Happy Sunday all. Well I finally went to the docs on Thusday and he put me on a course of Prednisolone (oral steroids) as well as increasing the strength of my inhalers and I have to say I feel so much better. It feels like months since I've actually been able to breathe properly and you really don't realise how bad it's got sometimes until you feel the contrast. Not sure I could run a marathon but I feel marvelous!
Anyhoo......it's the 2nd Sunday in the month already (where did it go?!) and that means it's time for our Lovely Lili challenge at The Ribbon Girl.......except that we're having a bit of a change and now it's a 'Use Any Image' challenge.
So you can make whatever you want, be it cards, mixed media, altered art etc, as long as it has an image on it. Of course you can still use your LotV stamps if you wish.
Our theme this week is
'Birthday'

easy right?
For my card I've used a new digi stamp from Saturated Canary, it's called Inked Pretty, isn't she gorgeous?
I couldn't wait to colour her up when she was sent to me by the lovely Krista from Saturated Canary. The wonderful perks of being a guest on her Design Team :) I coloured her with distress ink markers to match these lovely LotV papers. Yes I know, I've used this pad a lot recently, I just LOVE it!
I used the following colours
Skin: Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Worn Lipstick, Victorian Velvet
Hair: Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs
Top and Tattoo: Victorin Velvet, Worn Lipstick, Shabby Shutters
I stamped a little birthday sentiment in the space below the image, with Momento Ink in Rich Cocoa.
I inked all my edges with Walnut Stain distress ink and then distressed and stitched the layers. I added lots of fab embellishments from the Ribbon Girl.
Finally I decorated the inside to coordinate with the front and shabbied the whole thing up with some gesso.

So pretty, love the colours and it goes perfectly with that background paper (which is one of my favourites too) The image is really nice and you've coloured it beautifully - so glad to hear you are feeling a bit better!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better Linda, nothing worse than not being able to breathe properly, it drains your whole body and makes you feel exhausted. Hopefully these pills will sort it out quickly.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card as always with the beautiful image and your colouring of it. The papers are a favourite of mine also and I hope to replace the pad when I visit the NEC soon.
Take care and enjoy your Sunday,
Lorraine

Such a gorgeous card Linda, I love the sweet image and stunning detailing.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased that the Pednisolone is starting to help you. I know some of the side effects are not pleasant but worth it to be able to breath properly again.
Take care, hugs Sue xx
