Paintbrush Strokes card

Good Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you all had better weather than we had yesterday, it rained on and off all day , it felt chilly too.  I was intending to do some crafting but that didn't happen,  I had put some magazine for sale on fb, a lady asked if I had a embossing folder that was part of the free gift bundle, so I went in to look for this embossing folder, 2+ hours later I had paired a huge pile of magazines with the free gifts that they came with, mostly untouched !  So I have packed them all into a bag ready to photograph and put on fb destash groups.  There are a few that I have kept as the sentiments are nice or I like the stamps or die set.  

My other issue was stess yesterday,  with Mother Nature's extremely bad timing I am worried that they won't do the diagnostic checks that I am scheduled for today, I have an Ultrasound of my Urinary tract and a Cystoscopy, I am also worried about what they will find,  lets hope that it puts a stop to the horrendous symptoms!  I do feel that the supplements I've  been taking have helped though, I will write a list to take with me.  Please keep your fingers crossed for me my lovely friends XXX

I'm not sure about this card, it's another very different card, it was quick to make and would definitely work for a man, with a colour change it would work well for ladies too, I am tempted to buy a better set of paintbrush stroke stamps, with more variety of length and width of the brushstrokes, because I saw some lovely cards on Pinterest using different ones,  the set that I used for this card is a Stampin Up one called Brushed Blooms

I used Crumb cake ink for that top brushstroke and then inked half the bottom one with Night of Navy and the other half with Pumpkin Pie.  I used an Aall&Create stamp to add the little splatters. I finished the card with a sentiment stamped onto Crumb cake to match card base and 3 coordinating resin dots. 

This challenge topic like the last one has pushed me right out of my comfort zone and I enjoyed making totally different cards to my usual style.

I hope that the Sun makes an appearance today, I have promised myself that if I get through this appointment in one piece, I am going to get Paul to go into the huge Morrisons store next to the Health centre to buy a cream cake !!!

Sending my love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
