Welcome March

 Good morning friends and welcome to March.
Another step nearer to Spring and hopefully brighter days.

I won't dwell on my health issues but suffice to say that the injection didn't work for me. Instead I have a few cards to share made up from my bits


Things I painted awhile ago and didn't quite know what to do with


Sometimes just watching paint blend is so relaxing

and adding a stamped embossed image can transform it 

I'm not one for using DP  much, though I do still love it but i mostly use it to make custom envelopes. However, my final card uses DP and a partial die cut deer that I had left over from something


The papers are called Forest Tales by the Paper tree and they are really lovely. I fussy cut the little guy with the flower from one of the other papers


That's it for now... Thank you again for your warm wishes 

Till next time, be well

~ Ros ~

You certainly found something beautiful to do with your paintings -- from a colorful and lovely spring garden to a sweet and gentle forest scene. You created amazing depth and mood on your dandelion card. Ros, I'm sorry the shot didn't work for you. I wonder what's next? Please keep us posted. I'm sending hugs for now.

If these beautiful cards are any indication of how you are bearing up, you wouldn't know those injections haven't worked, Ros.
All three so very lovely - shall I say my favorite? Your dreamy middle one! We make wishes on those little seeds here - so I'll give my wish to you for some relief!

Beautiful sweet cards, Ros!! Lovely designs and paintings! Each one so unique and beautiful! The last one with the darling deer made me smile, so sweet! So sorry to hear that the injection did not work. I do hope and pray that things improve for you. I am happy to see that you do get great pleasure using your amazing talent to make fabulous creations! Hopefully the distraction of creating helps some. Take care, hugs!!

Three beautiful creative cards using saved pieces from your stash, Ros. I loved your techniques, framing, watercoloring and more:-) So sorry your injections did not work. At least being creative takes your mind off your medical issues..even for a short time. Thank you so much for sharing, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Hello dear friend ... I'll continue to pray for more healthy days for you! Your cards are all just AMAZING. LOVE your designs ... so crisp & clean and OMG that little scene with the deer is just PRECIOUS! What a clever and beautiful idea! Thanks for sweet inspiration ... you are amazing! HUGS from still cold Ohio. COME ON SPRINGTIME! LOL

I'm sorry to hear that the injection didn't work. That's so disappointing. But your cards don't reflect that at all! Love the pop of red and green in the first card! I love watching the colors flow with water too and it made a beautiful background for your dandelion! The forest creatures are adorable and the paper makes a lovely background for them! All are fantastic layouts! Great layering with the white on white.

I'm sorry your injections didn't work, but your cards are as gorgeous as ever, Ros! Your coloring is beautiful and the die-cut maple leaf is so pretty (first card). The shades of green paint of the second card are amazing and the white heat-embossed image pops (second card). Love how you used the DP for the third card. Simply adorable forest scene! Your framing is so creative too!

These little works of art are just wonderful, Ros! You not only paint beautifully, you have a delicate and expert eye for composition, too!

I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get any relief from the injection. Please do let us know when you will be having surgery so we can lift you up with thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Darnell

What a great collection of cards, Ros and they all use such great framing. My favourite this time is the middle card. Simply stunning with the blended background and shadowed dandelion heads. So very striking!
Sorry to hear that the injection didn't work and hope you get some relief soon.
Hope you are well,
Hugs

Three beautiful cards, when things aren’t going so well a retreat to the craft room can work wonders xx

Pat said...

What wonderful designs Ros using your gorgeous artwork and some cleverly added die cuts to finish them beautifully..I love the sweet dp on the last too. I'm so sad to hear the injection didn't help and hope that you will not have to wait too long for your surgery. x

Greta said...

So sorry the injection didn't work, Ros. On a happy note--your cards are just gorgeous! Love your paintings & the card with that beautiful paper! Sending hugs, Greta

Barbara said...

Such lovely cards, especially the last one - soooo adorable! And it's good to see you so things like crafting and blogging, keep it up, it lifts the spirits!

Loll said...

Sorry to hear the injection didn't help with your pain. Sending a soft, squishy hug your way.

LOVE your paints ... they are always so fresh, uplifting and sweet. I like how you framed your art in a circle and added that sweet leaf. Your emboss resist card is so beautiful. And I love the framing you did to make it even more special. How watercolours flow is always a treat to watch. :) And your final card is just the sweetest with these critters hanging out together in the woods. I love how the deer are just peeking around the frame. Great work, my friend! xx
