Am home now for a couple of weeks - an odd day where I am needed here and there but am hoping to get back into a proper routine as the winter approaches!
I did a quick stock take of my stash and found that I was quite low on a couple of different themes - New Homes, Thank You and Condolences/Sympathy. I intend to out that right over the next week or so (then I suppose I should make attempts at Christmas??)
I had inked this background panel (without the black bottom) some time ago for a 'fairy' card but it just got left!
The poppy stamp was the result of a little Inkylicious spendie some months ago and never inked.
Once I'd stamped it, I didn't like the bottom stems just lying there on top of a salmony pink sky so used some Black Soot DI and made the bottom black.
The sentiment stamp I think was a freebie.
Matted onto black card before layering onto a white base and done.
I made a few sympathy cards yesterday and will share as we go along. They are the kind we hope we never have to send but inevitably there are occasions when we need them.
I hope you are all happy in your own part of blogland - am taking dear husband to the dentist but once back this afternoon I will come and visit for a catch up! x

I think it's very fitting for purpose with the pretty Inkylicios Poppy. Here's hoping we all turn up tonight and that Roberto's eye is healed enough for him to be included.

This is a beautiful card Viv and your bending is superb. I'm hoping to have some Inkylicious spending at Stamp Magic ;) x
Beautiful card Viv...love that inky background with the silhouette stamp over the top...my sort of card. ...and very suitable for those sympathy cards. xx
This is a Beautiful card. I need to make one as just heard yesterday that my cousin's husband has died from a brain tumour. He was only in his early sixties and planning on retiring shortly. Life just does not seem fair sometimes. Hugs Mrs A.

Such a delicate card for the sad occasion. Gorgeous blending and the pop of black is perfect x.
Your sky is AMAZING, Viv! So soft and delicately coloured. The poppy silhouette adds a wonderful contrast. Glad to hear you have a couple of weeks at home and some time to craft! xx
Beautiful as always Viv.
