Blimey. That was a marathon of a day and I still have a few things to do before I can relax and put my feet up. š±
It was end of season for #splinterlands. It was end of season for #dcrops. I had shopping that needed to be done because I had a voucher that ran out today. I needed to pack for the trip away this weekend. And . . .
. . . Thursday morning is officially #atticart day when my friend Rosanna (the other half of @miserablegitsintheattic on Instagram š) joins me for a bit of creating.

There was no time to waste so I got stuck in and made a Mothers Day card for my Mum. She lives in Gozo so it needed to be in the post today.
I was inspired by the pink wrapping paper which was lying around after sorting out the tissue paper the other day and I used that as a background.
Fortunately, I'd already made the fabric cluster on Day 5 of The 100 Day Project so I just backed that with the purple tissue paper. Then I hand stamped the message on a strip of cotton from an old tablecloth and decorated an envelope to match the card.
I really like how it turned out. So much so that I decided to ditch the card I made for my daughter's birthday and make her another version of this one. That seemed pretty apt as the wrapping paper backing was paper I saved from a present she wrapped for me last year.
For John's Mum I kept it simple and used a water colour that he had painted ages ago but chucked in the bin because he wasn't happy with it. š Needless to say I removed it and put it in my stash. Perfect for an occasion such as this.
Rosanna wrote the words on some #upcycled brown paper for me since my handwriting is really ugly and I stuck them on. This shows the full painting but it will be folded in half for the card. John's Mum will love it. I'm sure.
So there you have it. Day 12 completed. At least as far as the challenge is concerned. I'm feeling very pleased with how it all went. šŖ
š Thanks everyone for cheering me on.
Your support is very much appreciated. š
