You're one of a kind...

 I have been home sick for the last couple of days... bad head cold with runny nose and sore throat,  - did a RAT test... negative so that was good.   I haven't felt like doing much - a little sewing today - Today's card was made on Sunday when I was just starting to feel unwell.  Inspiration for this came from a Gina K 5 minute video.  Gina used rubber bands to make a plaid background.   I could not find my bag of rubber bands so improvised to make a plaid background with a stamp.  I used Catherine Pooler's Peppermint Stick background.  I stamped it firstly with Sweet Sixteen ink and turned it 45 degrees and stamped it with Mint To Be ink... 

Due to the way it was stamped, I cut it down and layered it onto purple and then onto the white card base.   I used some ephemera from an Anko set called Blooms Die Cuts - I got this from K-Mart here in NZ.  The sentiment is one of a LDRS stamp and die set.  It stamps a number of sentiment all at once and then the matching die cuts them all at once.   It's great to have sentiments on hand.  I added some purple gems and called it finished.  

I'm still coughing and sneezing - hopefully will be able to head to work tomorrow.  I haven't been sleeping very well at night with all the coughing.   A dose of cough mixture before bed in the hope that I will sleep.
