Hi there, and welcome to another fun Saturday of Social Stamping, hosted by the gorgeous Kelly Kent. Kelly is in WA but she's assembled a group of stamping friends from all over, and this week's theme is "Thank You", and I am grateful to be able to connect with such lovely friends -together but apart as our new normal seems to be.
I have many things to be thankful for.
I am most grateful for my beautiful family.
I am also thankful that I have a creative hobby to help relieve some worry and concern this week. We might all need more of that in the months to come- lucky I have a well stocked craft room !
I really enjoyed painting these flowers, mixing inks as I went. It was the wee hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep and it really relaxed me. The background piece is a watercolour wash with a mix of inks too, and it came up well with some highlight stamping before I ran it through the embossing folder. I've gone back to stitching with my sewing machine - I'd fogotten how much I like that effect, and in an effort to use some of the many embellishments in my stash I pulled out the mini library clips- love these.
Quite my chance it fits with the colour scheme proposed by Stampin' Up! this week for #keepstamping. You can create with all or some of these colours and share your card with the hashtag too.

There's a tiny Wink of Stella too and the sequins for a touch of sparkle.
if you get lost you can head back to Kelly's Post for a complete list and links to all of the participants.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
WOWSERS Liz, This is just so BEAUTIFUL... So pretty are the colours you have used <3

ReplyDeleteGreat card. I’ve always loved the stitching but never given it a go as I think I’d stuff it up! Love all of the elements on your card
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I love the mixing colours and the stitching! I love both papercrafting and sewing and I forget to incorporate the two! I will have to do this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Liz, I love how you’ve mixed the inks. Love the stitching too, I’m yet to use my sewing machine on a card.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness we have our cardmaking during these challenging times, I love the way you have mixed up the elements to make a stunning card x
ReplyDeleteLiz, you are an artist. Everything about your card is sensational. I love the colouring and the stitching and the way the branch of blossoms hangs down from the greeting. Stunning.
