Paris skyline

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are okay.I'm starting to feel more human again - thank goodness. I'm going to take it easy for a few days yet - just to make sure I'm over it!!! I'm not used to being poorly! Its been a bit of a shock!!!

Today I have a card to share with you I made using a sheena stencil:


I used distress inks - picked raspberry, evergreen bough and old paper to create the background then added the stencil and applied blacksoot distress ink through it.


The central stamp is one from Tim Holtz.

I am going to have to get a wriggle on if I'm going to enter any challenges this month! It used to be a very important thing for me but these days I seem to get around to entering very few - must try harder!!

Have a good Wednesday!

Hugs

  1. Love this one Rachel and especially lovely in the warm pinks, a long while since I used that stencil, need to give it an airing.

    Hope you soon fell back to rights, had the same hence lack of visits so totally understand.

  3. Good morning Rachel,
    I do hope you feel better soon. Take time to get over it, my sister Hazel is struggling, she thought she was over it and did too much. She has had another round of it, not good at all.
    Love the design and colours in your wonderful project.
    Take care
