Good afternoon, hope everyone is safe from the floods and general chaos. I'm still finding it hard to believe that some of the images I've seen on TV are real and happening in the UK! The devastation is just incredible and I feel so sorry for those unfortunate enough to be affected by it. Although I'm lucky enough to live somewhere unaffected by the awful weather, apart from the odd huge sinkhole appearing in the motorway!, it's been too wet to venture outside much today! I tried to go for a walk with my sister, but we gave up and came home to get warm, which left me time to play! I've made (a lot) of mess with inks and stamps creating this little scene. I used various colours of blue and pink distress inks, masking with torn paper to make the background. The stamps are all Lavinia. The 'hopes and dreams' wording is die cut from vellum and stuck on. I was trying to achieve a soft dreamy effect, so I used some black tulle under and around the edges of the main image. The stick pins are home made and I finished by adding a random scattering of pearls around the edges. Thanks for looking!
Keep dry!
Chris
