Home Is Where The Heart Is.


Here is another card I made yesterday, using some of the new LS stamps. I do like the Snail House stamp! I stamped and then masked the Snail House, then stamped the mushroom's so they appeared to be behind the Snail House. I then used one of the Forest Moss stamps under the Snail House. There's a set of two stamps, I used the smaller of the two stamps. I stamped the flowers around the Snail House. In hind sight it would have been a lot easier if I had stamped the flowers while I had the Snail House masked! Hind sight is wonderful, if only it was foresight! Anyway, that's what I did. I then used Mondeluz water colour pencils to colour the Mushrooms and the Snail House. I coloured the Forest Moss with my Clean Colour Real Brush markers.  I added some white Posca pen dots to the mushrooms, and the Forest Moss, as well as the Snail House. I outlined the entire image with a pale grey CCRB marker. The background I used a stencil brush to add some LS Blue Atoll ink pad, and some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink pad. Lastly, (I think!) i stamped the words, which is another new stamp from Lavinia Stamps. Oh, and I carefully splattered on some water drops just to add some texture. Although I had fun creating this card, I was very tired, having just come out of hospital again. I had suddenly become very unwell the night before and needed medical help, and ended up in the local hospital for around eight or nine hours. I was discharged later that day and when I came home I just wanted to create and take my mind off my health issues. I'd had the total of two hours sleep the night before, so I was pretty tired. I find creating cards or whatever, is very absorbing and relaxing. And this is the card I made!
Feeling much better this morning, after getting a full nights sleep! 
Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to a always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and everyday!   
Update four hours later! I forgot to mention, I added a little red enamel heart sticker to the center of the Snail House after I had coloured the Snail House! Have a great day!

  1. I really love these little "scenes" you're creating with the stamps. Hope that you are feeling better soon.
