Finally have some space to work in

Well the craft room is still a work in progress but I now have room to do a bit of stamping again and, motivated by Freshly Made Sketches 152 and my new Stampin Up goodies, I felt my long lost mojo tugging at me.  At last!

Kim Singdahlsen has joined the Clean Team as a regular, I do love her cards, and the one she has up for inspiration this challenge got me thinking, which of course led to some inking.....and this was the result.


I used Wisteria Wonder and Vanilla card stocks with Wisteria Wonder and Hello Honey inks (a lot of sponging going on there) along with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.  It's hard to see in the photo but the tiniest pearl size in the Stampin Up packet is perfect to dot the i in kindness.

I got a little carried away with the sponging so I'm not sure this will be "clean" enough but the most important thing for me is I'm back at my desk and stamping again....and I've missed it!

Photography is getting a little better, thank you to everyone who posted and emailed me so many helpful tips.  I know I should have waited for daylight (it looks a little more "delicate" in daylight) but I'll miss the cut off on the challenge by the time I get in from work tomorrow.  Daylight light bulbs are going on the shopping list.

  9. Love your pretty card Rachel and the sentiment is lovely. I really like how you stacked your butterflies and the dotty border really sets them off. Hope the Mojo sticks around - pesky things aren't they?
