My card today is for my brother in law. Following his stroke last year he is very unsteady on his feet and two weeks ago he overbalanced and fell backwards. Initially they thought he had just broken the coccyx (tail bone) but unfortunately it turns out that it is the pelvis which has been damaged, which accounts for the severe pain and how ill he is feeling. It will be about three months more before it heals. Poor chap is certainly having more than his fair share of bad luck.
My Card

My card is 6 " x 6" and the papers and digi image are all from Clear Dollar Stamps "Rainy Days" and the papers were pieces from my bit box so I can go back and play in the playground with the other playmates. The image was diecut with SB Large Classsic Squares and matted onto SB Lacy Squares. I computer generated the sentiment onto the cloud image. A very simple card but I love this little duck with his wellies and umbrella. I then just added some bakers twine and a few gems to finish it off. Oops nearly forgot - also added some "blobs" a la Ollie's Mam!
That's it from me. Short and sweet today!
After some unpleasant comments I have had to apply Comment Moderation I hope you will understand.

Good morning Christine, gosh it never "rains but it pours" so sorry to hear about your brother. Patience, patience and even more patience needed and men are not good at that are they??
ReplyDeleteYou have made a beautiful, bright fun card that I am sure will brighten his day.
We were very lucky with the weather over the weekend, no rain, plenty of sunshine but rather chilly. Not complaining really but just a "tad" warmer would be nice........can't have everything as they say!!!
Have a good day
Hugs

ReplyDeleteOh dear your poor brother in law, I feel for him, as I fell backwards onto my coccyx bone a couple of weeks ago so I know how painful this type of injury is.

ReplyDeleteHi Christine. A fabulous card. A pity about your BIL bad luck. I can't believe people have left nasty comments on your blog. That's terrible. Well I wish you all best wishes. Love Lea x
ReplyDeleteJust saw this sweetie duck at another blog, and what a versatile image he is. So very cute, and I love the way you have him all dressed up here. The DP is so pretty with his cute little self, and your coloring is great. Liked the pearls you added, along with the sparkling rhinestones too. This should cheer up your poor BIL immensely. I can just imagine how sore he must be feeling, and then to fall. My goodness. Hope the remaining healing goes with no further upsets. TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Christine, I am sure it would have brightened up your Brother-in-Laws day, such bad luck he's having. Hope he's better soon and not in too much pain.
ReplyDeleteLoved your chocolate box too, very pretty.
Love & Hugs
