Paint Chip Tilda

While I was in my girly mode the other day, I also created this card for a paint chip I am participating in. She is headed off in the mail today to her new owner. As far as I know, she doesn't read my blog so it should be safe to post it here. Where's the paint chip? All the little punched hearts are from a paint chip. I used a nested heart Nestabilities die to punch the hearts and then added some stickles around the edges. I see the small one in the front looks a little gloppy, but it really isn't....just a subtle sparkle. The papers are from Close To My Heart. There is a little paper doily behind my image layers. I sponged it with distress inks to tone it down a little. Thanks for stopping in today!!

Paintchip Stlla

I have a couple more cards I have made using the new images from Totally Stampalicious and thought I should go on an get them posted. It won't be long and school will be out and I'll have lots more time to stamp! For this one I used Nurse Stella! This sentiment still cracks me up every time I read it! In honor of ICU, I used some retro hospital colors, Blush Blossom and Sage Shadow. Add in a little paint chip in shades of black (more retro stuff from my stash) and I think it works pretty well with this cute nurse with her retro nurse duds.
Just a quick post for tonight. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. My granddaughter (age 2) is going in for surgery tomorrow to have a large birthmark removed from her forehead. You can almost see it in the photo of her on my sidebar, but it is right at the hairline, about 1 1/2" in diameter and sticks up about an inch high. It's starting to become a problem for her and there is finally enough skin around the area that the doctors feel they can fix it with very little visible scarring. She will be under general anesthesia, so even though the procedure is rather simple, Gramma is really worried. After that is all done, I have to head off to my last night of a professional development class I have been taking for the last eight weeks. I'm gonna be one tired puppy tomorrow evening!
