(maybe it's the Slow Stitching - See post below!)
and although have spent a lot of time just sitting at the craft desk shuffling bits of stuff round with no end product (depressing enough as it is without failing to conjure anything up) .
I have still paid sporadic visits to blogs over the last several months as pretty makes give me a little lift even if it's only for a short time and this last week something caught my eye on Pat's lovely blog.
It's been a long time since I made a card for anything other than my TIOT DT duties -
but in a couple of hours of no brain fuzz I tried the Faux Cyanotype I had seen done by Pat and the Group of 7 Cardmakers.
(Hello Lolly and friends xxx - it's been a forever long time 💕)
I found picking up an ink blending brush was also something that I didn't need to get myself in a state about which perked me up even more. (Whether it lasts will be a different thing)
The stamps are by Inkylicious and they were used a lot in the past - placing of the hummingbird not quite right as I really wanted it to be nearer the flower but hey ho - at least I made something just for makings sake.
I did though have to stamp the image many times with the white ink - thank God for Misti is what I say.
I lightly inked the edges of the frame and the card itself with the same Blueprint Sketch DOX.
Having been brave enough to push the dark cloud aside I have linked this up to the Group's blog. x
