Keeping it simples

I do like the motto: Keep it simple.  Makes life so much easier, especially in crafting.

Yesterday I was busy with tags,  one was much more involved than the other.  Yet I can't say that one gave me more pleasure than the other. 

The first was purple and I used embossing paste,  for  the second I used golden colours.  Started with the same technique I used on the purple tag,  working different coloured inks into the card,    I used cut 'n dry,  prefer that now to the blender tool,  which I just keep for my alcohol inks. 

So once the tag was done it was then a case of how to decorate it.  I wanted another 'lady',  so went for the Indigo Blu music hall stamp set.  I did consider some embossing, but chose to just stick with the adirondiac espresso.   Topped off with a die cut flower,  and a few bits of trimming.

Here is a closer look at the 'lady',  she's very glam, with her outrageous hat and hair.   Used a bendy peel off round the edge. 

You can't get much simpler than that!  

I think tho I may now try my hand at some box frames,  I've seen them and quite fancy having a go.  It would also be fun to try different ways with the embossing paste,  I am however very impressed that all four jars have lasted this long! 

It has been a very uneventful day today,  just the humdrum stuff.  A different district nurse came to see mum, and decided to change the regime, wish they would make up their minds!   I'm begining to doubt if they actually have any sort of plan for this wound, other than putting a dressing on it.  I am damn sure that medical science has advanced a bit.   I am seriously thinking of suggesting to mum that she tries the holistic route,  well regular medicine has so far failed her.

I have a free reiki session to look forward to tomorrow, I SO will enjoy that!
