We have been away in our van for most of this week and while I had lots of ideas racing around in my head for cards in the end I have only managed one but combined three challenges.
Our 99.5 year old mum had spent the fortnight before we went down the coast in hospital with a very bad UTI but came home and all was well.
BIL (or #1 son) and his wife were stepping up to the plate so that we could have a break.
Not quite two days after we arrived at the caravan park we got a phone call from the hospital to say mum was back in there, she had had a fall and broken her elbow.
She is in a lot of pain and very depressed and up until today had more or less decided not to eat, so now we all have to make sure one of us is there at meal times to encourage her.
I made this card to cheer her up and I think it did.
The card is for this weeks colour challenge to use Real Red, Whisper White and silver, I used Real Red and the corresponding copic markers for blending, X-Press It White Blending Card for the white, Smoky Grey for the background stamping, it looks like silver and silver embossing powder for the greeting.
The Teapot Tuesday Challenge was to use stitching any sort real or imaginary, I used a Poppy Craft Die with a double stitched border.
Last but not least I used this weeks sketch for the layout.
Hope you like it and find inspiration, cheers Marg

Your card is stunning and great job rising to not only one but 3 challenges! Truly inspiring for me as a newbie. Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery for you mother.
