So my week was a little more challenging than I had hoped. Seems like "Someone's" really challenging my "Be happy no matter what" resolution I've made! In the first month of 2014, we've had tree limbs smash up the car; one dog diagnosed with inoperable cancer; I was under the weather; the other dog tried to kill our newly adopted cat-producing bruises and scratches on yours truly, cat survived and dog was put in time out (and still there) lol; and now the hot water tank is leaking! However, I have managed to take it all with a fairly cheerful attitude (except for the one dog's illness and other dog's attempted cat murder). IF that isn't enough, I had issues with my Big Shot this week and had to just walk away from crafting for a couple days to see if I could sort it out. It's still giving me issues, but it's better. Never knew you could use foil and wax paper to help sharpen things up! Now I know!
So, now I'm pretty much back on track with just one small interruption of the Hubs putting some new furniture into my craft room yesterday. So now supplies are more strewn everywhere needing to be put in their new proper places! It's never a dull moment at the Salkeld's! hahaha
Now on with my card...
My card is more the pinkish fuchsia than the purple fuchsia. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I printed my digital image on white cardstock and then again on patterned paper and fussy cut out the vase from the pattern paper to match my background paper on the card. I colored my digital image with Copics then added some Diamond Stickles and a small grey bow to the vase.
I used a quatrefoil cutting plate for an overlay of my background and then recycled the punched insides of the plate, the flower looking ones, as my border along the large vertical pennant on my card.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Here's hoping February is a much more "Lovely" month in the Salkeld household! LOL
Sunday, Groundhog Day and Superbowl Blessings!
