Hi all,Well, it's Friday. Yippee! Daisy has been off school today as she has breathing problems again. She has it every time she is ill, even if it is just a cold. So, we went to the doctors and she has finally been diagnosed with asthma. Hubby has it, as do both Grandads, so it was quite likely, but it has taken at least a year and many illnesses and hospital visits before a diagnosis. I hope now that the inhalers she has been given will help and that she won't miss as much school with illness.
Anyway, I felt like playing with inks and stamps tonight, which I don't do enough of. The card is for hubby's best friend and family to say thank you for our Christmas present. The image is a stamp by Penny Black that I bought last year but haven't used yet. I have inked the papers with antique linen and other brown inks. I have also gone a bit mad with the sandpaper and did a bit of distressing.
I would like to enter this into :
Stampalot challenge - monochromatic
Crop stop - distressed, vintage or shabby chic

Morning Nikki
As you might guess, I love this piece, the colours and lots of lovely ink so ticks all the right boxes for me.
Sorry Daisy's got asthma, but it's good to finally get a diagnosis and at least now they can treat it properly. Two of mine are asthmatic and it's amazing how quickly they adjust to using inhalers and recognise the times to use them.
Thank you so much for joining our Monochrimatic theme at Stampalot this months, it's good to see you here and hope you will join us again.
Have a good weekend.
