Birthday Bubbles Card | Distress Ink

Do you ever get stuck for ideas to make those basic shape dies go further?
       
Cutting using the negative space left behind is just one way to stretch your supplies.
                            

                 

Don't forget to keep those cut out circles though to use on another project!

Welcome back for my second Christmas Card batch making session.

Watercolour Unicorn | Aqua Markers by Spectrum Noir

Every now and then I like to sit down and draw an original piece. This Unicorn is one such piece.

                            

                 

I used Aqua Markers by Spectrum Noir for this piece, on watercolour card, and finished with white paint marker highlights.

Journaling Dark Moments

Today I would like to share with you a moment of honesty. 
            
I suffer from mental health issues in the shape of depression, anxiety and, at times, suicidal thoughts.
                            

Expressing feelings in a creative way can help make order of the jumbled and distressing thoughts swirling around in your mind in moments of crisis.

               

For the most part I have at least part of my issues under control, with the help of my GP and the charity MIND.
