Quiet on the crafty front?

Well yes, but by no means dead!

I admit not a lot was happening until a sympathy card was required for the loss of a friend's pet.  I felt out of touch so I needed a reliable standby,  An easy yet effective technique so I turned to the acetate/packaging technique.  An oldie, but a goody.  One we usually learn as we start out on our crafty journey, but is often overlooked as we learn more traditional methods of watercolouring.

This friend likes purple so I used several Distress Inks along with some simple die cutting and not much layering.

We still grieve the loss of one of our cats who died several years ago so we know what she was going through.
