It's the husband's birthday weekend, and somehow it's turned into a four-day celebration. Lucky he took Monday and Tuesday off work. Unlucky for me: I'm ill, ill, ill.
His card this year is a good reflection of how I was feeling when I made it. I was just beginning to see a bit of colour again, but my head was all over the place: buzzy, frenetic, wishing my cold would fly away.

I used some Gauche Alchemy stuff of course - perfect for this kind of mood. New punchinella from India, ouchless cardboard and pages from an old dictionary and a music book. Most surprisingly of all, though, was the fact that I busted out my watercolour pencils after years of neglect - and I'm so glad I did. (Even if the red did turn out a bit pink - sorry, husband!)

I sealed it all together with a home-made envelope:

Happy Birthday, Husband!
I hope you get better soon. A bright and cheery card, amazing seeing as you don't feel well.
ReplyDeleteYou'd never say you were ill while making this it's so creative. I hope you're feeling better
ReplyDeleteLooks great- I need to try at! I need to try out that sunburst pattern too- I loved the Studio Calico stamp but since I'm no longer a subber I lost out on the kit- anyway- that's a great card!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this card! Would you like my address?! ;) Fabulous sunburst design and there's nothing wrong with pink for the man. ;) I can't wait to get this new punchinella! You have inspired me. Hugs to you and birthday wishes to the man!
