Hello everyone! I have a new design and creations to share with you this challenge. Used a couple of new dies and colored a little better (my eyes just keep healing). First let me share who our fabulous sponsors are.

Cute As A Button Prize~3 digi images of the winners choice |
My image this fortnight is from SheepSki Designs and called 'Forget me knot'. I really love working with their designs. Always something fantastic to be had in their etsy store. Go have a look. Here is a card I have created.
 |
| This is my attempt at creating a very girlie girl fancy card. For the shapes I used Crafters Companion Garden of Love (2019), Very very old glitter paper and a whole lot of Prismacolor Pencils. The font used is called 'Brilliant Starlight' (dafont.com). The laces have been around since dirt. The flower spray is brand new and from the last Tuesday Morning Haul. |
 |
| This paper is from DCWV Journaling (2018) I used CC gold embossing powder and heat set it. |
 |
| This is the back of the card. I recently found a whole lot of retired Stampin Up sets at my local St. Vinnies thrift store. This is just one stamp of many. |
 |
| Here is a better look. I may color the flowers. |
 |
| This is what happens when our new kitty wants attention. He got fixed last week and feels he needs mommies cuddles all the time. He is back to normal and doing zoomies around the house again! |
Many many designers make simply stunning creations. Lots of flowers, embellishments and their colouring is amazing. I have been reading a lot from
a group called Kit and Clowder (FB link). Besides being a wonderful teacher, Alyce is also a mental health specialist using coloring/crafting as her medium. Her teaching is very very well done. But what I have gleaned the most is her teaching of mindfulness. I felt like I would NEVER be good enough to compete, no compete is the wrong word, compare myself to the other designers. But in my studies I have learned that I am unique in this world. I should never compare myself with the work of others. After so many years, I haven't overcome this obstacle. I can say that by practicing mindfulness and learning more about crafting I can be proud of my work.
OK now I am done. See you in a fortnight.
Stay safe, stay healthy and brightest blessings,

| Happy St. Patricks Day! |
Jana this is so beautifully feminine. Your card design and embellishments draw the eye to your gorgeous image. I must say that my favourite picture of all is the one with kitty stealing the stage! I have one of those for almost all my cards. My camera comes out, and one of our cats thinks it's his own personal SHOWTIME!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're finding value in Alyce's teaching! Don't ever compare yourself with others! You are uniquely gifted and talented and a true value to the Penny's team, and to me.
