Oh, I had so much work planned for last weekend only to do in my lower back on Saturday - and I do not even know how I managed to do that ... So instead of crafting I was in absolute agony, feeding on pain killers and trying to find a position that was half-way bearable. Standing, sitting and lying down was just horror. For a few days I even had to get out of bed (and even by doing that I often came close to screaming), if I just wanted to change my position. Turning round in bed was impossible.
But now the back is much better, the mobility is returning (I can even pick up things from the floor again!) and the beloved crafting is back on the agenda.
The card I would like to share with you today is one for dads, who deserve a thank-you now and again - and not only for Father's Day. To create it I used the brand-new Grace Taylor Modern Cabin products, which are distributed by Trimcraft.
I applied distress inks to the maritime posts and added coloured PVA glue around a day later only to discover that some of the ink started to creep up the tiny pearls a bit. But I actually quite like the look. Due to the impact of the sea water, algae, etc. nothing maritime stays nice, clean and shiny for too long anyway.
A product list and step-by-step instructions for this card can be found in my Trimcraft gallery.
And for those of you, who are interested in the dies I used: the posts are from the ocean set by Marianne Design and the sentiment is created using Britannia dies.
