More gold

My sister in laws birthday is coming up and this is the card I made for her. I used an Alexandra Renke
 die for the flowers and a Poppy Stamps Grand Stick Frame cut from the panel. It took me hours to make this card and everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I am not fully back yet and kept doing weird things. Pickup up the Misty and put the paper in, then realized I meant to get the paper trimmer. I knocked over the tub with Distress Inks twice and had them all over. Cut the gold c/s when I meant to cut the white and vice versa Messed up when I gold embossed the sentiment from Hero Arts. I'm glad this card is done. I can't seem to think and figure things out anymore. I hope that comes back to me.

Cleaning is just putting stuff in less obvious places.




Be kind to one another.

I'm so sorry things are going wrong for you, but don't worry - sometimes things just go like that for a time and then resolve themselves. I wonder if Mercury isn't in retrograde or something? I'm sure your SIL will love this in spite of all the mishaps along the way of creating it. The gold flowers look beautiful!

That brain fog from Covid is said to last long after the other symptoms are gone. Your card is very elegant and I'm sure your sister-in-law loves it. I love that AR die!

Lovely card. I hope your brain fog lifts soon. We just need some sunny days instead of the dreary, cloudy days.

Oh wow--your efforts paid off! This is so striking & beautiful & unexpected! Love it, Brenda! Don't worry--you just need more time to recover from the virus. Thanks for your encouragement & caring. I'll let you know how the surgery goes.

Well, hi! Sorry to be late, Brenda. I came to check for a Wednesday post; I didn't think you had done one on Sunday. I'm also sorry that you experienced a cluster of clutziness when making this card. In spite of that, you made a fantastic card for her and I'm sure she will/did love it! I certainly love it! I hope each day you feel a little more like yourself and less foggy. It's hard to be patient and wait for Covid to fully leave your system. Big hugs, Darnell

Wow, gorgeous card Brenda! I love that cut out, so cool and unique looking. The flowers are just as cool looking and of course I am loving the gold. Ahhh, we all get days like that don't we? Nothing goes right. I've gotten to the point I can't hold onto things and am dropping things like mad. My mind is scrambled all the time and I haven't had Covid! I spend way to much time being in a fog anymore. Keep persevering to keep the mind active and I'm sure it will come back to you! Sending prayers my friend! Hugs, Brenda
