Love those Leftovers Top talent

Welcome back to another Top Talent spotlight at Our Creative Corner!

This month we are shining the spotlight on the winner of the 'Love those Leftovers' Challenge that was hosted by Linda!

Our Creative Corner is so pleased to be welcoming Ruth from a love to create. Ruth won the challenge with her gorgeous CAS card and showed us that sometimes the simplest design can be the most beautiful....
 
As usual, before we show you Ruth's stunning creation - let's just spend some time finding out a little bit more about this talented crafter.......





 1. Where do you live?
I live in a small village on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border...very close to the beautiful Peak District.


2. Describe yourself in five words?
Not as easy as it sounds but with a little help .....Patient, Honest, Precise, Warm and Imaginative.


3. What if anything, do you consistently draw inspiration from?

My first reaction is to say the natural world. I love colour and texture and when going out for a walk just can't resist touching flowers, trees and even rocks...more recently though I would say inspiration has come from blog hopping. I am amazed at crafters creativity and am constantly inspired by it.


4. What is the one craft item you couldn't do without?

I considered all sorts of tools or products but it's a basic I'd miss..Matte medium.


5. What is the most satisfying/exciting.....the designing or the end result?
Well I've discovered recently that one depends on the other. It has to be the journey, the creative process but only if I like the end result.


6. Is there something you wish you were better at?

Keeping in touch with friends, I am loyal but so so bad at keeping in touch.


7. Whats the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you?

Think before you speak. You can't undo what's said so take a deep breath, think, then speak....it works.





Ruth is sharing such a stunning canvas for us all to be inspired by! Take a look at this amazing creation.....










This is so amazing Ruth! Such a breathtakingly beautiful creation! It has been such an honour to feature you today at Our Creative Corner.
