So, here we are on Thursday again - my day off work!. I have just taken Misty to the vet's to have her teeth looked at. I had to take her in to see the nurse first to do all the preop checks. 'We like to give you an estimate these days' she said 'so there are no nasty shocks when you pick her up' she handed me a printed out sheet.......£200.00.......£200.00??? just to have her teeth checked and cleaned!!! It was quite a nasty shock at that stage, I can tell you! Apparently, that is worst case scenario, so it may be a bit less if she doesn't need too much doing..we will wait and see...
so here is a nice, calming card to steady my nerves! This one is made with the little elements of the kingfisher set from Clarity. the only stamps are the kingfisher silhouette and the reeds/grasses.
I cut out the shape (?decahedron) with a spellbinders die and did the whole scene through the aperture. Once I removed the mask, I drew a fine line round the shape, inked the edges of the card and drew some fine lines round the edges. They are solid lines, and I am not sure why they look dotted on the picture!
Hope you like it - I am off to check my bank balance!!

Love it ,discusting about vets they such a rip off xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely card Janet, hell what an amazing bill.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Janet. Sorry about the vet's bill, we just had something similar following an extraction, clean and polish - even though we buy these really expensive 'teeth cleaning' biscuits! Apparently the best cleaning method is for him to floss his teeth with bird feathers! Ahem. I don't think so! x
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful Janet - so serene xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning card! Love the scene and the colours! Hope Misty doesn't need to have to much cleaning done so the costs are kept down!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card. Hope the vets bill isn't huge. We had a massive bill from our vet in March ( about 1,500) and Oliver didn't pull through.
ReplyDeletelovely card Janet - you're getting a lot of use out of that mask! Hope the vet bill is a heck of a lot less than the estimate - hope she handed out a stiff coffee along with it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and as you say very calming, better send one to the bank manager!
ReplyDeletebeautiful and tranquil. love it xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Janet....and works really well with the Aperature ...
ReplyDeleteHope you get a reduction on your vets bill...Jo. X
Beautiful card Janet. The aperture is a decahedron - 10 sides so 'dec'. A maths teacher background comes in handy sometimes!
ReplyDeleteHope the vets bill wasn't too bad. Sue x
