Unfortunately card making hasn't been on the list of priorities lately & I miss it! I've had to put a lot of focus into dealing with my back issues so I could finally come off medication.
I made this card for my 96 year old mum & had to take a quick shot with my phone as I was lucky to get it into the post in time last week.
This is probably the most colouring I've done for a while & was done over about 4 sessions. I've invested in a desk top easel which allows me to sit on the lounge with it propped on cushions so I can colour to my hearts content without affecting my back. It's a bit strange learning to colour on a semi vertical angle but I think it turned out ok.
I used WPlus9 Beautiful Bouquets Dahlias white embossed on Fabriano Bristol paper & coloured with Zigs. The Mothers day was die cut using my Silhouette & although it looks dark purple in the photo it was actually more the colour of the purple flowers on the card.
I am entering this into Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #407
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.
This is beautiful Rose! Your coloring looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you could work around the sore back and make a plan to create & colour without pain!
You think your card turned out 'okay'? Oh my goodness, Rose! Your card is absolutely gorgeous! The colours, the colouring, the design...swoon-inducing! This warrants framing and displaying! I'm glad you found a way to craft that keeps your back issues somewhat at bay. Hmmm...maybe my water-colouring would improve if I tried a vertical incline *grin* Sending hugs that you continue to mend!
