Hello everyone. I took a longer break than expected. I originally was just going to take time off blogging for the holidays, but my father died just before Christmas. We did travel to attend the burial, which was very small and not a normal funeral at all, due to covid restrictions. We, of course, also quarantined after travel.
Between the work for those arrangements, and then virtual school mandates after the holidays, troubles with house repairs, it was just too much to also do blogging. I was able to do some scrapbooking, but I have much more to do.
My online cardmaking group does monthly zoom meetings, and this card is one that we did together.
The card panel was alcohol inks, using some hand sanitizer to blend, then after it dries, I embossed it. I do not know the name of the card fold, but it was pretty easy and I really enjoyed making this card and the result. The fern stamp is one of my oldest wood block stamps.
I do look forward to checking everyone’s blogs. I hope everyone didn’t forget about me. I hope to have a better crafting routing going forward.
Hope you are very well.
