Take Care


 While rummaging through my snippets, I found some random scraps of paper and cardstock to put this card together. I started with the white square placed on the black and white dsp, then framed around it with strips of grey. I die cut the Darice Daisy stem with scraps of pastel green, yellow, and black and placed it on the card, adding a twine bow and some black Nuvo drops. The Simon Says Stamp sentiment was die cut from the same snippet of yellow and I called this one done.

I'll share this card with the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a good week ahead.
 If I disappear for a while, it's because I'm having serious computer issues. Now I've lost all sound on my computer and all efforts to restore it have failed so far. I think the gremlins have taken over this machine and are making life interesting for sure. Clearly I'm still unable to link websites within the text and now I'm being booted offline randomly as well. I hope to be back again soon in good working order.

No one would ever guess that this lovely card was made from some random bits and pieces - they all coordinate nicely. Shame about the computer problems - such a pain when that happens, makes you feel so 'cut off' I find 🙄

Brenda in IN said...

There is nothing worse than computer issues. I feel cut off from the world when that happens. I hope it can be resolved soon for you. Your card is lovely.

The linking issue must be one of Bloggers so called improvements as several have mentioned the same.

I really do like your card, black and yellow make for such a lovely colour palette and it's just perfect for our Allsorts theme this week, lovely to see you again, many thanks.

Never would have guessed this was a planned card, it all goes together beautifully. Great use of the technique too. Thank you for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.

Sorry to hear about the computer probs - so annoying.

Diane said...

A beautifully created fractured card, one of my favorite techniques. The same gremlins have invaded me too as trying to add links and trying to enlarge my pictures on blogger are a fail every time, it is so maddening so I feel your frustrations!!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Triple B!

Well done using all your scraps with the fractured technique, I have never tried it. The colours and the paper you used are so striking! It's an elegant and modern card, suitable for both masculine or feminine recipients! Love the sweet font of the sentiment!
Sending you big hugs and love dear friend! Hope to see you soon again around!

Super card Carol, great colour choice.
Sorry to hear you are having problems with your computer. Blogger seems to have a few glitches too at the moment, which can’t be helping. Hope everything is sorted out soon.
