Just A Bunch of Random Cards I Made
Hi Everybody! Thank y'all for welcoming me back! You guys are the best. I'm sorry I haven't been blogging. I've been sidelined with an upper respiratory infection the day after I got home from my trip! Cough, cough, cough! Argghh! I really hate being sick. The cough is better but now my head is stuffed up! I think that's worse than coughing.
Anyway. . .all I've been doing is lying in bed feeling sorry for myself. Today I decided maybe blogging will keep me from thinking about my stuffed up head., runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, and coughing.
I made these two cards before I left on my trip to Vegas but didn't have time to post. I can't remember what Stampin Up stamp set this image came from. I know it's a retired one.
I colored the image using markers and an aquapainter on watercolor paper. Rounded the edge with a round corner punch and embossed the background with the CB embossing folder.
Card Details:
Stamps: SU unknown
Paper: Rose Romance, Cranberry Crisp, watercolor paper
Ink: SU Markers and aquapainter
Accessories: Making Memories charm, silver metallic cord, SU Purely Pomegrantate satin ribbon, Marvy Round corner punch, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
This is the same image but a completely different layout and design. I used a bunch of scraps to create the background. The scallops were created using Fiskar "cloud" scissors.
The little heart at the top left corner is actually a brad. I can't remember what brand because it's a scrap piece I had lying around. The photo corner was created using SU Photo Corner punch and I decorated it with little dots using a paper piercer.
Basically the whole card except the base card was made out of little scraps I had.
Hopefully I'll feel better later today. I have a big announcement that I'm excited about but I want to blog about it when I'm feeling "happier" so it reflects in my writing. I tend to write the way I feel and right now. . .I feel crappy!!! LOL!
Card Details:
Stamp: SU (unknown)
Paper: Miscellaneous scraps, SU Real Red, Black
Ink: SU Markers and aquapainter
Accessories: Fiskar "Cloud" scissors, SU Photo Corner Punch, Paper Piercer

I'm so sorry you are so sick!! The only saving grace is that you waited until you got home, I guess - (if there is a saving grace to being sick)
Your cards are always so cute Maria! Can't believe my computer actually let me on to leave a comment!!
Sorry to hear that you're sick!! I hope you feel better. Despite the illness, it's good that it happened after you got home. Lots of rest!
As always your card's just gorgeous!

Sorry you're unwell. Hope you're feeling better very soon. I just spent most of the time between now and Christmas getting over a really horrid flu bug. Wasn't fun.
Awwww...I'm so sorry that you aren't feeling well Maria! It's a real bummer when you have to stay in bed due to an illness. I hope you feel better soon. I think both versions of your card are awesome!
