Lovely simple Christmas card

 



Happy Belated Birthday 
Gina

Good Morning Ladies,  

Firstly I want to wish our lovely Gina a very happy belated birthday,   I am so sorry that I missed your birthday yesterday,  it sometimes happens when I schedule the blog post in advance.  I hope you had a lovely day 😘

I had a very frustrating day yesterday,  I called the surgery at 8am to try and get an appointment,  I ended up waiting for the Nurse to call me,  I asked her to check my results that the Out of Hours GP sent off on Saturday,  but no, the sample has disappeared!!! I saw her put it in a special bottle and fill in the paperwork, but she called the Lab and they have nothing.  Looking at the last test there are only two antibiotics that will clear it, the one I am taking and isn't working or Nitrofurantoin that I can't take!!   The nurse said that they are running out of options so maybe I should contact the Consultant Urologist,   like he is going to diagnose me.  I did try to contact his Secretary but after 1 hour 50 mins on hold I gave up!  Whatever he says about the Uromune Vaccination they still need to clear my current infection!!  Wish me luck today please.  

I followed a Tracy Evan’s YouTube Tutorial for Todays card.   I started by cutting a piece of Washi tape in half and using it to mask off a narrow strip across the card just below the centre.  
I then blended Salty Ocean over the taped area then Blueprint Sketch close to the line to give a darker area and make the white void stand out more.  I spritzed with water and blotted to give some interest.  Now to the stamping,  I used the gorgeous Stags from Tracy Evans 'Wilderness ' stamp set.  For perspective I stamped the signpost with the owl (the right way up)!  I used a Berry to create a Bauble on the Stag Antlers,   then stamped the sentiment and ran glue along the white centre, top ,& Bottom and added Rock Candy Glitter (Chunky & Fine)
 A few splatters and matting and layering to finish the card.  

I hope that you all have a good day, 

Love and hugs,

  1. Hello , I am sorry I’ve not been in for a couple of days, joints have been bad to haven’t felt like doing much.
    Sandra I do hope they can find some medication to clear your infection. Can you try email the secretary if you can find the address.

    Loved all the makes on Sunday and yesterday’s journal page .
    Today’s card is very striking,love Tracy’s ideas but somehow I can never pull them off.
