I’m not gonna lie, this card did not come easy. Or more accurately yet, the decision to sit down to it had to be partly forced, otherwise I’d surely dwell in a non-crafty hiatus for a couple more days.
The last week was so off the routine, I found myself thrown off and in a slightly nervous haze. Mum & dad first, then both excitement and a bit of anxiety while counting the days (hours?) for the bubs to come (still waiting!!), and now also Chuplet’s unexpectedly sudden, viral sickness that keeps us on our toes. Admittedly not the best inspiration for crafting…
However, you would know me well enough to suspect, that I’m not going to let it interfere with the idea of being actively crafty, too easily. Even a smallish effort, while done often enough, prevents stagnation that may steal mojo for weeks on end. Well, that’s my personal belief anyway, that I stick to it in my comfortably mad ways 🙂
So, what I did it is put on a good documentary on Youtube, find a piece of inspiration to have a starting point (Monday Mood Board #11, graphics below), and let my hands play while my mind wanders 🙂
What I love about this card, is that although it has a scrappy feel, there’s an adequate amount of stamping too, and both of these elements blend nicely. I used a whopping 6 WPlus9 stamp sets, plus one from The Craft’s Meow. Yeppers!
I went out on a limb with the wee addition of red, I guess I just can’t force myself into a completely neutral card after all… that pop of colour adds so much to the design 🙂
See you later, peeps 🙂
