Dance with Joy

Hello and thank you for stopping by. I hope you are doing ok, it looks as if the virus numbers and sad deaths may be starting to come down which is very good news! More and more of those of us who are vulnerable are being vaccinated, which is all very good news. So maybe just  maybe there is a little light at the end of this very dark long tunnel.

I have made yet another card using this lovely pink ink designs fairy Stamp. This time I drew a little dancing Teddy bear in her hand. I stamped and coloured some flowers, and leaves and fussy cut them to add around the edge of the picture. Pink Ink had a Facebook challenge to use lead pencil to colour your stamped images, I enjoyed giving this a try, and went on to create several more cards in the same vein.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Old pastels

Last year my sister found my old wooden box of pastels in the attic. They are well over 30 years old. Today I tried them out to see if they are still ok....and they are! More then 3 decades later and they are still perfect, amazing!

When I picked them up I reflected on how very much my life has changed since the last time I used them.

I am getting used to the feel of them again, and started on a portrait, I'm not very good but I will persevere.
