It's been a while...

Yes it has! It started with my DH & I both coming down with a very nasty flu virus within 24 hours of each other. Three weeks later I was still trying to shake it off. During this time we were also away for a week for our 33rd wedding anniversary. A cabin set in rainforest on the side of a hill overlooking a gorgeous lake. Blissfully quiet & so pretty! It was a great place to recuperate.
The day I arrived home was a different matter though. We had been in the house for about half an hour when my back problem flared up and eight hours later after my home meds wouldn't work I was in the hospital ER for morphine. A week later it flared again, then another week later again. Both times I was able to control with strong meds which leave me pretty useless. So the end result of so many recurrences is that I am a little restricted to what I can do. I can't sit at my craft desk or computer for very long which is very frustrating. I dabble but to create a card from start to finish is out of the question at the moment so I am utilising the time to complete partly finished projects.
Anyway the card I have today is made with an Wplus9 image I stamped with distress inks probably 6 months ago!

I matched it with a background I found in my stash which I had watercoloured a fair while ago too. Some gold card for a fine edge and a gold embossed sentiment to complete. I couldn't resist adding some pretty yellow sequins although in the photo some of them look green & a little Wink of Stella to the flower centers.
I thought I would enter this into The Card Concept Challenge #58

I thought the colours were a good match & I'm going with mixed media for the watercolouring & embossing.

Just a quick pic of the view looking out from our deck at the rainforest cabin

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.
