It's been nearly 2 weeks since I posted that I was home from the hospital and I had no idea that my recovery was going to be so slow. I figured that by now I'd be off the oxygen (NOT!), the daily nurse would have been sent packing (nope, but only coming twice a week now), and I'd be making at least one card every day (HA! Not.)
I didn't want to miss out on the Outlawz Progressive challenge which features this darling image from Paper Nest Dolls, called "Lulu Bee," so I sat down to color her (ProMarkers and sparkle gel pen) and discovered that I could only work on the image for about 15 to 20 minutes and then I had to lie down and rest. I spent 2 days getting the coloring done, then started on the card layout.
I figured if I did a really CAS design, it would go quickly. I picked two, different size, rectangle dies (QuicKutz) to cut the image and the black frame and, after that simple step, it was back to resting for an hour. I cut the sentiment with a die from Avery Elle, layered it onto the image, then put the image and black frame together. Another rest period. Sheesh, was I ever going to get this card made?
The yellow CS for the base was on the craft desk and worked well with the image colors so I grabbed it, scored it to make it an A2 card base, then added the image piece. I dug through the basket of signature bows I keep on hand, found a black one, and added it to the top corner. By that time, daylight had fled so I waited until this morning to photograph the card, edit it, and have it ready for the post.
But writing up the post has taken two sessions with rest breaks in between and I still don't have the photo posted. lol OK, finally, here's that CAS card.
