Well, so much for my holiday!!! I was supposed to be away on holiday with friends this week. Unfortunately I went down with a gum infection on Friday which suddenly sent the world spinning at 100 miles an hour making me very nauseous. There was no way I could travel in that state. After two trips to the doctors Sunday and Monday was spent in oblivion, thanks to the strong drugs. Yesterday I was starting to feel a bit better and was not spinning quite so much. Today I was determined to try and do something other than lay around feeling sorry for myself. Although I am still having bouts of spinning I am going stir crazy not doing anything. It has taken me all day to make this card and I am now shattered but hopefully tomorrow will be better. Anyway, enough prattling on...
Following the lovely sketch I layered my card with these pretty papers and attached some gorgeous lace. I coloured the image with promarkers and added a touch of glitter to her clothes. I then distressed and glittered the edge of the image before layering it using a nestie. Having stamped the sentiment I punched it out and added a flower button using silver cord. I then distressed and glittered the edge. My fanciful flourish has also been distressed (with ink) and glittered. As it was a bit big I cut some of it off and placed it under the sentiment. I placed some gorgeous roses on the larger piece. A few gems in one corner finishes the card off. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you were able to make this so pretty while your head was spinning. It looks gorgeous, & I love all the fabulous embellishment. I didn't know a gum infection could be so bad. I hope you're feeling much better now though.
Hugs,
Andie xx
