Hope your weekend was a good one. Mine was. Friday night Sonny & I went out to eat at a new-ish pizza restaurant in Mooresville, Salty Caper. I just love that name! Saturday Marianne and I went to a Follk Art Festival in Sherrills Ford. It was fun and there was some neat things there although folk art is really not our style. But I got an early birthday present out of the outing! The last booth we visited had flowers - about 5 feet tall - that were made out of metal. They were so cool and priced to sell. There were a lot of people milling around and buying them. So Marianne bought me one and we brought it home and "planted" it in my yard - a bright yellow sunflower.
Saturday was National Card Making Day and I had all intentions of making some cards. Unfortunately, I have been a bit under the weather this weekend. I thinkit is sinus stuff. My throat has been real sore. Saturday night before I went to bed, I took a decongestant tablet. It helped but I had a hard time sleeping and looked at the clock by my bed every hour! I'm not taking one tonight that is for sure! I took it this morning instead. But I'm still feeling rather achy and yucky. I'm scheduled to play bridge tomorrow and I have a dr. appointment for another issue so hopefully, I'll feel better.
Here is a card I made a few weeks ago using Perfectly Preserved. There is so much you can do with this set. I really like it and I haven't even touched the surface. I stamped the jar on card stock and using a mask, sponged Turqoise on the bottom to look like water. Then I stamped the flowers using markers. I stamped one set with Daffodil Delight and overstamped it with Tangerine. The DSP is from the Festival Prints in the holiday mini catalog.
