I have been missing in action for what seems like ages
but I have been sick as a parrot.
First I got a V & D virus.
That floored me for a couple of days.
Then I got a head cold immediately after
and it has since become a sinus infection.
I am worn out completely.
Finally got an antibiotic yesterday
and don't start me on the hurdles
I had to jump to get speaking to
a doctor. Seriously!!
But hopefully I will be on the mend
by Monday and play a bit of catch up.
It's time for my midway post for our
Spring Flowers/anything goes at
For my tag I punched out a plain piece of card
with my Best Trio Punch (SU) and rounded
the bottom corners too.
I then inked the background in blue ink.
Next I used an old SU stencil to add some
crystal paste to two corners.
I then stamped the other two corners using
a stamp set from Visible Image called
Grunge Tones in yellow.
I stamped, coloured and die cut the flowers
and teapot using a set called Country Flowers (SU).
Before sticking in place I stamped the small
flowers in black.
I finished with a ribbon.
I would like to enter this into
**************************************
For my ATC I used two stamp sets called
Timeless Tulips and Fable Friends.
I created the background by mixing inks
from IndigoBlu and Distress inks.
I brushed some gold ink around the edges
and then stamped, coloured and cut the tulips
using markers.
I stuck them in place then splattered some
white ink over the top.
I stamped and cut the sentiment
and placed over the flowers.
I hope you get time to join us and be sure
to pop over the blog to check out
Lynn and Brenda's beautiful makes.
This lovely prize is up for grabs!!

Two pretty floral reminders at mid-month for the Tag-along challenge . Sorry to hear you've been feeling ill and don't get me started on the number of hoops we have to jump through to contact local surgeries and GP's - it's virtually impossible and made even worse when you are feeling absolutely rotten 🙄🙄. Hope you pick up very soon.
What a lovely burst of spring energy after such a rough stretch for you. The soft blue inking sets such a calm foundation, and the mix of crystal paste and yellow grunge stamping gives the corners so much life and texture. The teapot and flowers look beautifully colored and placed, and those tiny black blossoms tucked behind them add just the right touch of depth. The rounded tag shape and ribbon finish everything with a gentle, polished feel. A bright, cheerful make that feels like a little dose of recovery all on its own.
I appreciate your visit to my blog and the kind words you shared. I hope you will stop by again soon.
I love this ATC, beautiful Pinky it really is.
Sorry you have been ill, nothing worse and as for the doctors now forget it, its a nightmare and will only get worse. At least you now have some meds, fingers crossed you will start to feel better soon my friend, take care. xx
I hope this is the end of it all Pinky and you begin to feel better very soon. Your tag is so pretty witht hat lovely stamp and the delicate blue background. Your ATC has a wonderful inky background and your tulips looks fab on it with the splattering.
Love the pretty teapot full of flowers but my favourite is the tulips. Hope you feel better soon when the antibiotics kick in---speaking of Drs Helen has not been good this last week-you can no longer ring for an appointment, you have to fill in an online form which then told her it was urgent and to ring the surgery? Who then told her they would fill in the form for her and get back if she could have an appointment-is still waiting for a response and now out of meds-absolutely ridiculous!!!!

So it's the same with GP's in NI as well Pinky, ours equally appalling, mind you the word Covid down the phone got them jumping. Do hope the antibiotics lick in quickly for you.
Two pretty Spring makes for our challenge.

xx

So sorry you been crook Pinky, I do hope you are on the way to good health now and feeling better..your tag is gorgeous but your ATC is stunning, the depth, it looks 3D, I love the background and those tulips just popping off the page, beautiful..
luv CHRISSYxx
Oh so sorry Pinky to learn you have been poorly l hope you feel much better soon, both your creations are so pretty as always x
Oh my! That is a tough way to start spring creating, but you've certainly pulled it off! Your tag and ATC are so lovely and full of bright, happy energy. Thanks for sharing with us at The Outlawz Anything but a Card. Katrina
Oh heck. . . sorry to hear how poorly you've been and that you had to jump through so many hoops to get help. Hope you're on the mend now.
I adore your ATC with the tulips - it's so atmospheric, and your shaped tag is so full of Spring. Gorgeous work. xxx
Both Tag and ATC are full of Spring inspiration Pinky, love the bright colours of the tag and the background on your tulip ATC I agree with Sarn it's so atmospheric, kinda out of this world.
I hope you are on the mend now, the Spring sunshine has great healing properties. Take care of yourself Hugs Tracey x
Gorgeous makes. Ive decided the doctors surgery now make it so difficult to contact them to put most of us off, last infection I had after filling out the online form it took them 4 days to respond even thought Im on immune suppressants.....by which time the hospital had to intervene - surely costing wayyyyyyyy more in the long run! We also seem to only have about a 30 min window to fill out the triage form before the daily total has been reached and we have to try again the following morning....and this is progress! lol
p.s forgot to say hope you are feeling much better now x
