Thank you so much for the kind comments and encouragement you have given me since my laser eye surgery on Saturday. It has been good to read of your experiences and that those of you who've had it done too are still able to craft. As a crafter and hand stitcher I had fantastic near vision (but couldn't see clearly if it was 6" from my nose!) and I was concerned that I would not be able to enjoy my favourite past times.
I made this card last night so I am still able to enjoy my crafting - it is just strange because my close up focus is now how it should be (12-18" away) and it is just a bit wierd getting used to sitting up and still being able to see my work clearly. Computing is still a bit strange too - anything bright white seems to have a haze around it, I am hoping this will improve a bit with time.
So, onto the card - the image is from Lili of the Valley and I have used their current challenge sketch. The papers are from DCWV and the corner accent is a Sizzlits die.
I stamped the image twice and decoupaged the hat and the paws/star. I coloured the image with pro markers and used Cosmic Shimmer glitter on the hat.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Lili of the Valley - I used their sketch
Creative Cottage - Christmas
Just Cute Bears - Butons and blooms
I have just found out a few minutes ago that Jenny has nominated my blog for an award - my first one! I am so pleased. I need to get my award and display it with pride on my blog now!!!
Thanks for stopping by,
Amanda
