Sending you Joy and Cheer

Good morning all.

Ouch!!! Not sure what I've done but my back is killing me....can't sit, can't stand and can't lie comfortably...so please forgive me if my comments are brief.

Sharing today the card I made for September's Card Chain Challenge, this went to Gail in Norway.


The background was created using promarkers and rubbing alcohol, this was then die cut with my favourite die from Wplus9. Sentiments die and stamps are from Simon Says Stamp.

Challenges entered:
AAA - word play
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - World Cardmaking Day
Craft Your Passion - anything goes
Sweet Stamps - anything goes

    My back has gone out in sympathy too today Carol.
    I love this card, the detail of the background against the blue of the sentiment works brilliantly.

    Hugs Erika. x

    Just catching up with everybody Carol, can't seem to fit everything in to one day :/ Sorry to hear you are still having troubles with your back, I do hope you get it sorted soon, it's so miserable to be in pain like that.
    On to your card though and I love the background you have created using your Promarkers, how clever and very effective too. A great CAS design as always.

    Love the backdrop that you created for the sentiment - it looks like watercolour - so amazing what you did with alcohol ink! I hope your back is recovering well and that you can get back to crafting quickly :) Thanks so much for playing along at AAA Cards! Jill
