Buckwells crafty challenge guest designer month of May

Hi everyone im Joanne Rupertinger and I was asked by Lozzy if I would be a guest designer for the month of May.

I Live in Malvern, Worcestershire UK with my husband and 2 children. I love crafting and making things I studied art at college and fashion design and textiles at university. I have been drawing and making things since I was small.

I design and run a lil digi heaven on etsy I also run a swapsite a lil scrap of heaven which I took over from a lovely lady called cynthialoowho in the USA. We run lots of different swaps from cards to altered paint pallets.

I would say my style is a mix of vintage and shabby chic but I will try any style to push my creativity.

I suffer from several conditions but the main one is fibromyalgia I find crafting takes my mind off things but I do have to have regular breaks because of the pain and fatigue.

The card I made was using the image Daysha from  A lil digi heaven

I coloured the image with spectrum noir  blendable pencils

I used backing papers from   Marianne design rose garden

The flowers are a generic brand
