Man Card Monday

 



Good Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you are all rested and relaxed after a lovely weekend. 
I decided yesterday that I am going to have to take a few days off from walking up and down the garden as my hip pain has risen to a level that no combination of drugs can ease. Luckily the weather hasn't been too warm so watering hasn't been such a priority (apart from indide the greenhouse) and Paul can manage that now.

So I am hoping that my 'mojo ' sticks with me so that I can finish my album and get some cards made for upcoming challenges and birthday's of course. 
Todays card is one of a few that I made over the weekend using the Indigo Blu box Magazine that I bought, I really love all of the papers and the stamps in this kit
I used Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides, with a little Tumbled Glass to create the background,  I stamped and masked off the Air Balloon and used some of the background stamps and the mask to give detail to the background, stamping with the same Distress Oxides as I used to blend the initial colours. I stamped a simple 'Happy Birthday omto a piece of white card and used the same distress inks to colour the piece to match the background.                                                                    To finish the card I cut a couple of pieces of the background papers that come with the kit and added a strip ro the bottom of my card and another to create some interest behind the sentiment.           I am quite pleased with how it turned out, I hope you like it too. 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra                                                                              xxxxxx

    Sandra-what a fantastic card, it’s brilliant.

    I managed to sit outside yesterday afternoon reading. It was a but cool but ok with my hoodie on. It was mainly to distract me from the toothache I have-a Lethe piece of another tooth cracked off while I was having my breakfast yesterday. It’s left the tooth quite sensitive to anything touching it. I guess I’ll be trying to speak to the dentist this morning, this is the 3rd tooth that needs attention.

    1. Try to have a nice break anyway whatever you do. Go for walks when the weather is good and get together with the grandchildren for some cuddles and perhaps get some cards together. Take care x

  5. Hi Sandra & ladies
    Lovely card today. A bit cool today although I’ve been on 2 medium sized walks, looks a bit like rain here as well Lilian. Hope you manage to empty your cupboards out before the kitchen people arrive. It’s a big upheaval having your kitchen cupboards replaced. I think I’m going crafting for awhile. Amber went off this morning. Hope she gets on alright. Mind you she’ll have 70 others that’ll be in the same boat as her, ( new college course starters ) so she should be ok.
    Take care & stay safe everyone.

    Hope you’re all having a good day. Hugs to all xxx

  7. Hello Sandra and ladies,

    Great inspiration for a man card Sandra, The Indigo Blu box magazine seems full of inspiration. Sorry to read you are in such great pain, try to rest your as much as you can. thank goodness Paul is able to water the greenhouse, one less thing for you to worry about doing.

    The children are mostly back in school, although not all of them full time. A relative of SIL went back to school a couple of weeks ago (lives in Scotland) one of the children has contacted Covid so the whole class has to quarantine for two weeks, but also there whole family’s as well. London Transport are running two buses on every route at school times, one is just for school children the other for everyone else. I just avoid going on bus If at all possible.

    Take care everyone and stay safe. Hugs Brenda xxx

  9. Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. I love this gorgeous card. You have woven your magic over the pretty papers. Your mojo is back with a vengeance after opening the indigo blu box set isn’t it. So happy that it is. But sad to hear you are in so much extra pain. Please try and rest as much as possible. Something easier say than do at the moment though. Sending gentle hugs my lovely xx
    It’s been a funny day weather wise here today, we have had sun, rain, wind, blue skies and grey skies. Wonder hat it will be like tomorrow? Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for Lynda, Mum and all in need. Take care xx
