Dance Away

I bet we all wish we could dance away in these strange times!  Although skipping into the craft room is almost as good, unless you decide to tidy - but the good side of that is you find 'things'.  I'd started to sort the bits box and at the bottom were quite a few bits of card that had been embossed when finishing off the last pot of paste before opening a new one.
Looking through my stamps thought this AALL&Create poppy fit nicely, soI stamped and clear embossed before using Spun Sugar and Milled Lavender/Shaded Lilac on the background.  The poppy heads were stamped and fussy cut after colouring with Picked Raspberry Distress crayon,  the sentiment is Tim Holtz.

As you can guess, they 'tidy' didn't get very far - but there's always another day, in fact I think there
may be 'lots' of other days.

I'm a bit forgetful about entering challenges, something I need to remember, so I am entering this at
  Stamping Sensations -  Spring Florals
  Penny Black & More - Spring Flowers
  Craftlandia - Pink and/Blue

Stay safe and keep crafting.

    Ooh Available, how pretty is this, the background is so soft and delicate and you know Puppies are always a favourite with me.

    I had a real treat this evening, a text message telling me to check the table in the courtyard, my Son in law had left a punnet of strawberries for me, so often in 'normal times' he sees me buying them.

    It's always good when we find those little gems hidden in our craft rooms and this one is a beauty. Love the poppy stamp ..... looks fab on that pretty background.
    I decided to move the desks around in my craft room .... to make way for more storage. I'm still at it ...... how do we get so much stuff!!!!
    Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and stay safe xx

    I love the stamped image its so pretty and the background is gorgeous Avril.
    I often wonder if anyone ever really finishes the tidy up with a craft room, I always get distracted, like when I am cleaning its deadly to pick up a box of old photo's or the like, haha. Well it passes the time on, hope your keeping well, stay safe.xx

    Its good to discover things in the craft room especially when they can be used again. I think about the tidy up process then change my mind. As you mentioned there are going to be a lot of days like these ones.
    Its a fabulous card and a super sentiment and the stamp looks so pretty.
    Stay safe and well.

    I've decided that I'm at my most creative when my craft room is a total mess, so I'm just leaving as it is for now! Your card is really beautiful Avril and the colours, so delicate, I love everything about it! Thank you for joining us in our 'Spring Florals' challenge at Stamping Sensations and good luck.

    That subtle background blending of colour is lighter than air and so pretty as are your delicate flower stems. Lovely. Never mind on the tidying - creating is much more fun!

    Hi Avril! A lovely make here and how useful it was to find that background already done for you! Your beautiful poppies against that soft background are super. I do hope you are keeping safe and well at this very strange time. Sending my love to you and many thanks for joining us at Penny Black and More Challenges xxxx
