Few words are needed............
Yes I know I'm a lucky girl.
My card today is actually a tag which I felt inspired to make on Sunday. It was a chilly but beautiful spring day and I had just returned from a sunny walk. I do feel very blessed. Our lives are so full of hopes and dreams which we strive for. However life is never easy and there are constant changes and challenges. Sometimes to achieve this we do need to push ourselves into uncharted waters. I wanted to make an inspirational tag and looked through my Lili of the Valley Pretty Vintage quotes stamps.
I chose this one
and made this tag
Just to celebrate life ;0)
I had such fun making up the background using distress ink and a TH clock stencil. I die cut 2 Cheery Lynn seahorses (I was feeling in a summery mood ;0) out of book pages and Distress Inked them. I love the way the one at the bottom almost looks camouflaged. I also had a chance to ink up mu Designs by Ryn rising bubbles stamp and stamped it in both DIs as a shadow and then again in blue archival ink. I added a few words .....just hopes and dreams.
Here are some close ups
and one last view showing the ribbons I have attached.

Hi Jane, I had to catch up on all your posts while i was away from my computer. You have been having a lovely time, that fair looked amazing. I love all your purchases. Daisy will be so adorable in that matching sundress, bonnet and bag. (if she could be any cuter or sweeter) Really love your tag, love the inspiration and very helpful to remember. Happy Spring to you in the UK!

I love the little outfit and the cute matching bag :) I remember buying handmade clothes for my daughter when she was little was so much fun and the clothes are so unique, quite a few of hers were reversible and I kept my favourites, now squirreled away in a suitcase in the wardrobe with the bridesmaid dress and page boy outfits, its amazing how quick time goes.
