Snowdrop journal page

 

Good Morning Ladies,  

Today's reminder is very true,   especially if you managed to get through your 'mountain climbing' day yesterday,  for some of us it feels like a celebration just to through the day,  I genuinely feel a small buzz of joy as I get into bed at night,  "I made it through another day"! 🤣😂

Prescription review went well yesterday,  the pharmacist was lovely,   I told him that I felt overwhelmed having 4 new medications to start in one week,  he went through them with me,   I asked about moving my original BP tablet to morning as prescribed,  explaining that I was told to take it straight away (in the evening) on the day it was prescribed as my BP was so high.  He initially said that I could move it by taking as I have been and then taking another the following morning,   when I explained that I was worried about taking the Amlodipine and Ramipril together in the morning he said he didn't recommend that as they both make your BP drop quickly and will both lose effectiveness at the same time, so he suggested leaving the Amlodipine in the evening and Ramipril in the morning.  I felt relieved afterwards,  he didn’t want me to take the GTN spray unless absolutely necessary,  the Buscopan tablets I explained that I was taking 2 twice a day and he said it would be helpful for all of my abdominal issues so recommended I take the full 6 tablets a day.   The only other thing that he suggested was me taking a Beta Blocker as my heart rate is still high particularly noticeable at night, so he is going to talk to my GP.  All in all I felt that he really listened and wanted to help, which is reassuring.  

Today's journal page was made yesterday,  following a Tracy Evan’s tutorial.

I used Micro Glaze through a stencil, the Micro Glaze is like vaseline,  so acts as a resist.   I then added some Lindys pigment powders (like pixie powders)  and spritzed with water,   I set it to dry...

This is how it looks after it was dry

I then added embossing paste, through a script stencil.   This photo shows the shimmer from the Lindy pigment powders.  

I then die cut the Snowdrop and used Lost Shadow DO on the flower and Twisted Citron & a touch of Rustic Wilderness on the stem. I added  some script stamped details on the petals   After I had dried it I covered it with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder and heat set, then repeated to give a lovely thick glaze.

I adhered the Snowdrop to the background and added some little bits of stamped details around the snowdrop.  Some white splatters and a black mat finish the page. 

I hope that you all have a lovely day, 

Love and hugs to all, 

Sandra xxx
