Trying to get my mojo back after my Mom passed away
has been extremely difficult for me.
That being said, Dar from Dar's Crafty Creations
has challenged me to a challenge to maybe 'prod' me into creating.
She also let me pick the challenge.
So in scrolling through Paper Playful,
I came across the challenge at Tuesday Throwdown
which is a 'recipe' challenge.
The recipe is to use two embossing folders, an image and a sentiment.
For my card I used a fun little stamp that was one of those $1 ones
you see in the craft stores (sentiment is part of it too)
and by using my Tim Holtz stamp platform and Dew Drop ink
Nautical Blue, I was able to get a nice clean image for my card.
My two embossing folders are both
edge folders, one is Sizzix Lace Handkerchief and the other
a flower edge.
For a little bit of bling I added 3 blue pearls.
Now make sure and visit Dar's blog to see her fun~fun creation.
Let's hope this will get me motivated,
this is the first I have been on my computer and in my craft room in weeks!

Diane, you came back with an absolutely fabulous creation! OMG, how I love those birds! $1? I'd be all over that stamp. Too bad we don't have craft stores here, sigh... Love your choice of embossing folders and colors for this. Like I told Darlene, she's a good friend. Hugs!
Well, you go girl! That recipe sure panned out for you into a wonderful card design. It is beautiful!
Beautiful card Diane, I love the colour palette and the sweet image.
It always takes time to come to terms when a beloved parent passes, but there is no rush and on grieving, take it a day at a time, hugs Kate x
