Bad Luck / Good luck



My niece,Lisa,( who is a SU demo in Dubbo NSW) recently had a bit of bad luck...she dropped her i phone and it stubbornly refused to work after that. However that turned into good luck for me - because in order to raise a few dollars (!!) for a new phone she decided to sell off a few old stamp sets and I managed to pick up a bargain on "Botanical Blooms"- a set which I never got and always wished that I had!! I got it one afternoon in the mail and used it straight away for this card!!! Thanks Lisa! It uses the Fall to Layout for last week-#82 and like all Natasha's fabulous sketches is so simple but lends itself to so many stamping possibilities! I did not set out to make a sympathy card when I started out but this card kind of evolved into one as I had to end up using the black ink to make the image stand out on the DSP -I don't need a sympathy card at the moment-let's hope it sits unused in my card box for a long time....

Didn't recognise Botanical Blooms - doesn't it come up stylishly in black! Really like it. But yes hope it does stay in the box for a long time.
