Sunny Sunflowers

 

Good Thursday Morning, 

From a wet & wild Wiltshire!  Oh boy did we have a day yesterday,  well I say 'we' it was just me to start with!  My goodness the wind has gotten so wild recently,  our patio table is glass so we keep it covered with a heavy duty cover, which hasnt moved in years until these last few days, yesterday morning it took the form of a hot air balloon, I had no idea what to do, I ended up tucking the longer bits under the table legs and hoped for the best !  Then our electricity was doing weird things, it was like one power cut that lasted for a few seconds but over and over again,  then it went off and stayed off for a couple of hours,  but when it returned the small appliances, coffee maker, Alexa, Ninja,  toaster all came on but fridges/freezers, lights, cooker etc remained off which was a concern  so I called the Letting agent and reported the issue, thinking that they would send an electrician,  but no, they contacted Mr S, believe, this was the LAST thing I needed, packing boxes and chaos everywhere (we haven't mentioned to anyone locally that we are moving) so that we don't have to answer any awkward questions!  So the thought of him walking him to poke the Fuse box had me in a panic!!  Fortunately about 2 minutes after I called the Letting agent the electricity all came back on, phew 😅!!  So I very quickly called back to cancel the electrician!!   It turned out that a tree branch was causing the electricity to keep cutting out, then I guess it must have cut it off altogether!  It must be a very loose branch as we have power cuts almost daily for past couple of weeks!  

Janet,  you are needle free for a while now, I do hope that the injections will make you feel like you have more energy and feel better altogether,  I am hoping it has freed you up to go to Marigny and have some much needed relaxation!  ❤

Today's card was made a few days ago, I was trying to use up some of my stash of backgrounds,  the one I used for this card was one of the Tissue paper backgrounds I made a few weeks ago and the bonus piece I got by smooshing my tissue background to get good coverage.  

The last picture above is the bonus piece that I used for the background,  I ran it through my new Sunflower embossing folder and the  tried to change the colour so it matched better,  I added little touches of ink but mostly Gold gilding wax which seemed to work.  It definitely tied it to the sunflowers more with the touches of gold.  I used a green background to die cut the leaves that worked  well too.  To finish the card I added a sentiment stamped and embossed in gold to match.  

Thats 2 of the backgrounds used about 4 more to go!! 🤣😂

I hope that you a have a lovely day,

Love and hugs to all of you,
