After 2-3 weeks of being sick as a dog... I'm finally feeling well. It's a wonderful feeling!!! And... even though I had to get up at 5 am & work all day, I still am almost giddy because I can move & breathe & eat... and stay awake for more than a couple of hours. I know I take my normally healthy state for granted most of the time. Being sickly is a great reminder to count your blessings. :)
And so... I finally felt like being crafty again. (A lot of my previous posts were done pre-sickness and I just posted them later.) I inked up this cute little sweetie pie named 'Dahlia' from The Greeting Farm's Wild Sprout line and made a couple of cards with the same supplies.
This first card is for the Weekend Sketch Challenge by Cambria. I used patterned paper from Crate Paper's Lillian Collection along with some 'Fabulous Glossy Vintage' paper by Chatterbox. And yes. It really is fabulous! I wish you could see it in real life. Mmmmm!!! :)
And... here's the same sweet Dahlia using a sketch for Mojo Monday by Julee Tilman. I used more of the Lillian Collection & another print from the Fabulous line... and distressed it all to give it a more 'country' look. I also added a few Kaiser pearls here and there (LOVE these things!).
Well... it's almost 11 pm & it's been a long day! I think I'm going to call it a night. Thanks for coming to visit my blog! I really appreciate you guys!!!
these little girls are sooooo cute, and I am so glad your feeling better.

ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling so much better. I have a quick question for you. How in the world did you color "Dahlia's" hair to look like that? The highlights look so natural. Maybe we need a tutorial.*hint,hint*
