Thoughts

When there are long lonely hours ... when thoughts creep in univited, unwelcome ... I turn to my crafting ...

Today marks the start of another challenge over at the Play Date Cafe and the colours are so earthy, they so fit my mood .... 

There is such an simple elegance about these colours and that is reflected in the picture I think ....



This is my interpretation ..... I'm not sure that the embossing on the black card shows up too well .... hard to photograph especially with the rain still clouding the skies ......


At least the sparkle from the 'stickles' is visible on this image "wisps" from Pink Petticoat ... background paper is Vinnie Pearce "Art Corners" ......

Till soon

Ros

LOVELY card! I'm glad you pointed out the embossing because it is such a FAB detail! I embossed on white and you can barely see it in MY pic. LOVE the stickles. Overall Wonderful!
