*** Celebrations ***

 Hello everyone,

With my head hung low I confess to being a very absent blogger lately. 
So sorry for not being around.
   When life settles down a bit I will be stopping by to view your lovely posts. 

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #553

where I am hosting with the theme of

"Celebrations"

Today I have for you another slimline card.  Folks who receive these seem to like the non-traditional shape and I do enjoy making them.  The dies and floral paper are from Whimsy Stamps, silk ribbon and pearls from my stash.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

CraftyHazelnut's Pattern Papers - June
Everybody-Art-Challenge #515
Through The Craft Room Door - June 7

Thanks for visiting today.

We'd love to have you play along with us.

hugs,

Pat K xx

****Heartfelt***

 Hello everyone,

Today starts a new Challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #547

hosted by our lovely N-Eva

with a theme of "Hand Coloured Image"

I have chosen to colour with copics and pencils a sunflower digital image created by
Poppy Power by Marcella Hawley called "Sunflower Power".   This very thoughtful designer created this image to help the wonderful people of Ukraine.  All proceeds go toward "Sunflowers for Peace".  I purchased the Sunflower Peace set separately and this image was free.

For me like many others Ukraine is never far from my thoughts. 

I did make a bit of a mess when adding the background.  I fussy cut the image on scrap paper and masked onto the flowers.  I think it might be my choice of ink that I'm not pleased with.  Will have to do some research to perfect this technique.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Place to Start Challenge - 032022
Ike's World Challenge #154
Incy Wincy Designs Challenge - Mar 
Through The Craft Room Door - Mar 15

Thanks for visiting today.

Hope you can play along with us..

hugs,
