Expect the unexpected. Life is full of wonderful things just waiting to surprise you.
Hey there,
If you have an urge to organize your craft area on a lazy hot summer day, I say go for it! I've been sorting my stash for a few weeks now, waiting for my eye surgery to heal, and my new HD eyes are spying some surprising abandoned treasures. While sifting through some long forgotten unfinished projects, I found this Julia Spiri gem called Fleur. I'm guessing I probably wasn't happy with something about my coloring...the flashy hair maybe? But you know how that goes...put your unworthy project aside for a while and when you return to it, the flaws don't look quite so glaring.
I thoroughly enjoyed putting together this fun quick card with all my time consuming coloring already accomplished. I created the frame in Cricut Design Space, cut it out on my Maker and attached it to a 5 1/2 inch square z-fold card base. I lined the front panel with a gold leafing pen and attached it to my frame with mounting tape. I found the beautiful pearl studded fabric flower in my stash and added coordinating pearls to the frame I'll attach a sentiment when I choose my recipient. I get so excited when I find unexpected surprises in my happy hub!
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and find a treasure in an unexpected place.
Nancy

She is so beautiful! Love the card you created with her too.
ReplyDeleteI have wondered if the flaws fade over time or my memory lol. But it do agree that something changes if we put coloring aside for a while.
