Well I have had a yucky week last week. I have a lung infection-yeah and let's just say the meds reacted badly with me so back to the Dr I go, I am concerned about my mom's memory-she is going for an MRI and my former father in law passed away. He was so gallant, kind and dignified. I don't think he could be here without his wife who passed away last April. They were married 59 yrs and lovingly so. Sorry for whining but I just had to let it out a little:) I could not bring myself to make a sympathy card even though I will be going to the funeral. At least not today so I made a birthday card with the thought of mom and dad (I still call them that) and thought of flowers which mom loved and butterflies which mean "Joy of Life". I made the 365 day card challenge from yesterday (too ill to do it yesterday) and I used the butterflies for Flutter by Wednesday and The homemade flower for Crafty Creations. I used glossy bronze cardstock and then a pretty light lavendar cardstock for the cuttlebug embossing. I cut out 4 hearts from the glossy cardstock to make my flower and added a pearl embellishment for the centre.I used pearls for the edges(nope not real) and then I embossed in black the butterflies and I watercoloured using my Tombow markers in a variety of colours and cut out the butterflies. You can't see it but at the bottom of the card there are 3 pearls that I coloured purple. When you open the card you still see the 3 pearls-Oh well can't see them but it looks nice I think. Thanks for reading my whine. Everyone have a beautiful day, stop and smell the flowers and enjoy watching a butterfly dance among themMonday, March 15, 2010
