Hello!
I was inspired by an Instagram hop (or blog hop? or both?) for Pride Month that I saw recently.
Here is another card, I used a strip that was left over from the card above.
My hopes for everyone: living your most authentic life, without fear or discrimination, with supportive people around you, and LOVE.
My crafting mojo has been absent for a while. I did crank out 6 cards over the weekend – just playing with stencils I had not used before. It felt wonderful to be inky. Hopefully, the mojo will stick around. Life has been really busy – taking care of parents and trying to get in-laws approved for a better living arrangement.
Thanks for stopping by!

Lots of masking to stamp the cacti and succulents, with a touch of Copic coloring to fill in.
After a month of trying, I was able to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments for both of my parents (in their mid 80’s). We go this week for shot #1, and then again the last week of March for shot #2.
Now I get to figure out the scheduling system in my in-laws home state.

I had this Avery Elle set on my work table (I used a Happy Birthday sentiment stamp), and this card just had to play through.
The cups are paper pieced with Amy Tangerine On A Whim paper.
The background is dry embossed with the cup die (hard to see – I should have used an extra shim!).
