Don’t let life RUFFLE your feathers.

The Simon Says: Spread Your Wings Monday Challenge inspired me to create a really special card for my mum. She is 84 years old, lives alone, 2000 kms away from me, and 2 weeks ago she had a fall and fractured several vertebrae in her lower spine. She needs to spend 8 weeks in hospital in a back brace and lying flat on her back. Over the last 2 weeks I have been wowed by her incredible courage and positivity. When thinking about her, the MFT lying down penguin image just flashed into my mind, and I just had to put her in an idyllic tropical setting-mum could well use a pina colada I suspect. The words are so true – You Go Girl! Don’t Let Life Ruffle Your Feathers-even at 84.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: You Go Girl, Waffle Flower Tiger Lilly, MFT Penguins in Paradise, Hero Arts Stamp & Cut Hello.
Dies: Stitched circle, stitched hills, Hero Arts Hello.
Inks: Altenew ocean wave, dusk, desert night, Tim Holtz mermaid lagoon. All 4 colours used in stencilled background.
Other: copic colours, yellow glitter card, wave like stencil, neenah white card, tattered angels glimmer mist dazzling diamonds sprayed on stencilled background, 3mm sequins, Ranger stickles turquoise, antique silver gel pen for sunglass lenses.
