Update: I'd just like to say thank you so much for all your get well wishes for my grandad. Luckily, he's out of intensive care now, and his operation went well with no complications! :)Hello! I hope you're having a lovely week! It seems to be going really slowly this week. I don't know why, but I think it's because I got in late from school trip last night and I really wanted a lie-in this morning, so I thought it was the weekend, ha ha! I went to see 'An Inspector Calls' at the theatre with school as part of my English GCSE, and I loved it! I thought the acting and the set were brilliant and really enjoyed the play, so I'd definitely recommend it if you get the chance to see it, especially if you've read the book.
Anyway, I made this card a few days ago for my grandad, who is having an operation on his heart. He was supposed to be having it today, but it was cancelled at the last minute, so he will be having it over the next couple of days, so I really hope it goes OK.
Materials:Image: High Hopes
Sentiment: Printed Off The Computer
Colouring: Polychromatic Pencils
Papers: Basic Grey - Max & Whiskers
Glitter: Stickles - Picket Fence (Bandage) & Lime Green (Leaf)
Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Brushed Corduroy

I had a go at using Glossy Accents on the bug in the image of my card, but it was slightly disastrous, ha ha! It was all stuck in the end of the bottle, so it all popped out when I squeezed it and went everywhere! I managed to wipe it off and it looked OK when it was dry, but I think I'll be a bit more careful with it next time! :D
I'm entering this card into these challenges:
- Basic Grey Challenges - Anything Goes
- High Hopes - Anything Goes
- Our Creative Corner - Masculine Card/Project
It's starting to feel very autumnal now, and even wintery at times! It makes me feel all snug and cosy, hee hee! The other morning, when I woke up, I thought it had snowed because the window was steamed up and all I could see was white frost outside! :)
Thank you for looking and enjoy the rest of your week!
Love, Georgia xx
