feeling Blue....well the colour....

 I bought a Francoise Reed collection of stamps last year and I am slowly working my way through each one of them....


a sprayed background with prize ribbon oxide...stamped and embossed the image which is called Hanging Hearts, pulled the colour out with water in the hearts and the bird...some white splatter and a few white Nuvo drops.....

its been so windy here the last two days we have been saving crashed over pots and trying to keep the garden clear of all the rubbish being blown in ...still watching the tennis the last day for a couple of weeks so making the most of it.....

I hope you are all safe and well, thanks for popping by today.
