Just roll with it!

There’s so many people I’d love to give a card like this to – people who maybe just need to be reminded that sometimes, life just throws something at you and instead of stressing out about it (which achieves nothing) just chill out – roll with it!!  Of course, I include myself in those people – maybe I should keep it and stick it on my mantelpiece to remind myself to do it!!

I spent some of the weekend playing with more of my new goodies and this gorgeous sushi image (LOVE IT THE MOST) is from Calorie Free by Paper Smooches.  I’ve never owned any PS sets before and I have to say – they are fabulous to work with – great for a spot of colouring too – always good therapy!  The panel across the bottom is done using the one of the Border 1 dies – how useful is that going to be?!!  I can see myself using it quite a bit!  I coloured the sushi with Copics and then added a liberal coating of my clear wink of stella brush to a few areas (think I’m going to need to replace that soon!!)

Right, better get on with it – have a good week!

A vision in pink.

Just whizzing in with a quick post to share the card I’ve whipped up for the current challenge at The Card Concept.  The theme this time is “Monochromatic Pink” so I pulled out one of my new purchases – the fabby Spiffy Scooters from Paper Smooches.  Perfect for a bit of paper piecing as it has quite large open spaces on the image.  I think this falls into the “Clean and Layered” category once again – beginning to think that’s my style as they’ve all been that so far!!!
