My card for this challenge is for a friend's birthday. Lena is the Beaver Scout Leader in our village; she's been doing it for years, and I met her through the Group. She's a wonderful lady - full of fun and these colours remind me of her - bright, cheerful, happy and a good mate! So I've gone for a sunshine doily rising to send her birthday wishes!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Dainty Doilies Lg, Dainty Doilies Sm; Personal Impressions - Wording stamps (PICS066) by Paula Pascual
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Tuquoise
I'm sorry, but I've had to scan the card as I'm not able to take photos at the moment. Very hard to balance on crutches and take a photo without (a) falling over or (b) blurred photo!
So far I'm managing to get around okay on the crutches, but I have to remember not to put weight on my left leg. And it's so frustrating - I'm not ill, just not able to move about easily!! I have to plan my crafting very carefully as the computer is upstairs in our office and my craft room is downstairs. And it's hard to carry thing up and down stairs - so glad that my handbag goes over my head!!
That's all for now. I hope to be back later this evening to share another card with you. See you later.

Now please don't take any risks whilst moving between floors & try not to go up & down the stairs too many times - I understand your frustration but please please make sure you don't have a mishap. I can hear your determination to carry on & know myself only too well in similar circumstances.
Love the bright colours of this - I think colour challenges, One Layers & CAS are your thing!
Much love

Goodness Deborah! I hope they are able to help you with your knee injury! Sounds terribly painful! be sure to stay off it as much as possible!
Your doily stamping is so pretty in these challenge colors!
Oh well done, can't imagine how difficult it must be:{ Your card is brilliant:0) Have to admit I found the colours a very big challenge!!
Wishing you a speedy recovery, hugs Gay xx
I immediately got the picture of you on the stairs with the crutches and your handbag wrapped around you. Poor you; it will be tough to go through the day. It's all very inconvenient. I sincerely hope that you are having less - or even better - no pain.....
And your card? My oh my; a fabulous design and a brilliant use of these gorgeous doily stamps. I love it!
Take care!

Love that doily - hope you get off crutches soon!
What on earth did you do to get on crutches! Poor you!!!
I take my photos sitting down...did you peek at my tutorial on how I take my photos? You'll understand it then.
LOVE this card...so bright and fun! I almost think I would have put the sentiment down closer to the doily on the bottom right, but that's probably my OCD talking! LOL!

Take care of that leg! Frustrating, yes, but look at it this way...you can't carry loads of laundry up and down the stairs. That's a good thing!
Your card is fabulous! I never would have thought to use a doily for these colors, and you've pulled it off PERFECTLY!!!!!!
