With all the changes to life brought on by the Covid 19 pandemic and then everyone in my household getting ill, the last couple of weeks have been a bit of a blur. We are still unsure whether we had "the" virus, or just another one that was doing the rounds at the time. It certainly left my husband and I feeling exhausted, however we are very much recovered and enjoying sunny weather, and very grateful for where we live.
The children are officially on school holidays so not so much urgency to encourage them to do school work that has been set by teachers. Easter celebrations have crept up on me as the usual reminders of seeing Eater decor in shops, lambs skipping in fields and roadsides lined with daffodils have not been there due to being quarantined.
However, last night I took a moment (about an hour) to make this Home Decor piece that is now on my mantle-piece.
It is full of the symbolism of the Biblical account of Easter, including blue flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots, small red hearts to remind us of the love of Christ as he bled and touches of gold and purple hinting at his kingship.

I've just realised this is my first post of 2020! I was ill just before Christmas, and I feel like I'm still playing catch up, my Christmas tree is still up as I wanted to enjoy it for a little longer.

not just yet though as I want to show you a card I made for my husband's birthday... a little while back, while I was making it I made a couple of others. I find it easier to make a few cards when I have certain supplies out.
It was created using a combination of stamps and ink blending techniques.
I'm discovering masking images can be so effective in defining images. It was easy to stamp the lighthouse on to a sticky note then cut it out. TOP TIP cut just inside the outer line.

Here are the other 2 cards using the same supplies

I may have had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while.
As you know I love florals, and I also have a love of typography, so in this project I managed to combine both.
If you don't own a large letter stamp set, you can create similar effects with a Word Processing Program, enlarge some letter really really big, and print them onto Stampin' Up! card stock. For the best results allow the ink to dry, and maybe even waft a heat tool over it to set the ink.
Enjoy the video tutorial.

I made this card to give to a couple who were celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. I remembered that they had sunflowers in their floral arrangements and thought it would be nice to incorporate that into the card. The Painted Harvest stamp set was just perfect for this. I wanted lots of layers so used various die cuts to do this.
