As we enter month 5 of life in a Covid world, I suspect I'm not the only one who feels a bit aimless and frazzled by the stress of it all.

Card making is all about relaxing for me, so I cut a stack of card toppers, paint them then match them to a backing card. I don’t worry too much about the finished result while painting, as I can keep spares for a future card making round.

A chill evening of painting once again. It’s great that there’s nothing I want to watch on tv at the moment! Listened to a full @auroramusic album and working my way through @paramore’s new album as I muck around with colours.

This is the second card I made last night, inspired by Japanese tinned peaches 🍑

Trying to rediscover watercolour painting while making a batch of greeting cards for 2023. I try to have a handful of handmade cards ready for birthdays and thank yous, and I’m quite happy with how this one turned out 😊 This one was inspired by a book of canned foods from Japan 💖
