I think our visit yesterday to Clarity Cumbria may well have had a pivotal role in the recovery of normality! We had a lovely day - playing with some fabulous stamps. Here's what I made.
I really like this one - it was a good start to the day!
This one involved a bokeh technique which I struggled with .... but I quite like the look on this picture!
I went a bit freestyle on this one but I do like the result!
my final picture is a bit odd - not sure where that shadow comes from! Nevermind - you get the idea! This one showed me how tired I was - my sun slipped in front of my mountains so I added my sticker to cover the error!!!
It was a lovely day and lovely to see just how busy the class has become over the years. No wonder as Jo Rice is such a superstar!!!

ReplyDeleteWow,Rachel, you sure were a busy girl! All of your makes are fabulous, but my favorite is the bird with the rainbow background! All so gorgeous, and such a pleasure to see you're back! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the jetlag is a killer. I had my worst ever when I went to China - and that's only half as far!! Glad to hear you're on the way back to sanity.
ReplyDeleteLove these cards - the stag is magnificent, and I really like the bokeh around the bird - I think you've caught the bubbles of light really beautifully. And the technique on the second bird is very cool too.
