I never know exactly
what is going to pop up in front of me and jumpstart a card. Inspiration has a variety of triggers and
staying open to many sources of creativity is a good thing. This card started off with the embossed leaf
background . . .
I found some dies
whose shapes were similar to the embossed leaves, so I cut two of those. Then I found the leafy border die in a drawer
I hadn't been able to get open without a hernia threatening to undo me. After a determined struggle, I took it to a cabinetmaker
who went to work on the sides with a serious sander, and now I can get at a
bunch of cubes and bolios I haven't seen in years.
As I said,
inspiration comes from many sources . . .
