Embossed Christmas tree

 


Good Morning Ladies, 

Well let's just say yesterday felt like it lasted a week,  my heart clearly wanted to put in a full performance for the ECG monitor,  I was woken about 8 times with my heart in full on AF episode,  then I as I was awake ny body decided we needed to go to the bathroom, I was already awake when Paul's alarm went off at 5am, he bought me a cup of tea at 6am and I tried to get back to sleep but it wasn't happening,  probably because I knew I had to get up to go back to the hospital to have the monitor removed.  The lady (Sally) was so lovely, I think we sometimes forget to mention the good service providers, they can make such a difference to how we feel at an appointment.   We now have to wait 2 weeks for the reading to be processed and sent back to GP.                                                                 Today's appointment is with Bridget the nurse to discuss/ have Merina coil.  I'm still not fully sure, but the thought of having no more "cycles", I was going to say monthly but they are more frequent than that, I am waiting on a scan appointment to check if there are any changes since that awful Hysteroscopy, because my symptoms are 10 times more painful and heavy than before the procedure!  Fingers crossed 'Merina' is the answer. 

Today's card is quite a simple design, I took a piece of Kraft card and embossed it with the Tim Holtz Pine Embossing folder, then I took my 'lovely as  a tree stamp set' and stamped the Christmas tree in Rustic Wilderness and added the sentiment below in the same ink.  I layered the piece onto coordinating card and used a piece of Mossy Meadow twice to add some interest.


A close up of the little gem 'baubles' I added to tue tree for embellishment. 


A quick close up of the embossed detail too! 


I hope that you all have a good Thursday,  

Love & hugs to all of you,

  1. Hi Sandra and all looking in today. I love today’s card. I wonder how many of this Stampin up tree is stamped every year? It is still one of, if not the best Christmas tree stamp. Adding that bit of twine makes such a difference. I am really struggling with what to add on my cards even more than usual so I do like to see what you add as it always inspires me. I just have to make a card now so I can use one of your ideas to finish it off.
    🀞🏼and thinking of you today my lovely xx

  4. Hi everyone
    A pretty card and how nice are those trees.
    Wishing you feel better soon and that the coil works πŸ™ take care πŸ’•
    We went out this morning and were back around 1 pm so I went straight to my desk to think of a card to make and I ended up with making a few backgrounds instead, I guess they can be useful. I'm not going anywhere tomorrow so hopefully a card will be together for cc πŸ™„πŸ˜‰
    Take care everyone it seem like another storm is on it's way.
    Hugs to you all xx
