Lavinia stamps April challenge

Good morning. 

 I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe in these uncertain times. 

I’m finding that each day is merging into the next without even realising it. A big thank you to all those essential workers who are helping us. Thank you to all those who are social distancing. The next few months will be difficult for some so we need to look after each other. 

I love my crafting but my creativity is struggling at the moment, so I watched some of the many demonstrations that are on Facebook at the moment and decided to follow along to a demo from Eileen Godwin, my first two samples are what I produced during the demo. 

The theme for April is: Blue and Silver.
