Elegant Post

The stamps used in theis card is from the stamp set Elegent Post which was designed by Nina Brackett it can be bought from Gina K It is a fun setwhich can be used for mose occasions.

I used Memento Ink to stamp out the images then coloured the flowers and leaves using Copic sketch markers.

A Big Thank You

A big thank you for all the wonderful comments made on my previous post, I have had the PUVA treatment before with good results so that is why I am so eager to have it again.

I have also been on Methotrexate for my arthritis and yes this drug did help but unfortunately I had to be took off it for health reasons, I feel like the light at the end of a tunnel knowing that my treatment will soon start.

On another note I had no idea so many of you out there suffered with psoriasis, nasty little devil that it is, also I empathise with those of you that hide away as I do the same, often apologise when handing money to shop assistants in case they think it is catching, often try to hide it away hoping that know one will notice it.

I hope you all have a scratch free night and some ease from the tightness it causes.

My News

I have had a real battle on my hands suffering with psoriasis in fact I don't think I have one part of my body that hasn't got a patch of sore cracked skin, from the top of my head down to the soles of my feet.

I went to see the consultant who was very nice and gave me a carrier bag full to the brim of potions and lotions to apply but in reality said that I needed Ultra Violet light treatment but unfortunately there is a waiting list for it.

After waiting a few weeks today I got the call to say that they now have a place for me and that I will start my new PUVA treatment on 8th September.

For those that have never seen what it is like to live with Psoriasis I've added a few pictures of what my skin is like at the moment.

it is supposedly caused by stress I had mine pretty much under control until Dad passed away last October

Lamb note book from Punches

Continuing with the note books I stumbled across a tutorial to make this cute lamb and it was super easy a scalloped circle a small oval 3 little flowers I used a teardrop punch for the ears but the tutorial used a small circle cut into half and the word slot punch for the legs.

I backed the note book in red card added a black and white polka dot paper and a red polka dot ribbon and I was done.

original tutorial can be found here

Iced Fleur De Li's Pendant

Because this card is white on white is was really difficult to get a good picture you will see it much better if you click on the image to enlarge it.

It was made with the spellbinders pendant die Fleur de Li's I made one earlier this month in Red and Kraft card.

Attention to Detail...

I used crushed glass glitter on the pendant die and the snowflakes to enhance them.
