What a difference a week makes.....Ngaire is doing extremely well. She is still in hospital with her tacheotomy is still in but she is up and able to take a little walk around. She was able to have a shower yesterday. Her son headed home on Wednesday and her daughter today. It will be a while before she will be able to head home to Wellington.
It's been a bit of a wet weekend, so I've had some time in the craft room. Yesterday I made this card.
The little Altenew stamp and die set (Adore You Add on) has been sitting on my desk since I bought it at SENZ in July! I was inspired by the image on the packaging. I took my mini blending brush with some blue ink on it and used what was there to blend onto the panel. I added some washi tape to the bottom and a strip of silver card. I stamped the flowers and leaf a few times and die cut them. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the card. A few iridescent gems finished it.
Entering this into Darnell's NBUS challenge - first outing for the little stamp and die set.
Today, I made three cards - all Altenew Christmas cards for an upcoming swap. So not able to share yet. With postage from NZ being so random these days, I wanted to get ahead and have them ready to go for when I get my swap partners. I'm also doing another 3 card swap for a Flickr group. So that will be my project for the week and upcoming weekend.
Tomorrow I'm off to Court - got a call up for Jury Duty. Hoping that I don't get chosen for a jury. But if I do... so be it!

What a beautiful way to use the image Dawn - love the simple background that lets it shine so beautifully.
Great to hear Ngaire is well on the mend - what a stressful time it has been all around.
All the best for Jury Duty

Sorry I'm so far behind reading blogs. I'll review all your posts, even if I don't leave a comment. I'm so glad to hear that your dad's partner has improved & hope it continues. This is a beautiful card, Dawn!
