Hello lovely friends and bloggers - I intended this card to be included with my FYI Design Team post, which was scheduled for 7.00am this morning, (and can be found if you scroll down to the previous post), but last night was a bit of a disaster as Malc (my hubby) had a fall at home, resulting in a rather nasty head injury, so all crafting was out of bounds after 10.pm last night, at which point my card was only partly made.
We spent this morning at Leeds General Infirmary, whilst Malc had the wound dressed, and various tests carried out. Fortunately he is OK, thank goodness, though somewhat bloody and bruised.
**********
We are going away tomorrow for a few days, whilst 101 year old FIL is in respite care for a while, and boy do we need it! It's also a birthday treat as I am 21 (again) on Sunday!!

Soooooooooo - onto my card! (If you are still with me)lol !

Oooh Wowwwww Sylvia.... what a GORGEOUS card.... stunning effect with the moon behind the fairy.... fabulous background - I really must give that a go!
So sorry that Malc has hurt himself.... he does sound in the wars! Glad there was nothing too serious though, but bad enough having to spend ages at Leeds hospital. Hope you have a lovely few days away, (and that it's not raining wherever you're going).... and that you have a WONDERFUL (21st!) birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday
Just to say I wasn't being that clever Sylvia. I printed the seat and the sassy lady was cut out and stuck onto it. Simples. Except that it took me forever to cut out as I'm a leftie and rubbish with scissors.
Beryl xx

It really does look spectacular on a close up - just magical! Hope you have enjoyed your break away and your poor husbands head is feel alot better...what a scare you must of had.
So sorry my Birthday wishes are sooo late Sylvia but I know you will understand my mind has been very occupied recently. Caleb is doing really well coping with all the tests. We are back up to Yorkhill this week for an MRI, he's not so keen now it doesn't mean missing a day off school...lol Cheers Claire x
