I made this card for two challenges today - The Free 4 All over on Split Coast was to use mostly blue and flowers - and the sketch is from Mojo Monday.
My sentiment is from one of the newly released sets from Waltzingmouse called Compact Sentiments. The flowers are from a Stampin' Up punch and the Monarch Border die is from MFT.
I used my 1/4" hole punch for the black centers of the flowers - adding a silver pearl to each. One of the flowers is popped up on foam tape and I curled all the petals up a bit with my fingers.

A short post for me today - I've been home sick all week with a terrible cough and chest cold - which despite having seen the doctor and taking prescription and over-the-counter medicines - still seems to persist!
So I get up and do a little something - then drop back into the reclining chair - I can't lie down in bed or I'll have coughing fits! I hear this is going around a lot. I can't remember ever being this sick with a cold.
I'd appreciate your 'get well prayers"!!

This sure is a cheery little number! I love the bright blue and fancy die border with the new sentiment. I hope you feel better, Julia! Maybe you should go to the doctor, because you don't want to end up with something ickier that a cold like bronchitis or something! (Look at me shaking my finger and getting all bossy, heee!) HUGS!
