Hello and welcome, Glad you could stop by. I haven't posted for a while because of my back issues. Can't sit for very long in my craft chair. So, I'm happy to get this card finished and posted.
This card will be sent to one of my nieces. She has been struggling with cancer for several years now and now on top of everything she has shingles. I personally have never had shingles but have heard that it's pretty painful.
So, I'm hoping this card will bring a smile to her and let her know that I'm thinking of her.
I am so bad at not using my patterned papers, so I made myself go through some floral ones and found this one. I thought it was pretty.
This was my first time using the heart die. I've had it for a good while. I know that I won it but can't remember from who. The sentiment is from Spellbinders and the die is from S.U. The cardstocks were in my scraps. I colored a white ribbon with an alcohol marker from Arrtx.
Thanks for stopping by. Happy day to you!

It's a beautiful floral card with the pretty papers, I am sure it will cheer her up! I had the shingles in 2024, it was horrible so I feel for her, wishing her a fast recovery, it took a year for mine to go away 100%.

ReplyDeleteCindy, your niece will love this card. I’m so sorry for all that she is going through. My mom had shingles and it was indeed very painful. It’s so nice as card makers to be able to lift people spirits a bit with something as simple as a handmade card. Sending you hugs for your back pains as well. Glad that you were able to make this sweet card however. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
