I couldn't sleep tonight so I decided to get up and work on a card. I had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from my right arm today. They took a really good sized chunk so now it's aching a bit. I guess the stuff they used to numb it wore off. May have to hit up the pain reliever.
I was in the mood for a really girly card with lots of lace and flowers. This card met the idea.
The image is from Elizabeth Bell. The papers are from Bearly Mine Designs. I recently visited their site for the first time. I can see this is going to cost me some money. They have lots of gorgeous digi papers. The one I chose for this card has faux stitching on it. I was really attracted to the pretty pastels.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts; I edged them all with stickles The ribbon and lace are from good old Walmart. I left the inside rather plain. Mainly because I was aching more and just wanted to get done. Maybe tomorrow I will go and add something to it. I colored it with Copics
Copics: B32, B34, B37, C00, C0, C1, C3, E00, E11, E15, E17, E35, E51, E53, G14, R20, R21, R24, V17, Y11, Y15, Y18, YR21
