Growing in Unity~ Day One

Growing in Unity~ Day One


For this card, I wanted to make a card that would “speak” to the Roller Derby community.

I used stamps from the Jack (ass) set.
I paper- pieced fishnet stockings and added “derby” make-up to my image.

I am entering this card into 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge #26

I am Silvia Hutchinson (AKA Raven Lunatic when I am with my Roller Derby Team.
Ever since childhood, I have had a creative soul. I was introduced to stamping at a local stamp shop many years ago and have grown quite a collection of stamps and supplies. I don't have a particular "style". My creations are quirky and "all over the place".
I lost my biggest cheerleader 5 years ago when I became widowed. Within a year of that loss, both of my sons graduated college and moved out of state. I had to rediscover who I was, which resulted in joining a Roller Derby team and acquiring my motorcycle license. I also recently remarried.
I have learned the hard way that each day is a gift and should be lived to it's fullest
I am SUPER THRILLED to have been chosen to be a GIU girl.





Thanks for stopping by 😁
