Hello
Bet
you thought I had forgotten all about my blog didn't you?
The
truth is I just haven't felt up to making cards really – after
leaving hospital naturally I wasn't in a position to do anything in
the craft room.
After
a few days home I actually sat at the computer but it played havoc
with my knees
Then
one night it dawned on me – my chairs in the craft room have air
lift so I lowered both chairs so I had both feet on the floor and hey
its great!
Today
I have actually cut out ready to make 4 cards which I am so pleased
about.
I'm
sharing a card today but it isn't one I have just made
In
fact I made it as part of a challenge on our craft forum which is
Ukandocrafts – a group for UK crafters to meet, share hints, tips
and ideas – look out for each other and of course we do challenges
in card making and run monthly ATC swaps too...just google us if you
are seriously interested in joining us!
Anyway
the theme for the challenge was IT FLIES
And
I instantly thought back to some ATCs I had recently made – one in
particular was a Superman – perfect!
So
that is what I did!
I
printed off a couple of different backing papers and then the main
image sheet
It
was so plain and simple and in fact isn't really finished as no
sentiment was added
I
matted one of the backing sheets to silver mirri card and a small
piece of a different backer to gold mirri card
Both
panels were stuck to a black A5 card using double sided tape.
The
image was also matted to mirri board and stuck at an angle to the top
of the card with sticky pads
The
decoupage was added and that was it!!!
How
very idle of me eh?
I
am hoping my eyes will continue to get better – have opticians
appointment at the end of April – did ring to try bring forward but
a day earlier was the best so will have to be patient.
Half
of the time its fine I can see normally then suddenly its all cloudy
and I struggle to focus – star like bits appear to flutter in front
on my which means I just cannot see clearly enough to do anything..
So
be mended I'm sure!
Well
I hope you like the card – its made but cant imagine having a need
to sue it!!
Thank
you all for the cards, flowers, emails, texts, facebook messages and
the visits – its a great feeling knowing people think about me with
love
Bye
for now friends
