I used a new Christmas embossing folder from Sheena Douglass, brayered over it very gently with Versamark then embossed with WOW embossing powder. I think I need a bit more practise at the technique as I got some ink in the middle of the leaves.
It's time for another Roy update - he's now walking unaided and is getting a little bit of use back into his right hand. That will be an ongoing process for about a year as all the nerves were damaged. The even better news is that they are hoping to do a home visit in the next two weeks to see what help he will need and all being well they think he should be home by the end of August. I can't wait!
Lovely work Sue, an elegant card, thanks for popping over, Shaz in Oz.x

Glad the glasses were a success - I spent three quarters of an hour in the pharmacy and still came away with only two of the three items on my prescription so I have to go back on Friday. And while I was in there they dealt with two lost prescriptions and one lost parcel. It's chaos in there!
DeleteJust beautiful! Such an elegant card, super technique. xx

It looks fabulous, Sue. Love that large corner motif, and your embossing looks just fine to me. Excellent combination of your colors to create such an icy feeling. So pleased to hear that things on the home front are going forward in a happy way also. Take care, and TFS & joining in with Rudolph Day. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWow Sue....this is beautiful....I bought the embossing folder but haven't tried it yet...you have inspired me! xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh Sue, I'm so happy for you and Roy. He will be so much happier at home and you won't be running back and forth. It sounds like he is making progress in his recovery and will continue to do so. This is a stunning card. I was wow'ed when I saw it. The soft colors and the shine to it, oh my, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSue, this is really spectacular! I'm not quite wrapping my head around how you did it, but I sure do love it! And I'm so delighted to hear that Roy is making such wonderful progress on his recovery! I pray that he continues apace so that he can come home as soon as possible!! Huge hugs, Darnell
