Doc gave me some pills to try and calm down the colicky spasms (which have worked a little bit) and then did a reasonably good Dracula impersonation by taking more than a few blood samples. All have gone off for various tests. Results in the next couple of days so we will have to wait and see. I am NOT a good patient - I hate being ill! DH has the patience of a Saint.......
I did manage to finish off a couple of cards (which didn't require me to THINK just stick!)
This was one of those 'am not sure' cards when it was finished but it has grown on me a little.
The papers are as old as me I think - distressed and stitched onto brown card then layered onto a lighter dark beige base. I cheated as the paper was 6" square and I only had one sheet left so just sliced it across the middle and positioned it top and bottom!
Rifled about in the lace baskets and found a few odd bits, layered it over and under some strips of scrap (I punched out scalloped edges).
Two die cut stems from an odd bit of cream card and a rose from my stash.
Finished with a scrap of the base paper, a tiny pearl button and some bronze pearls.
The sentiment was simply cut from an odd sheet of paper which had all different random words on it.
Lots of bits used so am sharing this in the Playground this week too.

Gorgeous! Love this shabby chic look, with all the ruffles and flowers. It's really beautiful. I hope you'll feel better soon:)
Viv, so sorry to hear you are having this problem. I can just guess it's not lots of fun, and frustrating to not know what's the cause. Tummy problems are very distressing and debilitating too. I loved this card, probably mostly because of that lovely vintage rose paper. It made me think of a 'kinder, gentler time', and good thinking to 'stretch it' as you did. Worked a treat, with the pretty lace, button & flowers...just right for the vintage touch. Liked the way you tucked those die cut stems too. My kinda card, f'r sure! TFS & I hope you get to feeling better very soon.
Sorry you're not feeling much better yet Viv, healing thoughts heading your way! Your card is beautiful, I too am an owner of those papers, have had them forever lol! xx
I'm running well late this week Viv, internet remain a nightmare !!
