DAY - TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE - a painted birthday card

Good morning Despite the weather forecast of showers all day today, I know it is going to be a lovely day.  The gardens need the rain and it stops me from doing bits and bobs out there which means I get to spend the day in the craft room.  I am so looking forward to this.

I havent been the best over the last couple of days.  As I have had cellulitus and been on Antibiotics I havent been able to take my Rhumatoid Arthritus medication.  This is turn has caused me to have a 'flare up' where all my joints dont work, cause a lot of pain and the arthritus takes hold, so awful.  I shouldnt have an injection until at least a week after the antibiotics finish but after talking to my rheumy nurse she told me to go for it.  The injection wont work as well as it should but I will get some relief and fortunatly today, I do feel a lot better, phew.  The things we go through but as my daughter says, iI am  only poorly for a few days so I can cope with it. 

Here is a card that I made and sent recently

The stamp is a very old one from my stash, one of those that you can never part with.  I stamped this on Stampin' Up! Fluid 100 Watercolor Card and then painted it.  The image was put on a mat of Basic Black card before using dimensionals/3d Foam Pads to put it on a Crushed Curry base card.  I added a little bit of Bumblebee ribbon which I thought was rather apt.  The sentiment was generated on the computer and I am so pleased that she loved this.  I will certainly have another go at stamping on watercoloured card as I so enjoyed making this.

Off to start my day but thank you so much for having a read.  Enjoy your Thursday.  Tracey x
