Prim and Proper...

Hi there.  I actually made it into my craft space yesterday, though it felt a little strange.  Everything seems so different now, rather like a time warp, and will definitely take more getting used to.  I thought a vintage card would be quite appropriate, so I've played with this lovely Burlesque image from Just Inklined.  I've used a fancy pre-cut card blank from Classy Crafts, stamping it with a background stamp and then inking it up with two colours of DI.  Once again I've coloured with copics, and this time I even managed to add some pretty flowers for embellishment.

Thanks for visiting, and for all your kind comments.

Now for

  18. Your work is truly beautiful Joyce, as is your courage. I'm glad your name was chosen to win my stamp on my blog! I think it was meant to be - after reading a few of your posts, it is a bit of joy coming your way! Think of it as a hug from me to you. Contact me with your mailing address and I'll get your stamp sent out to you as soon as I can. God bless you!
