Forgive me for a short post today. I've somehow managed to hurt my right arm, wrist. and hand and am typing with my left hand only. Not easy, but I figured I should go ahead and get used to one handed tasks; Laila will be occupying a lot of my space soon enough! :) Jen M. is our host at Freshly Made Sketches this week and challenged us with this fun sketch.
I'm having a renewed love affair with my Fun Flowers die lately! I paired it with another old favorite, the Beautiful Wings embosslit. I needed a pretty card for a good friend's birthday and I hope she liked this one.
Be sure to check out all the fun interpretations by the design team! We are also having a call for guest designers, so check that out too!
Finally, my husband is having his gall bladder removed today, so keep us in your thoughts.
It's beautiful Rita... hope everything goes well with you and your husband!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful flower you created!!!

ReplyDeleteLove these colors together! The flower is gorgeous - and you are doing great "for a one-armed paper hanger" as my dad would say :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Rita! So fresh and pretty! I will say a prayer for your hand and arm and your husband.
ReplyDeleteLovely card and take on the sketch! I am sure your friend will love her card. I am lovin the bold orange against the light blue and wonderful texture on the butterflies. Keeping your husband in my thoughts and prayers as he goes through his surgery and wishing him a speedy recovery.
