A quick post?

A quickie from me today to share this card.

It  was made for my BIL's birthday and the inspiration came from the Make MY Monday challenge which for this month is Vintage and this week Brown Cream and Pink or Blue.

You would not believe the problems I have had trying to load this photo. I don't think I can blame blogger, it's something strange happening on my computer.  I started this post mid afternoon and it's taken me, on and off until now 7.30pm. grrrrrrrrrrrr!  I could find the file in my pictures but when I clicked browse to upload it, it was nowhere to be found. I tried going through flikr but exactly the same happened. Well I wont be beaten so in the end after re uploading it from my camera to no avail I moved it into another folder and voila. If any clever clog out there knows what could have happened I'd love to find out.
Anyway back to the card. embossed some brown coredinations on the Calibur. Stamped the card and cut it out of the box technique using my nesties.
Well that's it from me, I'm all computered out now.
Thanks for visiting

Flower Power!

Well I chose the theme for the challenge over at Try it on Tuesday this week. So I decided on FLOWER POWER for our CARD challenge.

Shouldn't be too difficult achieve I think with all the flower variations out there. Maybe shabby chic, vintage, elegant whatever you would like. I decided to go a bit funky.

I decided to use the flower mask again, well it was sitting looking at me on the desk.  I used various DI's to colour it.  The Campa is a Little Claire stamp water coloured.

Please take a look over at the challenge blog to see the wonderful DT cards and  I do hope you will decide to join us for the challenge this week.

Well that's about it from me for the moment.  I'm still nursing a bad back which is making life a bit difficult. I've got an appointment through to be assessed but it's not until 26th and I'm hoping it's feeling better by then. Well I really do hope so.

Have a good day

Murray's out

I've spent a very lazy afternoon watching the tennis (shame Murray lost) and nursing a bad back. Managed to get a cancelled appointment at the docs and he believes I have a disc problem and is getting me a physio appointment.

Anyway enough of my problems.  I managed to get a card done this morning for the Make My Monday challenge. It's a sketch this week but still with the floral theme.

I created the flowery background by using a mask and Dusty Concord DI on pink pearl card.  The image is an Elizabeth Bell that I had forgotten I had coloured with DIs.

I've nothing much planned for the weekend but have got the Barbara Gray shows on C & C on Sunday to look forward to.

Hope you have a good weekend

Hugs,

Pat xx
