I mentioned yesterday that life has been a bit stressful. A couple of Fridays ago, I woke up to the news that my Dad had been taken to hospital after his ICD unit kicked in – there was apparently an issue with his heart medication that caused the problem. He was out of hospital the following day, but that was a bit of a shock (ha!). At the same time, we were also noticing some issues with our dog. After a couple of trips to the vet and a particularly bad “episode” last Friday, we realised she was having minor seizures. Alongside the vets we are trying to figure out why, and it looks like she has an issue with her liver.
With all that has been going on, along with everyday stuff, I have been pretty exhausted, hence the lack of posts here! Things seem to be stabilising though, and we’re hoping we can figure out a way forward for the dog. So, here I am!
I didn’t get chance to post my Bellariffic Friday card yesterday as I planned – I got caught up in some colouring for a project that is due next week. So, here it is!
Love the Diane Duda stamps, the sentiments they convey are lovely, and there is a beautiful whimsy in Diane’s artwork. Plus, they are a nice size for colouring! This one is THE WAY YOU MOVE (UK readers – the Diane Duda stamps are available at Quixotic Paperie).
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured with ShinHan Touch Twin Markers. The designer paper is from the beautiful Prima Marketing Inc Fairy Rhymes 6×6 pad. I distressed the edges of all the layers and the diecuts with an Acrylic Paint Dabber in Snow Cap. The diecut branches behind the image are the Dies by SCACD Breezy Branches Statement Corner.

Lovely card, she would look great on Mixed Media canvas. I love the image and sentiment. Beautiful coloring too.
