Hello sweet friends
It's been a busy stressful week and more to come ...
But first I have a card to share that I made a couple of days ago for this week's
CAS-Ology challenge
This is virtually all digital ... I have been trying to learn some techniques in Print Shop and that fragmented and bubble edge effect of the digital paper is one of them
The butterfly is a PTI die and I used distress inks to colour it ...
As for Contrast, well, I have different fonts in the sentiment, Colour contrasts, and then the straight lines against the fragmented and bubble effects ...
In case you are interested, this is how the digital paper looked prior to using various techniques
Yesterday my DH had surgery to remove scar tissue from the back of his eye ... his vision was really bad and being very deaf does not help!
Oh the joys of getting old ...
Anyway he was extremely nervous ... more so than when he had his cataracts done ... As it turned out it was a blessing in disguise as they discovered a hole in the retina ... They repaired it but it means that he has to stay sitting in an upright position with his head still for a while ... Maybe 2 weeks - He's allowed up for 10 minutes in every hour to prevent blood clots ...
Needless to say I am running around and administering Meds so if I don't get to visit your blogs for a while ... please bear with me.
I am thrilled at all the lovely comments I received on my Candle Jar - Thanks so much!! It really means a lot ...
Lastly a Big Thank You to my sweet friend Kirsty who sent me this lovely gift and stunning card
A gorgeous tin filled with beautiful postcards and envelopes
I'm one lucky girl
Thanks for looking in on me today ...
Till soon take care

Ros, your digi card is so beautiful! I'm so impressed with your skills! I break out into a full flop sweat at the thought of doing digital crafting! With my goal not to even attempt it until I use up all my NBUS, it's a sure bet I'll never get around to it!
My sweet friend, I am so sorry for what you and your husband are going through with his recovery from eye surgery. Thank God they found the hole and were able to fix him up, but that will be an arduous two weeks and my prayers go out to both of you. This, too, shall pass. Take care of yourself while you are nursing and dealing with his needs. Huge hugs, Darnell
Hope your husband is better soon - and with all the annoyances now about sitting upright (what about sleeping??) you are right: so good they found that hole! Tell him to get "Get well soon!"
Your card, or rather the technique(s) you used amaze me... I admire you for always finding out about new things and trying them out.
This digital effect is mind blowing :) love ur contrast colors
Glad the gift and card arrived, probably earlier than my post came up, LOL, still feel bad about that, sorry!
Happy Birthday once again! I hope everything run smooth and that you are not forgetting to take care of yourself while taking care of Ian, big hug!
What a lovely card, you are so good with digital, amazing transformation!

What a beautiful card. Love the sweet purple butterfly. Sending get well wishes to your hubby. :)
Ros,
I haven't visited your lovely blog in quite some time. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I went through something similar with my husband's brain surgeries each time. It is hard to have to sit up like that etc. You are a blessing to him I know!!!! Glad you had some time to make a card! Love the digital techniques you used! I need to learn someday!!!
Very cool effects and your card is lovely! Hope things settle down for you both soon!
Hugs,
Jill

What I love about this card is that it doesn't look digital!!! Wonderful cracked and bubbled effects and and elegant l.o.. Beautifully done Ros~ ((hugs)) Rebecca
FAbulous job on all the digital Ros! Love the background you created and the little flitting butterfly is the perfect embellie :)
Your card is gorgeous!
Hope your husband will get better soon. I'm glad they found the hole.
Take care Ros, hugs:)
Digital is COOL, your fragmented is going to make me go check it out too! This is beautiful!
Thanks for joining us at CASology this week!!!
Oh goodness I'm so glad they caught your hubby eye problem. Having to sit like that sounds so uncomfortable. It must be tough for him and you writing about him. Hope everything heals well with no problems. The effects you created on your card look amazing. I really need to learn more about that software myself. Hugs and prayers coming your way!
Ros, you are amazing!
I am so impressed with all of your talent and I am with Darnell. Digi is far too scary for me, but I am so intrigued at all of the beautiful cards and art objects that you create and decorate. You are one very clever and talented gal. You must have golden fingers :)
Please give your husband my very best wishes for a smooth recovery. Patience and love to you both.
First, you are a wonderful nurse for your DH and how wonderful that they found the hole in his retina! And could repair it! Next your card is so PRETTY! LOVE the digital part and the butterfly is the perfect detail! Last, Kirsty is a sweetheart!
WOW this is digital? WOW I LOVE it!!!! Beautiful colors and the pop of a butterfly, stunning!
Ros, I love your digi card! This is so sweet! And I love such colors!:)
Swoon! What a fabulous, crackle background! LOVE the texture without all the bulk! And the purple and green is so full of springtime!
Who would have thought your gorgeous card to be made entirely digital! I thought you had stamped it Ros! Also love your delicate looking butterfly. Please wish your DH well from me, hope he will recover soon! Take care, both of you, hugs, Ira x
