I've been struggling with my mojo again - happening more and more often lately. I guess you could say I'm getting used to it. The one good thing about having no mojo? It gives me plenty of time to check out blogs and videos, and eventually something inspires me and gets the juices flowing again. This time it was videos from Shari Carroll. I love when she uses blues and browns in her designs, so I grabbed my Distress Stains and used them on the new, Hero Arts, Leafy Vines stamp.
I've been gearing up for Valentine's Day at work. Getting all my orders in, checking and re-checking to make sure I'm ready for the big day! I am honestly not looking forward to all the work involved with cutting each bouquet that comes in (it's hundreds!) It took us eight hours last year to do all that cutting. Once that part of it is finished though, it is such a relief! I'm hoping to take a couple of photos to share with you again.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for the visit! :)

Lovely card, hose colors work well together, and I love your twine and bling bit.
This is GORGEOUS, Barb!! So glad you got some inspiration.

Great use of your distress inks Barb the effect is beautiful.
Oh, Barb, this is stunning! I love how Shari's work inspired you! I adore the inking with the Leafy vine and the use of twines is fabulous! Hope you get more mojo going to cope with the Valentine's Day work load! xoxo
This is a GORGEOUS card, Barb! I hear ya about 'Mojo', but I think Shari would be very proud to see your take on her style! I'll bet it's even prettier in real life...I love it!
I'm looking forward to seeing the photos of the bouquets you create at work, too...sounds great!
Beautiful watercoloring Bab!
Hello Barb,
Your choice of stamp with the watercolour effect not only relates a warmth to the onlooker, but creates wonderful movement as well, adding the twine element enhances this feeling to the onlooker. A gorgeous one layer card.
