And the day came...

I love this quote by Anais Nin... "And the day came where the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Pretty, eh? I received it with my Verve order just before Christmas, but like everyone else, I was still working with Christmas images trying to get those cards done.

The (Whipper Snapper) image of the sunflower, together with the little girl are both part of one stamp called "My Favorite Flower" (illustrated by Anna Wight). I had coloured it with Copics and then just cut it out to go with my design.

Have to say... I've such a great day making cards today. Had today off work and really took advantage of my free time in the craft room. No pressure... no "deadline" cards that have to be done for anything... just me listening music, taking my time and getting inky.

But it's back to work tomorrow..........!!
