Was astounded to see it is almost a week since my last post - it's not as if I have been mad busy although I have done some jobs outside for a couple of hours a day whilst the weather has been reasonable.
My share for today is one from a Tim Holtz stamp set that was released a few years back. I wanted it but it was way down the always expanding wish list - I saw it on sale last week so just bought it. The wish list does not seem to get any smaller - EVER.😞 (And two more sets have now taken the place of this one!)
I have done a couple of cards with the set mostly inspired by Pinterest as Mojo😩 has been at a premium.
I have no idea if this stamp depicts a violin player or not - but it looked like it to me! So a music themed make seemed appropriate.
Made a mask of the stamp and then smooshed the background (Antique Linen), overstamped with a music stamp in sepia tones and some foliage in grey.
Watercoloured the image and then began the search for a sentiment!
Eventually I remembered this NBUS one from Bee Crafty which I think fitted.
We currently have a lovely day here - it's cold but bright and dry. Popped to a nearby town earlier to go to the bank for M-I-L. Sad to see our fave coffee and cake places currently shut -feel for the lovely staff and of course the owners. Town was really quiet so it was just a pleasant short stroll for me up and down the High Street!
Thanks for looking today - stay safe. x

A very beautiful card, Viv! Love your background and the sentiment is perfect! my wish list fluctuates a little with some stamps coming off it and some more added to it, but on the whole it keeps growing too, lol
great colour combo with the red dress and old paper background and love the subtle stamping on the background.
We all have those lists that get longer and longer even though we keep buying so much off it :)

Wonderful card, Viv with all the layers -- and I definitely see your violin player! Congrats on getting out, even if it's for a short stroll
It's amazing how fast the days go even though we aren't doing as much - I put it down to the short days... Fabulous card and what an unusual sentiment but I like it!
What a wonderful background for this quirky stamp and the splash of red highlights it beautifully xx
A card with a wow factor. I do love how you designed the background. And the sentiment is spot on.
