I have a another birthday card today. Still simple but not as CAS as the previous ones. Again, using stuff from the "left over" box. Actually everything but the card base is from the "left over" box. I used alcohol markers to color the flower and leaves, the other leaves are die cut from vellum, a die cut stitched square from the "left over" box and that is it.
Well that is it. I'm soon off to take my meds and head to bed for the evening. I'd like to just stay there! As soon as it is daylight, Maverick is waking me up wanting to get up. Savannah doesn't move a muscle until I put my glasses on, then she knows I'm getting up. Not Maverick! I will be getting around to visit during my "feel decent" part of the days. Not many of them, but hopefully soon I will be back to normal.
Crafty hugs,

Oh Brenda, what a generous son you have - a bit like my daughter who had shared covid with four of the five of us, me included... like you, I am not impressed.
ReplyDeleteLove your card - that is beautiful. The colouring and composition is a joy to behold

Beautiful birthday card Brenda! In fact, it's totally gorgeous! WOW!
ReplyDeleteBut......OH NO on having the flu! I'll be thinking of you and hope you're starting to feel better now. Hopefully Bret will get the pups early today and let you get some rest. Sending a healing hug!

Sorry to hear that you are so unwell Brenda, hope you’ll soon be fully recovered.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, the flower is just lovely. xx
OH Brenda, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well! I haven't had the flu since I was 17 but I remember how terrible I felt even way back then. I hope you feel better after getting some rest and taking your meds and hopefully the doggies won't drive you crazy wanting to go out and play in this heat! This is such a pretty card with those vellum stems and gorgeous flower! I love the simple design too, nice work! Now just chill inside and take good care of yourself, ya hear? Keep smiling too :)
ReplyDeleteThis is even prettier in person and I am enjoying it, Brenda! I'm so sorry you feel bad and hope it will pass soon. Rest when you can. Sending healing hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt's awful to hear you're not well and puppy sitting too? Poor you. I hope each day brings you a quicker recovery. As for your card, love the base card with the bright and happy flower, also love the vellum leaves, all so beautiful Brenda. Big Hugs to, hopefully, make you feel a little better,

It's hard to rest when the dogs need to go out and want to play too. I hope you will get rest when they go home and I'm sorry you feel bad. This is a lovely card and the last two are also. I love the colors on both and the designs. Keep well, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear you are not feeling well.
I do hope you will be felling A1 again soon.
Love your wonderful card and your gorgeous design.
That flower is gorgeous and you have coloured it perfectly too.
Really like the idea of the vellum leaves.
Lots of crafty love and gentle hugs from my house to yours. Jenny L.
My goodness! that is some leftover box. Marvelous job with the card.
ReplyDeleteJust said a prayer for you to get well. It isn't fun with animals that need taking care of when you are sick. Take care of yourself.
Love, Hugs and Blessings
Beautifully colored Brenday! Your shading and vellum look gorgeous on this. This is really eye- catching!
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda. Sorry you had a terrible time recently. I'm just seeing this today and I haven't been well either ... think it was that same darn flu you had. Hope by now you are much, much better, my sweet friend. Your card is GORGEOUS. I LOVE everything about it from the coloured card stock, beautifully coloured bloom and gorgeous background of subtle vellum leaves. It's a beauty! Take care. Love, Loll
