Me again

I'm posting this card I made a while ago and I don't think I've shared it yet. It is a Hero Arts cling stamp. I embossed it in white, then painted in the colors but I don't remember what I used to do it. The birthday greeting is embossed in white also and a twine bow  was added.



I am really so much better with my wrists. But when it rains, it pours. That tale of all things coming in threes has certainly worked out for me! I just had surgery to remove three bothersome things off my body. A epidermold infundibular  cyst on my cheek and a seborrheic keratosis on my breast and waist. Got my stitches out yesterday and things are good. The one on my waist is going to be hard to heal since my clothes rub on it and it is still open and raw. TMI. Then, also yesterday, when I was eating lunch the bridge on the upper left side of my mouth fell out! This leaves me somewhat, well, toothless. I can assure you it is not a good look for me. I see now why they say getting old is not for sissies. It is work just to stay in the game!

Be kind to one another.

That is a beautiful card and so glad you shared it. And, I am so sorry for all the health issues that are popping up all at the same time. I can understand that only too well. I seem to be doing okay right now but then who knows what tomorrow will bring. Sometimes these golden years are a bit tarnished. LOL

I love this stamp and this reminds me that I haven't used it in a long time. Seems like there's not enough time to use the new stuff and keep using the loved old stuff! Maybe I should stop buying and just use the old? Nah....

Like you say, when it rains it pours! Hope you can get that bridge fixed quickly. Hope there's a fix to it. Better days are ahead. Your three things are up hopefully! xoxo

So sorry you have more mishaps of a medical kind. Growing old is not much fun. They didn’t tell us that in the manual!!
Love your card. Colours blend well together. I had a blood test beginning of week and get the results tomorrow. My shoulder is really giving me sleepless nights. Hugs Mrs A.

This is such a beautiful card, Brenda! You certainly are getting the lion's share there Brenda. You should stop wearing the mom pants and find a pair of those jeans the kids wear that only go up to somewhere indecent, ha!

Greta said...

Oh you did make me laugh, Brenda--not at you, just with you, of course! Hope all is well soon! One of my favorite cards--absolutely love it! Great design & colors!

A fabulous card Brenda, beautiful flowers - so pretty.
It certainly sounds like you are having a tough time at the moment, hopefully now you have had three things it will start to improve.
