A trick for 'busy' papers

 

Good Morning Ladies, 

Wasn't sure if yesterday was going to be a 'write off' of a day after starting another bout of Uti symptoms on Sunday, the pain was off the scale!  I dosed up on cystitis relief powders and took an antibiotic ( this is what they were prescribed for) I am guessing it was 'Mother Nature's Gift ' that caused the issue,  I am guessing its not an actual uti but a flare up of my Interstitial Cystitis (painful bladder syndrome).  Thankfully the pain had subsided through the night, although I was exhausted with the frequent visits to bathroom that is also a symptom, after Paul got up at 6am I did get back to sleep for an hour or so,  which I was grateful for as I had the worst headache, properly from tiredness as that was my 3rd night of not being able to sleep.  I did call GP for advice but as I write this post I have still not had a call, mind you getting the receptionist to understand that my diagnosis/problems around uti means that no pharmacist can treat my symptoms, the only antibiotic they prescribe is Nitrofarantoin, which is now listed as an allergy on my notes. The pharmacist himself explained it all to me and bless him he called surgery to back me up. 

So my craft desk beckoned, I had no idea what to create, I then saw a post featuring a sketch that used an offcut of paper so I had a play, the paper I have used is very busy, far too fussy to use as a background,  so I took a piece of it and adhered it to a piece of card the same size as a card base, after allowing a little time to dry I ran it through an embossing folder which made the two pieces look like they were meant to be together, 

To embellish this card I tried a couple of different things but settled on some flowers that I fussy cut from the paper I used and a die cut leaf stem.  

Tip:  to eradicate the white edge when fussy cutting take aome ink the same colour family as the item you are fussy cutting a dauber or dry baby wipe and add a touch of ink around the cut edges. 

I joined two sentiments together to create a longer border type sentiment,  getting them lined up was a bit of a trial but cracked it in the end by using a ruler to align them. 

Something a little bit different and a great way to use those fussy papers.

I hope that you all have a good day, 

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
