I'm slowly finding my supplies since moving although it is taking me longer to find them since they won't be in the same familiar places. I find myself moving in a direction based on where I used to keep them. I'm making progress though and learning patience. I'm so happy to be doing a TLC again, as I've missed the past month's worth.
I found my box of vellum and metallic paper scraps and pulled out an old old old piece of embossed vellum, which you see in the background, stapled on because I couldn't decide what adhesive to use. I used the same vellum for the leaves, using bottled ai, a blending tool (like we would have used for polished stone), alcohol and blending solution. Quite a few layers of alcohol ink are on those leaves.
I'm also submitting this for yesterday's FS: Easter Blessings by misscindy at Splitcoaststampers
Similar colors and layout, different direction entirely. Enjoy your week, Cindy!!! Thanks for the challenges! I'm happy to be back, more or less.

It's great to see you back in the Galleries and you restarted with a bang -- gorgeous card. Love the colors and swirls of the AI on the leaves and they look fabulous against that lovely vintage velum. The view out that window looks pretty nice too. Hope all the new pieces in your new home fall into place for you soon. I know what you mean about heading to where something "was" instead of where it "is" now. I'm sure it will all become routine soon though. Yay! for your card and Yay! for your return. Hugs.
