A few challenges combined

I don't usually combined challenges but I felt inspired by these three so put them together.

The sketches at Sketch Saturday are always inspiring for me so that was my base, then I looked at Craft Your Days Away and saw that the challenge was distressing--not something I'm good at but I do keep trying and they say practice makes perfect. Last but not least was the challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge and it is 'Under the Weather' and so many of my friends are just that at the moment so I made a get well card for one of them.
The sun was shining on the card so it looks a bit sparkly.

Lovely poppy and sentiment stamps were part of the blog candy I won at This Little Place-thanks Zoe, and the wooden shapes are from Kars. I used the aged mahogany Distressed Ink on almost everything

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery.
