{Stamped Easter Home Decor piece}

Hello there,

thanks for stopping by my blog today.

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.

Here are the stamps and colours used 

STAMPS 

Inspiring Iris, Colorful Seasons, Varied Vases, Tropical Chic, Timeless Tulips, Beautiful Bouquet, Swirly Frames. 

INK COLOURS 

Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Seaside Spray, Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Highland Heather.

Thank you card and notebook

Made this card and notebook for a friend using a technique I am completely hooked on!

A Noteworthy note...

A fabulous parcel of goodies for my customers and some more stash for me to play with arrived this week.  I had been wanting to play with the Noteworthy Die, ever since my upline Claire showed it to me.

I made these super super quick little thank you cards using it.  

• I folded the card stock in half before placing it over half the die.  
• Stuck some leftover pieces of Designed Paper (Hostess level 1 pad), stamped a sentiment and added some faux stitching. 
• The little flowers were punched form the Boho Blossom Punch (another item I was eager to get my hands on!) 
• I cupped them with the end of a pencil and inked the edges, added a pearl which seems to just finish them off nicely.
