The Key to Change

Hello everyone,  I hope you are doing well.   Spring arrived here for about 5 days and now we are into hot Summer weather.   Southern Ontario's extreme weather, you 'gotta love it'.    It's actually too warm this afternoon to work outside as my blood is still thick from the very cold winter.

I'm concerned about some of our shrubs, they suffered with the extreme cold & ice and are struggling to 'come back'.   I'm giving them time to come to life,  as there are some leaves just not all over like they should be.

I'm still very busy and struggle to keep up but eventually life will calm down again.     I apologize that I've been slow visiting blogs.   I'm also not finding enough time for crafting.   There is a wonderful challenge blog that I like to participate in called  Art Journal Journey.  I love May's theme which is "circles".  I've started a page but May will be over before I get it finished it seems.

I have a card to show today that I created a little while ago using Design by Ryn stamps.   I like this quote, it's so true.  This is big a change from my greens, blues and yellows :).

I used red & orange Dylusions Inks in the background.   I stamped Ryn's Sea Bubbles with red and purple inks.   I also used bubble wrap with white acrylic paints for texture.  Next I splattered black Dylusions inks over the background.

The Spiral Shells were embossed with black, coloured with Dylusions Inks, and cut out to adhere to the background.    The quote is from Impression Obsession:  C13072 Key to Change.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
Shirley
