Happy Days and Sad Days

Its been quite a week really been to the hospital with "The Diamond" (XOXO) for a couple of days, we went full of hope, but unfortunately it was not to be, hence the sad day and realisation we have to learn to live with disability of a once very active person. HOWEVER the Happy Days return once you start to count blessings instead, we certainly have plenty and fortunately we are both very resilient. :-) So I turned my attention to some crafting and make the most of time off work. Luckily the JFF challenge is Thursday just perfect for me this week. And the challenge this week is from Von she set "Stars" now I find shapes quite difficult for some reason but today the creative juices flowed maybe it is because you should "Reach for the Stars" (the name of my piece) while you can. I inked a tag shape with DI bundled sage and Victorian velvet, I then ran it through the big shot with a star embossing folder and rubbed worn lipstick over the raised stars. I had the perfect vintage download picture which I machine sewed to silk fabric and lace along the bottom punched out larger stars and added embellishments the whole tag has also been glitter varnished but it does not show in the photo. Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by. XX
