Hello everyone. I am delighted to be able to start posting again. I have missed everyone!
Still no definative diagnosis but the doctor is thinking an autoimmune disease is what may be causing the recurrent inflamation and fibrosis around the lining of my lungs and heart. It's a waiting game!!!
But for now - pain is at a minumum and I can take fairly good breathes! Life is good! :D
And now - it's time to share a card I created for The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday. Our new challenge is to create any kind of fold card! I love fold cards. They can really step up a card!
I used one of my favorite autumn stamps for the pumpkin focal image called Signs of Autumn from Gina K Designs. I used a marbleized technique for my background. I added grass and I was in business!
I used the wonderful new stamp called Farmer Joe for the inside focal image. The stamp is Farmer Joe by Tina Wenke and can be found at SP & Company.
I used am impressed background technique to create the landscape and clouds.
I hope you like this card and if you want to join us for our challenge - it will run for one week. I hope to see you there!
I am linking this card with the following challenges:
- The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday - Anything Goes (twist optional - fold card)
- Make It Monday - Anything Goes
- Chocolate, Coffee and Cards - Autumn - Not Halloween
- Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
Take care, my friends!
I will be back with another post tomorrow - Hope to see you soon!
