Inky indulgence with distress inks and Penny Black stamps
Morning Peeps, how you all doing, well I hope.
I've been a bit absent from blogland the last few days, the body's not really playing the game, been in a lot of pain and not really felt like crafting or blogging so apologies I've not been about. Then I had a fall in the shower after swimming on Monday and that sort of put paid to anything else I had planned.
So this really is a quick post and just a couple of shares.
Using Ruth's Rudbeckia stamp set and inking direct to stamp with distress markers
A few of the beauties on flower in the garden earlier this month - Anysia grew them all from seed
Have a good Thursday everyone.
Gorgeous Butterfly inky goodness! So pretty, love the bright yellow flowers and butterfly in the second!
ReplyDeleteTake care Brenda!
Wow, your first card is a real stunner, Brenda, and those sunflowers look great, too. Hope you'll be feeling a little better again soon!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself - hope pain levels improve. Love both of these but the first is my favourite - that little bird with his sparkly eye is a gem (realized what I'd typed afterwards!!)>
ReplyDeleteTHinking of you
Much love

These are both absolutely stunning Brenda, I especially love the first one as that shade of green is one of my favorite colours and the butterfly is beautiful. Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well and I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly in your fall and that it hasn't shaken your confidence too badly. I will be hoping for better days for you, take care and get plenty of rest
