Get Well for my Grandson

Welcome.

We have spent the weekend waiting for texts to hear how our grandson is, as he has been unwell and ended up in hospital.  We haven't visited him, so today I made him a card. 

Edit/update - as of Tuesday afternoon, our young man is home again - on medicine for another 5-6 weeks! Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers.


 Typical three year old he loves vehicles, particularly large and noisy road work ones!


I had won some FLONZ Craft stamps recently, and deliberately selected this set with heavy machinery in it.


The vehicles were stamped in various distress inks and detail added with shiny pens and a black calligraphy pen.


I added brown, green and blue chalks for the background


The final detail were the roads - stitched ribbon!


And a heartfelt wish!!

    Hope your little grandson is okay Maxine. Nothing more disconcerting than when the little ones are unwell. Your card will cheer him up no doubt. Sending prayers your way.

    As I hate doing it I will admit at the beginning that this is a copy and paste comment as I am unable to type properly at the moment, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to take a look at your lovely creation and thank you for joining us at Penny Black and More this month.
