Good day folks :) Today I am sharing a card I have made using the fab image
Wonderland by Molly Harrison available from Sweet Pea Stamps as a digi
To begin with I coloured the image with Promarkes, Faber Castell Polychromos and then used chalks for the background.
I then created my card blank and stamped a cherry blossom rubber stamp onto mauve paper using a embossing stamp pad. Chalks were used again in a mixture of colours to tone in with the image.
Next I took the contrasting colour - burgandy, and created the frame by using the border die from the Sizzix - love, birds and hearts set. The butterflies and rose were made using vellum and Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and Cherry Lyn Designs mimi butterflies. To finish off I added a blue bow and several gold metal stars. The inside of the card was created with more of the design paper I made, the border die and some more gold stars. To make the cut out design I used the Crafts Too floral flourish die and the section that was cut out was added to the front of the card with a spray of pearls.

I am about to adventure into the life of Retirement and am looking forward to significantly more time in the studio, playing with my Grandkids and traveling now and then with the hubby. I have spent 41 years as an RN - mostly in Critical Care. I picked up painting and more formal art again when my kids went from High School into college. I have always done some form of art, even in the busy years of Career, Mom, Military wife - mostly in the crafty forms(sewing, rubber stamping, its a long list...) Now I mainly paint with encaustic wax. Encaustic is an ancient art form from Greece and Egypt that uses beeswax, natural tree resin and pigments. Encaustic is painted while melted in thin layers and every layer is fused to those below with heat( I mostly use a torch). True to my 'normal' self I have 3 or 4 other hobbies that keep me busy too , and you will be seeing(and have been) those here too.
Just a regular person who seems to have a bit to much to say at times. I do enjoy keeping my hands busy (that generally keeps me out of mischief).
