I want to say thank-you to everyone for all of your kind thoughts and get-well wishes. For those who didn't know, I had hip replacement surgery, but I'm on the mend and slowly regaining my strength and ability to walk again. I still have to be careful about bending and twisting, so the card making will be sporadic until I regain my flexibility again. Thanks for stickin' around all this time I've been AWOL :)I made this card before surgery but never posted it so I thought I'd share it with you today. I used the SU butterfly die along with some yellow and black dsp from PTI. I embossed the bottom layer of the butterfly with a CB ef and the tiny butterfly in the center was done with a MS punch. The scalloped border was done with a SU punch, and some black Kaiser pearls were added for accents. The sentiment is by Verve and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Ribbon is also by PTI. I sent this card to another blogger who is also about to undergo hip replacement surgery. You might say we're joined at the hip :)
Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for your patience. I'll gradually get back into the swing of things, but it's slow going for the time being. In the meantime, have a wonderful Sunday!
