Moving Along With The Times Challenge. . . . . . .Texture


Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well?

I would firstly love to welcome my 2 new followers Deb Curtis and Ирина Инзер. Thank you for jumping in The Pond, especially at a time when there has not been much activity with my being poxed!!! Much appreciated folks and that's me at 99 now (not in age but I bloomin feel like it at the minute!!!)

Now today, its time for another challenge at MAWTT and its my turn to host, so my choice of subject matter is . . . . . . . TEXTURE

So folks, hope you can pop and see what the rest of the gals on the DT have come up with and why not enter one of your fab creations.


Ingredients
Cream card
Plum card
That Special Touch Fanciful Mask
Phill Martin Decadent WIne Sparkle Texture Paste
Sissix Squares dies
Crafters Companion sentiment
Memento Sweet Plum ink


I made the textured panel over at John's a while ago (see here) and had been wondering what I could do with it. Bizarrely, I bought the mask myself afterwards, not realising it was the same one and its that I used to emboss the base card so it all matches.

Hope you get time to join in with us at MAWTT.

Well folks, fortunately the bulk of this was scheduled before my poxation so I have just added a couple of sentences.

Thank you for your concern and advice. I have been having bicarb baths and they are very soothing, Calamine did nothing for me but Eurax is fantastic.
Have been to the doctors Tuesday and am having to take 15 tablets a day for 7 days (anti virals, anti biotics and anti histamines). With all the different spacings required and the empty stomach/non empty stomach stipulations, its been like planning a military operation to create a timetable for the bloomin things.

Enough typing for now folks as I have them on my finger tips too (you would be surprised at what little nooks these nasty spots have erupted in!!!) but I'm quite bothered that I have 53 on my face!

What a way to spend your birthday (today) eh???

TTFN

Ps. Mr D should hopefully be ok as he has had Shingles. He has done shopping and has valiantly been on cream applying duty (not in those nooks I mentioned though!!!)

    Hi Ang for the second time, I had almost finished typing when I decided to look at your tex paste, which is beautiful and now I will buy one or two.
    I won't be so cruel to wish you a Happy Birthday but just for this year move it forward to June 28th, so you are well enough to enjoy it.
    You need every one of the tablets as its a really horrid virus to get as an adult, so you need to just rest and recover.
    I love your card, fits the description perfectly, hope you win.
    Well I think that's all I typed the first time lol, rest up, look through Pintrest and YouTube as there are some brilliant crafters on there while you have the chance.
    X Ros

    Well Ang you can turn even a misrable experience into humour. I'm well impressed you counted the spots on your face.
    Your card is so lovely, it's a gorgeous die and as usual your choice og colours is fab.
    I will wish you Happy Birthday, not sure when it is though, you will enjoy it all the more when your depoxed. That's some amount of meds, yoy take care and rest well, hugs Kate x

    Good morning again Ang after I wrote earlier and wished you a happy birthday looking at the calendar realised it is tomorrow so many wishes for then! ! 15 tablets a day is so many but the days will fly by and no doubt Mr Duck is keeping a check in between cream duty and all his other chores. If you have so many on your face you must wear mittens to resist the urge to scratch. So back to your card and you have done a smashing job. It's amazing what good results you can get from texture paste. So, have a happy birthday perhaps a special takeaway as you can't go out but enjoy the day love from Jackie xx ☺

    Beautiful card Ang, that shimmery paste is so gorgeous! Since the state of affairs in your house right now leaves room for improvement, I say we push your birthday back a month!! Until then, try not to scratch and good luck with the pesky pill schedule. hugs :)

    My sympathies, poor Mrs Duck, 53 on your face sounds like a terrible dose of the pox, I do hope they all ease up soon and the meds give you some relief. Get well soon.

    Oh Ang, you certainly don't do half measures, do you. Poor you. I know most childhood illnesses are harder as you get older(sorry) but to have it on your birthday too...ouch.
    Just put a time delay on this year's birthday. I'm sure we won't object if you lie about your age for a week or two.
    Love the card too, strong colours and texture, would be great for any partially sighted person as well.
    Cheers

    PS, when you play join the dots, do you get a good picture?

    Hi Ang,

    Just got back and read your post. SORRY!I have missed your Birthday again!!! So sorry my friend. I won't ask if you have had a good one as obviously not with all the nasty spots. I hope they clear up soon and that you are a little better. I agree with previous posts and put your birthday back a month!
    Your card is fabulous, so much texture on that, the colour is gorgeous, so rich. Just beautiful Ang.

    Love & Hugs

    Gorgeous card. Hope you are able to have a reasonable birthday tomorrow, I agree that you should have a second birthday once you are recovered from your Chicken Pox.

    Morning Ang,
    Lovely card. Put your birthday celebration on hold until you are feeling better. Sounds like you have got a bad dose, poor you.

    Hope Duck is winning over chicken in the battle of the birds? Sorry to hear you are so poorly with the pox, but hopefully by now things may have calmed...a bit? Love your challenge and your delightful card. Embossing is a lovely technique, Jx

    Hi Ang. Belated Happy Birthday to you. Do as I did this year as I was ill on my birthday and wait to celebrate it once you are feeling much better, don't let it just slip by. I hope the tablets do their job, they'd better after all of that planning : )
    What a great card, clever of you to use the same stencil for both parts. Keep on popping the pills and getting Mr D to apply that cream. Take care xx

    Hi Ang, I have looked everywhere to email you to see how you are doing. I have be hoping everyday you will have popped up to say you are on the mend,but I guess not just yet. So if you don't mind I'll keep hoping to see your happy banter back on your page. Please take care, I know it's a horrid thing to get children's illnesses when you are an adult, so look after yourself, treat yourself to some films, DVD's ect anything that will help pass the time while Mr D is at work. Lots if love Ros H
