.  It doesn't seem to worry the company, they just want it done.


Anyway, I have relaxed this afternoon with a little crafting.  The digital stamp is called Christmas Present from All Dressed Up and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Lilac Centura Pearl card stock

Spellbinders Shining Star die set
Crystal Glamour Dust glitter
Sequins
