Another reverse eclipse card

 


Good Morning Ladies, 

Yesterday was a bit like "one of those days" you want to go back to bed and start the day over again!! 

I think I mentioned in my previous blog that I had done something to my knee,  I had it elevated most of the night,  however the pain was unbearable,  keeping me awake most of the night, when I got it off the bed to try and take a step, there was no way that was going to happen, it feels like it is under so much pressure, the pain is on the inside of my knee, the pain appears to spread up my thigh too. Getting down to my desk was a performance,  trying not to weight bare on the knee that you only use to weight bare ended up being a bit of a disaster,  thank goodness Paul was working from home!  Whilst we were navigating that situation my phone rang, it was Lucy, she was feeling like she was going to pass out and was going to be sick, can Dad please come get me.  So he closed down his terminals and off he went, he came back in confused as Lucy had driven herself and So her card would be left there!  I just said go get her and we'll work it out,  when she came in she looked terrible,  I had told her at 7.30am to call in and tell them she was too unwell to go in, but my girls are stubborn!  I asked if she wanted GP call but she said she just needed sleep.   She slept rest of the day.  Paul ended up driving Sophie's car into Wildlife park, Soph then drove her car back and Paul drove Lucy's car home, so all drama resolved....for today! 🤣🤩 

Today's card is another version of the reverse Eclipse card that I made last week.  I used my IndigoBlu Lady stamped in Versafine Clair and added clear embossing powder and heat set, I then created another exactly the same.  I used a more open design background die this one, cut two and adhered them together and then used the same die to cut one of my embossed Ladies,  after knocking out all the die cut bits I adhered this one to the top of the other two die cuts, so you have one piece, the final part is to line up your die cut piece with picture on with the image on the background piece....



This was quite an intricate one to line up but if you have cut all your parts the same size you should be fine.  

The final part was adding a black mat and then adhere to a card base. 

I'd love to see you have a go, 

Sending love and hugs,

Sandra xxx

  2. Hi everyone
    Beautiful card 😍 and I will give it a go too .
    Sorry to hear about your knee. It could be a cyst behind the kneecap so see the doctor if it's not going.
    We have just got back from lunch out with SIL and their cousin. Hadn't seen them since April so it was nice to see them and have a catch up.
    Back is so bad that I screamed out at every bump in the road, and there are loads unfortunately 😔 Getting in and out of the car was a bit tricky too because I have no strength in the knees to shoot off from, the same going to the loo 🙄🤭
    I hope that you all have had a good day whatever you have been up to. Hugs to you all, xxx

  4. Love your reverse eclipse card, definitely one to try. XX
    Sandra Hope your knee hasn’t been so painful today, can you take any pain relief? How is Lucy today i hope she is feeling better. Good job Paul was at home and could go to her rescue.
    Marie i know how you feel when the car goes over road humps (and potholes) I try to hold on to my left knee, not to mention the fractures in the base of my spine i could cry with the pain. I don’t want to be reliant on painkillers but if we are going out i will take some before we go.
    Sleep well everyone, goodnight love Brenda xxx
