I was also able to make a card for Poppystamps CAS August challenge. The rectangle diecut was leftover from making my JUGS Bee card as I didn't want to waste any paint made from Lindy's Bikini Magicals powder.
I used a scrap of Memory Box black glossy cardstock for Poppystamps Dream Butterfly. Isn't it striking against the golden shimmery background? I'll have a short video in my IG post soon. Very proud of myself for managing to score a 1/2 sheet of cream cardstock that was on my table. Had to go slow & keep pushing it back into place, but it worked! I was also able to stamp the sentiment from Poppystamps Hope and Thanks in Versafine Clair Nocturne using my Mini MISTI with a sticky sheet. I truly thank all of you for your support & well wishes. To finish my card, I added 3 Memory Box Fairy Jewels in just the right color to tie into the background. I'm also entering Snippets Playground & SSS Wednesday challenge.
Typing only with my right hand takes forever, as does pretty much everything else these days. But I know it's temporary & hopefully will be well worth it. I'm progressing as expected. Thank you for your continued visits, but I totally understand those who don't. I'll leave comments as I can, but realistically, most will be after I heal.
Two lovely cards Greta. So glad you’re progressing well following your surgery.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for coming to play in the Snippets Playground with your pretty butterfly card xxx
Beautiful cards, Greta! I especially love the picket fence one!! That layout is so perfect for those gorgeous die-cut flowers! So glad you're able to do some crafting while you're recovering :) Sending lots of healing vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteLook at you getting crafty ~ yay! You put those pre-made pieces to great use on both of your pretty cards, Greta. So happy you could play along at Poppystamps this month!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful, Greta, and you are amazing to be back at your craft desk and doing as much as you are! You should be really pleased with yourself ~ nothing keeps you down for long! I wish you continued smooth healing, but don't overdo, my friend! Hugs, Darnell

Look at you! Where there's a will, there's a way and you figured it out. Your cards are wonderful, Greta. I love the picket fence and those soft colors from the Lindy's. The butterfly pops against that bright yellow. Maybe now that he's helping, hubby might want to craft right along with you! Glad you are on track with your healing.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so pretty, Greta, but that picket fence card is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear you are making progress and doing what you can. Two pretty special cards. Thanks for sharing them. I particlarly like the butterfly on the sparkly yellow background xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Greta - I'm so glad you're recovering from your surgery well. Amazing what we can do when the need to create arises! Hope all is well with Hubby and also Fritz!

I wish I could make such beautiful and "different" cards with both my hands, let alone just one. Gorgeous cards Greta.
ReplyDeleteHi Greta! I love that clean butterfly - the yellow and black together.. it's a show stopper!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly card is outstanding. I love both cards but the butterfly one is just striking. The jewels add the extra special touch too!
