Hello friends! This mixed media card pretty much sums up my creative process in how it came together and quite frankly just how life in general is right now. I was having a play with new to me Folk Flowers Thinlits die and created a panel by using just the inserts (waste) on a piece of medium weight card stock. This was just an experiment, and I didn't use my 'good' cardstock, but I had so much time invested in gluing all those little bits, I felt I needed to use it. Everything else on the card are literally leftovers I had sitting on my worktop except for the Transparent Wings. It can be so much fun to create with just what you have in front of you. You can see another card I made with this die, and some of the bits used here were left over from that play.
My lady was fussy cut from one of the Group Paper Dolls; her 'better half' was used on this tag. I colored her shoes with Crackling Campfire Embossing Glaze and an Embossing Pen. Love those red shoes. Here's a bit of red shoe trivia--our southern town has old local ordinance which states it is unlawful to walk down a certain street in red shoes!
That's it for me today! I see we have a hurricane warning (joy, joy!), so I better get this posted before the inevitable loss of power.
I would like to share this in the Snarky, Sassy, and Silly Summer Fun challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge Blog and the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday We Can See Clearly. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs! Sara Emily

ReplyDeleteSara I absolutely love everything about this, from the yummy texture of the background, to the quote, to the wings!!!! I definitely wouldn't have the patience to glue all those tiny bits, but it looks amazing! Ps. Thanks for joining my challenge on tfjd !

Such a fabulous card! Wow, what an amazing background you created with the die - I bet that took some time to create 😀. Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteFantastic Sara Emily! I love the sentiment and that is exactly how it feels a lot of the time! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic to have you playing along with us again Sara Emily! I adore that subtle background and the way you've picked out little bits in yellow. And the rub ons distressing is such a clever idea, as is putting the glossy accents on her shoes. Thank you for playing along with this challenge and joining us at The Funkie Junkie Boutique x
