Afternoon Peeps, definitely the slowest post in the making ever, despite my imac being repaired it's going at snails pace, if anyone is contemplating upgrading to the new Sequoia don't bother, it was absolutely fine before!! Yesterday it took almost two hours to open and commenting is also a problem for whatever reason, I write them but half seem to disappear and for once I don't think it's Bloggers fault.
I've got my Highlight W11 desktop so think I'm gonna have to spend an hour or two moving everything over, although I've already been told it won't be straightforward and might not accept everything because of incompatibility of the two operating systems.
Above my Card Chain Challenge share for this month which went to my blogging challenge pal Carol, and below the card I received from Hilary a beautiful white on white creation. I veered (terrified of) away from that option and went with the sketch using stamps from Lavinia's Sunbloom Collection.
A very quick make using (meagre) snippets for the Playground, it's one of my inspirational samples for AALL and Create using one of Abs new floral stamps called Petal Pop (1249) and Frayed Frames die (26). The flowers and Butterfly stamped a second time on snippets and decoupaged. I would also like to enter this at the new Path of Positivity challenge where the focus on on Faith and Hope, the sentiment if rom my own Believe stamp set, like to supplier in name.
I used pearlescent paint for the flowers and Butterfly which looks rather glary in my photos and being up against time didn't get to take another.
And here is Hilary's lovely card.
Absolutely fabulous card and beautiful stamp-I love it-thank you. Love the floral stamp and beautiful frayed frame die-beautiful all white card from Hilary too.

I just spotted your hummingbird card over on Carol's blog and it's quite lovely with all those tiny bees buzzing about the bird. The floral card is quite pretty as well with great colors and a fun cut border. Wishing you the best of luck with your computer - I'm still trying to figure things out on my end too but not having a whole lot of success yet LOL
