Sentiments in focus at Allsorts


Morning Peeps, time for our new Allsorts challenge and this week Helene would like to see our 'Sentiments in Focus'. We have a lovely set of sentiment stamps from Bee Crafty for this weeks weeks lucky winner. 

 A pretty plain and simple card from me this week, perhaps reflects the mood of the moment, I've been struggling for mojo as the six week withdrawal from the 'heavy' meds has been pretty horrendous, muscle cramps, shivers, insomnia and back to almost 24/7 migraines. So after much thought on 18th April I go to hospital for the first course of Botulinum, 32 injections in my face and head. I know nothing will get rid of them completely but if they work they should reduce the number of migraines, then it's the same again every three months, but I'm at the stage where I'll give almost anything a go.

 So back to my card, I sat myself down with a favourite sentiment and some poppies to see where it took me and this is the result. Not a lot to explain really, the base card was in a pack I picked up at Doncaster show in the Autumn from Which Craft which make quite an elegant card, the sentiment and the Poppies are from Inkylicious.

 Happy weekend all.

    Sounds horrid with 32 injections, but hopefully they will lift some pain away.

    Hi dear Brenda, I'm so sorry for your last weeks... :( and also for the treatments that are waiting you, 32 botulinum injections in face and head sound just horrendous!! But hopefully they will help you with your migraines!! Be strong my friend!
    Your card is very elegant and love the aperture that shown the lovely poppies and the awesome sentiment! The three sequins are just perfect to keep the eyes to the focal point and the window layer is very interesting.
    Biggest hugs ever! Hope you could enjoy your weekend!
