 Hello-

I am deep into a particularly nasty round of the vampire hours, I am only awake from 7pm until 8 am and sleeping or feeling dopey the rest of the clocks round.  

I did manage to spend a bit of time crafting.  This is the new spellbinders anemone die cut in gold foil paper and white. The white bits were colored with Taffy DOs, as well as the cardbase.  I wasn't looking for a smooth even blend, I wanted kind of a cloudy pink behind the blooms.


I am sending it to the gallery of Colorful Options (Pink), Festive Friday (Pink, Flower, and something shiny).

That's a pretty amazing flower die, and beautifully blushed in the soft pink. I'm sorry to hear about the vampire hours. It really disrupts your life.

This is beautiful, Cat! I love the soft, dreamy, girly look of it! I'm sorry you are impersonating a vampire again. Dang. Pretend you are a tulip instead and you NEED the sunshine of daytime to flourish and grow and you NEED the quiet and dark of nightime to sleep and recharge. If it were only that easy, eh? Thank you for the cool VD card with the kitty cat dreaming of love! Great stripes on both card and envie! Big hugs, Darnell💕
