Hello to all the beautiful people on this Thursday, March 5, 2020.
Let's keep praying for the people in Nashville, Tenn. Some have loss their lives and many have lost their homes due to the tornado this week. Tragedy can strike at any time to anyone.
Experiencing a little change in my craft space today, I pulled out those long forgotten distress inks.
No general idea in mind, I just started inking some water color paper and blending several distress inks to get a look. After inking, I had a die cut on my desk that I used along with more inks.
Take a look at the result I achieved:
This will not go to any particular person. I just wanted to get a little inky. I really did get a little inky because I forgot to put my gloves on to protect my fingers. Here's a little tip to use with inky fingers; I went to my kitchen and put some salt inside my palms along with a few drops of water to make a paste. I rubbed my fingers in the salty paste to remove the ink. Believe me when I tell you, it worked. But...I love gloves. They don't require all that extra work. (lol)
I have some folks that need encouragement. I've verbally talked with them when they have felt "some kind of way". I make cards to give to them after our conversations to remind them that it is not the end and they are not the only people with issues that are not solvable.
Here is a card for my latest person:
"Find Your Courage"
cardstock: Neenah white; Recollections black and pink; Recollections water colored cardstock
embellishments: Little Birdie "Gianna Birds and Berries handmade flowers; 49 and Market Ethereal epoxy gems; Cosmo Cricket tiny text

Try something different that you have not tried in a long time. Make sure it is something that will relax your mind, body and soul. This will refresh you so that you can continue on with encouragement, kindness and love.
Sending you a hug and love,
Lois
