I nearly didn’t get this card finished last night, I was out walking the dogs with my friend last night and Roxy had her silly hat on and kept on tripping me up – well I went a good’un last night and did my back in good and proper (and it was just starting to ease up with the acupuncture). So back on the morphine patches and painkiller cocktail again. Why I get dogs that can’t walk in a straight line is beyond me :( Poor old lady got her nose skinned (it was either that or I stand on her and break her back and trying to avoid that did my old back a canny bit damage again).
Enough whining! Pull yourself together girl! My card today is for the Lili of the Valley challenge which is Roses – my all time favourite challenge I have decided (I wonder why!!!). So I broke down and cut (hyperventilating here) into my precious store of the girls paperie papers for the card. OMG I just adore these papers so much and they are no more :( although Tracy at Dies to Die For does have some in stock (and I just stocked up on mine hee hee)
I have coloured Emma Swing with copics and the barest touch of mulberry prismacolor pencil on the pink. I pleated the lace just by sticking it down with red-line tape instead of stitching. Much quicker and easier to do. I heat embossed the corner metal embellishment and added some pearls to finish it off. The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts as is the seam binding and other embellies. Oh and the gorgeous scalloped border is a Memory Box die.
I have set up an Etsy shop and will list this card there tonight once I have taken better pics in the daylight as I took these last night with the light tent (hate that dratted thing lol).
Now for some real heart-melting pictures. My friends cavvie has had a litter of puppies – OMG they are just the sweetest little babies ever, and she kindly gave me permission to share the pics here! Talk about chocolate box puppies, these are they! ME WANT!!!!! I’ll have either Lydia, Lucy or Luca, I ain’t fussy lol.
Check out that Nylabone – it’s nearly as big as the puppy lol
I am soooo in love lol
Puppy heaven xxx
And that’s it from me today, I am having another acupuncture session this afternoon, hope it helps with the pain.
hugs

Hi Bev
ReplyDeletevery pretty card, & my fav colour PINK lol. Sorry to hear about your back, back pain is so miserable, it can really get you down (I know as I've suffered with mine for the last 40years), so I have complete empathy with you, hope the acupuncture helps. Love the puppy picture's.
Sending you HUGE healing hugs
Sandra (craftynan)
Oooooh Bev, hope your back pain eases for you. Those little puppies are so super adorable. Gorgeous card. Joey x
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Bev with so much gorgeous detail. Hope your back gets better soon and the puppy pics are adorable.
ReplyDeleteDiane :-) xx
Take care Bev - you're in the wars somewhat at present. Those little puppies look a real handful - but Bev - you really cannot have another one; on the other hand - it would add a bit of symmetry to the walkies - 2 batches of 4 - with two held in either hand??????? But maybe they'd be pulling in different directions.....oh the idea is just too mind boggling.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you
Paula (PEP)
Another beautiful card and gorgeous puppies as a bonus.
ReplyDeleteI can empathise with you about your back pain. I have Arthritis that has done permenant damage to my spine and I am on morphine full time. I find a Tens machine helps a lot and does not cost much to buy.
Aaaaawww Bev, the pics are too adorable! Good luck with your back session. Ruby x
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your back Bev, hope things soon settle down. Your card is beautiful as always and the puppy pictures are adorable.

ReplyDeleteStunning card Bev. Love that image, so beautifully coloured, and the embellishments are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your fall. I had a fall related to 2 Labradors about 3 weeks ago and my foot/ankle still doesn't feel right. My boys are only 10 1/2 months old but they weigh about 40kg each so you don't always have a choice about where you want to go lol!! Hope the acapuncture helps.
Kat x
BTW love your friend's puppies, they're so cute!
Hope you find some relief soon.
ReplyDeleteCute puppies. I love these dogs. My friend had two and they were just the sweetest things.

ReplyDeleteHi Bev, so sorry about your back, I have bad back problems too and use the morphine patches. I'm having injections in my back later this month 'cos I find they always help, not tried acupuncture yet though. Maybe I'll look into it,sounds like it's helping you.
