Magic with metal

Hello everyone
it certainly has been a long time between posts !!
Some health issues with my hubby
 have stopped me creating recently.
He had a massive cycling accident 
lots of internal bleeding and broken bones 
and cuts and bruises !!!
He has been diagnosed with Post traumatic Stress Disorder.
the last 5 years he has endured a massive infection from a hip replacement, 
cancer , heart disease and now his cycling accident 
no wonder he is stressed !!!!
 
He is improving little by little 
thank goodness.
I know we can get through this together .
Here is a textured LO 
I used a beautiful photo of a stunning piece of metal jewelery
created by the very talented 
Deryn Boyd Mentock
see her amazing creations on her FB page .
I titled this page MAGIC
 loaded with Dusty Attic chippies and texture.
love these delightful pieces of beauty .





thanks so much for popping by .
and taking a look at my work 
take care until next time 
happy scrapping 
love and hugz from Heather x
