Apologies for the absence but I have been unable to blog due to a technical hitch which only affected my computer!! Something had to be deleted and hey presto I am back again. Have also been on holiday to Italy. Visited Turin, Florence, Bologna and Parma. Even managed to be there when they had a mild earthquake. It was so hot there; started off around 30 degrees and soon advanced to 42 degrees. I bet you will be surprised to know I am pleased to be back enjoying 18 degrees!
So here is a card I made a few weeks ago.
This was inspired by my best mate Eileen; her beautiful work can be seen here.
For the background I used two of Ryn's stamps, they are wonderful to use and when used appear so lifelike they are amazing. I used Distress Inks for the background and pan pastels for the flowers. Using a white Posca pen to highlight the flowers (and water droplets) is very effective.
Hope you enjoy the week and fingers crossed I will be back soon. Kx

Hey Karen, thanks so much for the email With the link to this post. I'm so glad that I got to see it :) I can see how you were inspired by Eileen but this is definitely your own creation. Love the bright colours and cut out flowers. You got Water Droplets to look especially 3D too. Gorgeous! I'll repost to my Facebook page probably this weekend or early next week.
