Hi Peeps
Just a quickie from me today... I bought this MFT Die-namics Umbrella die at the Harrogate show... (yes, I'm slowly working my way through the new stash!) I'd seen a card using the die on Pinterest, so decided to try my own design and I'm quite please with the result (though I say so myself...)
I've just used a scalloped edge Nestie (not sure what it's called) for the card base - it's only tiny - 4" x 4" at most. Then bazzil cardstock which I've put through the swiss dots embossing folder - with the corners rounded. I did a sentiment on the PC, which I punched with a Stampin Up punch. A little bow and a pearl at the top finished it off. As my favourite little creature on the TV ads would say....... Simples!!!
I still have a hottie bottle not too far away from me all the time at the mo... I'm getting really fed up of my bad back/sciatica or whatever it is now... not been to the doc about it as I've had a back problem on and off for years... but I was at the docs yesterday for a routine blood test and mentioned it. She's sending me for an MRI to find out what's actually happening with my back..... so that'll be good - at least I'll know if it's from the disc problem I had originally, or whether it's sciatica or arthritis or whatever.
Have a good weekend, whatever you're up to!
Big hugs

This is so sweet and I love the sentiment! Hope you're feeling better soon and the MRI finds out what is wrong. Have a lovely weekend.

Good Morning Christine,
ReplyDeleteI just love your card the concept is perfect.
I am off to have a look for that die, it could be used in so many different ways. Tell you! I am truly amazed at what I can learn by Blog Hopping.

Love the card Christine. It's so cute but conveys the thought so well. There are a lot of bad backs about at the minute - no fun is it? I hope you get some relief soon and that the medics can get a proper diagnosis and help you.

Hi Christine, This is such a sweet card! I would so love an umbrella like this :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are still suffering with your back ... hopefully the MRI will help you get a diagnosis.

Love this Christine! Love the floral umbrella and it's just perfect with the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI hope the MRI helps to get some sort of diagnosis for you and you'll soon be pain free.

This is stunning Christine!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love the simpler style of cards (though I do find them tricky little buggers to make myself!)
This is just perfect :)
I hope you feel better soon, and the scan should get to the bottom of it.
Big hugs

Hi Christine, Gorgeous umbrella die - it's so pretty and I love your choice of floral paper.
