So, if you like, you could consider it extra inspiration to play along with my musical words challenge this month at Our Creative Corner - With a Song in Your Heart. You still have until the 28th to create a piece inspired by and including a song title or lyrics.
Of course, being me, there's also lots of texture on this creation, so I hope it might also kick you into action for the Artistic Stamper challenge this month - Embossing and Texture. For that you have until the end of the month.
In either case - or if you want to combine both - you'll need to hop over to The Artistic Stamper to get your inspirational fix... sneak peeks only here.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Believe it or not, I'll be back tomorrow (and the day after...), so I hope to see you soon!
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

"Why don't your cry me a river, cry me a river - I cried a river over you."
Of all days for you to post this. My heart has been weeping for 24 hours now. I can hear that song now as if it were yesterday when it was popular. As always Sugar, you have made a beautiful and clever canvas. Interesting the chains. Now you have me singing "unchain my heart and baby set me free". Funny where my mind jumps when prompted.

Ooooh lah lah! Just back from oohing and aaahing over there. I adore the way you cracked that piece and used the chain to follow along the natural lines.
Wow wow wow absolutely gorgeous stunning creation. I am in love with the crackle, I have 3 pots of croco, I really must use it again, I think it's because it needs a bit longer to dry that I always forget lol. I love the theme you went with, and the image is beautiful :-) Kezzy xxx
