Pretty mixed with a bit if grunge

 





Good Friday Morning Ladies,  

Please join me in wishing Sonia a very Happy Birthday,  I hope you have an amazing day 🥰

As you can imagine yesterday was a bit if a slow one, sciatica is horrible,  you can sit and think you are ok, then go to move and it's like someone has electrocuted you,  what a night I had, getting 'comfortable is hard enough for me, adding in sciatica made for a very long night!  I did find it  eased off a bit during the afternoon yesterday,  fingers crossed it's easing 🤞

I did manage to get a card together late afternoon,  its a mostly die cut which is somewhat of a rate thing for me lately.  I had a piece of embossed white card that I tore the edges from to give a more of a mixed media look,  I stamped the sentiment and added lots of different bits of foliage behind, I stamped and die cut 5 flowers and coloured them and added to opposite corners of the sentiment tag  

I finished it with 3 AB pearls and some clear glitter on the flowers. 

I hope that you all have a lovely end to your week, 

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx

  2. Hi, lovely and sunny but very chilly breeze. Am writing this in the garden with the scent of the jasmine wafting over.
    Apologies for missing yesterday’s blog, my memory is shocking these days.
    Happy Birthday Sonia, hope you have a lovely day.
    Sandra hope your sciatica eases soon.

    Loved yesterday’s tag, might have to splash out and get some of those cubes.
    Today’s card is a bit different, like you I rarely use die cuts, but seeing your card has given me an idea for a card.

    Hugs to all Lilian

  3. Hi everyone.
    Third time trying to post so here we go.
    Happy Birthday to our Sonia, have a fantastic day 💐
    Hoping that the sciatica is easing up as the day goes Sandra and that your other problems are getting better.
    Lilian, hopefully you will be able to have a nice day as possible.
    Sending hugs to you all from me sitting at Dobbies for brunch. Very lucky to have it so close from home, missing tho the lovely walk over we could do, I can't remember last time I was able to.
    Have a good day everyone and enjoy the sunshine. Hugs to you all xxx

  4. Hello Sandra and everyone,
    Happy birthday Sonia. I hope you’re having a lovely day and you will be spoiled by all of your family. XXX
    Beautiful card today Sandra, just left the die cuts against the torn edges of the emboss piece. It’s just beautiful.
    Thank goodness we’ve got better weather today yesterday it was a case of wearing an extra. They had to keep warm and definitely not a day to work out in the garden. I’ve been out in the garden for awhile this morning and will probably get out a little while this afternoon mostly to water the plants.
    Hope the weather is lovely where you are sending love and hugs to everyone, love Brenda XXX

    Another lovely card, I very rarely think to tear the edges for a different look but it looks great again the pretty posy. I hope your sciatica is easing my lovely xx
    Awfully painful knees in particular so it was a bed day. Don’t know why just hope they are not as bad tomorrow. Sleep well. Take care. Love Sue xx
