Eleven Babies, and Some Crafting!

The photo above is of "Daisy" and her eleven babies!  They arrived here early in the morning a couple of days ago.  I heard a lot of quacking and some chirping, so I had a look out the window and saw these!  "Daisy" is one of two ducks that have been coming each day, all year,  to be fed.  Once in the morning and again late afternoon.  This day she bought her babies to show me! OMG they are so darn cute!  The babies walk all over my feet, much to "Daisy's" concern!  They have a shallow dish of water the babies can drink form or swim in, and I give them food as well. So cute!
Above is something I made yesterday.  It has lot's of texture that isn't showing in this photo.  It measures about 10 inches by eight. I lay down a stencil onto some card, then spread Texture Paste over the stencil.  Once I lifted the stencil I dried it with my heat gun.  Once it was dry I sprayed various coloured LS Mica sprays onto it, adding some sprays of water to mix the colours.  I also added a sprinkle of gold mica powder to give it extra sparkle.  I then dried it with my heat gun.  I died cut the word "Love" and attached it using some sponge tape, and attached it to the card.  It looks so much better in real life.  The butterfly was cut an embossed using a Tim Holtz cut and emboss folder.  It cuts and embosses at the same time.  I added some ultra thick clear embossing enamel to it so it is very shiny. Not a lot of crafting today as I am still having some issues with my right arm being weak.  While I carry on with my life mostly as normal, there are times when my arm is not the best, and I need to limit what I do.  And things take longer than usual because of not being able to use that arm as I normally would.
Ok, thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day!  Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
