Good morning mon petit champignons. Hope all is good in your part of The Pond.
Thank you for your kind comments on the Mum to Be card. The letters were indeed individual rather than a special die.
Thank you too for your best wishes for my dental visit. As the temporary crown had already fallen out (I crunched on it whilst eating some baked beans) the remainder of the tooth was very sensitive so when he blasted cold air at it, I nearly went through the ceiling.
I had a pact with my dentist when I started seeing him years ago. In the chair, my hand would be at an opportune level with a delicate part of his anatomy, so as long as he didn't hurt me, I wouldn't hurt him.............I nearly acted on it yesterday I can tell you.
I also got a bit nervous when he asked the nurse for the "wide one and the Vaseline".
The tooth is niggling still, even with the crown now on but hopefully, it will settle down.
Now, today is Diwali so I thought that I would show you all the card that I made for Nesta (She doesn't read my blog...calls herself a friend lol!!!) this year.
Ingredients
8x8 cream card blank
Purple and orange card
Gold mirror card
First Edition Storyteller paper (6x6)
SW Tahiti dies
Go Press and Foil gold foil
CE Tapestry embossing folder
Lord Ganesh pendant
Teeny gold bling
My second foray into foiling and still impressed with the effects.
I thought that the pendant would make a lovely centrepiece and Nesta can remove it if she wants to pop onto a keyring or chain.
The blinged up nelliphant was one of the Diwali gifts for her, though its so cute, I nearly kept it myself lol!!!
Well, Mr D has a day off today so I may be lucky and get taken out for lunch............if I can chew lol!!!
Happy Diwali to anyone who is celebrating and happy Wednesday to all.

Hi Ang this is a stunning card I love it. Everyone is talking about foiling. I really must give it a try. I hope your tooth settles down and that you got taken out for lunch (with coffee). Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteThis card today is fantastic and I'm sure Nesta loved it. I think Nesta is very wise, think of all the time she saves not reading your drivel sorry I mean blog!!! My dentist always places himself strategically out of range, drat it!
love Maureen xx
Hi Ang, hope by now the tooth has settled down and you and Mr. D managed lunch.
ReplyDeleteNesta's card is stunning, gorgeous colours and design, I'm sure she will love it. Love the little ellie too, beautifully blinged up, take care, Kate x
Beautiful card. I do think foiling gives it just the right touch. That patterned paper is gorgeous. Very elaborate card that Nesta should adore (cute elephant makes a great prop).
ReplyDeleteDentists....can't live without them but a dreaded experience most visits. Crowns were really a "pain". I hope your tooth has started behaving and you can enjoy lunch with Mr. D.
