Die-licious

Good morning all.
I hope you are all well.
I have still got my rash and it seems to be spreading, i have no idea what has caused it, maybe something in the garden when i was weeding it? or maybe the upvc cream i used to clean the outside windows?
Anyhoo enough of my itchy bits and on to my quickie card which i am entering into the following challenges:
1.As You Like It Challenge - Fav style of stitching and why (for me it has to be faux, i did buy a small sewing machine but i just can`t stitcj straight and i wasted so many pretty papers trying.Faux stitching is just quicker, prick you paper and join up the dots, plus no electricity required)
2.Glitter N Sparkle Challenge - Challenge 80 - Anything but square
3.Partytime Tuesdays Challenge - Challenge 168 - Diecuts
4.Crafty Creations Challenge - Challenge 261 - White and 1 other (blue)
5.MAWTT Challenge - A card containing the word happy.

Products used are:
White card
Papermana Parisienne papers
Faux stitching
Go Create circle and scallop circle dies
Sue Wilson die
Tonic Happy Birthday die
Pearls
Hobbyhouse roses
Stonewash ink
Sparkle and shine spray 

I really wish you could see the sparkle.

and a sideways view.
Thanks so much for looking,it means a lot :D
Hugs Nic.

Oh dear, I remember I while back that I came out in a rash when I was taking Clarityn Antihistamine tablets and they reacted with other medication that I am taking, so the Doctor changed mine to Levocetirizine and they have helped.

Nic gorgeous card love the design your pretty papers and the useful tip on faux stitching. you need to go the doctors about your rash he can either give you some cream or some antihistamine tablets as you are obviously allergic to something. Hope you have a good Easter break love Alison xx

Viv said...

a really pretty card Coops - could be either the weeding or the upvc cream that caused your rash - some E45 cream will stop you itching if nothing else!
Hope it doesn't spoil your Easter weekend.

Gorgoeus card Nic.
My fave colours, love the shape and yes I agree, faux stitching is by far the better option for me too. I bought a sewing machine but it seems to have a mind of its own!

Hope the itching stops soon!

Big hugs
