Deer Herd.

I missed the last show and tell for the Christmas Card Club that I am in but  have managed to make one card for this week. I didn't use the set theme and went with the fall back of anything goes. I have been watching quite a lot of old 'Clarity' You Tube videos  and as I have quite a few of their masks decided to make a little scene up using some of them. I vagally followed  where Barbara led  and this is the result. 



 I used s Moon mask, Pine forest mask and deer from the Riverside extras masks and various coloured ink pads. This card is for a friend who for the entire time we worked together only ever wore the colour black. Even when we meet up for a coffee  she  insists that it is the only colour that suits her so this card will make her smile as I am still trying to instill a bit of colour into her life. 

Well that was the week that was.  I had my booster jab which ended up being the Pfizer vaccine (even though I had been told not to have it the first time round due to all  the allergies I have) and really thought by the end of day one that I had gotten away with just feeling very cold and tired. It hit me day 2 and 3  with a wallop and I spent my time huddled under blankets on the settee. Still if that is a taster of what the full blown virus feels like if you catch it then I'm for the vaccine each and every time!!

Stay safe and well
Hugs

Great card ValeryAnne. Like you I had Astra Zeneca for my first two jabs and Pfizer for my booster. I had no problems at all with the first two but I knew I had had the booster. Fortunately it didn't last long. Hope you are okay now. Christine xx

A gorgeous scene Mrs A with a beautiful inky sky - a lovely set of stamps used too. I am still waiting for my booster, another 2 weeks to go, fingers crossed I'll be okay.

A lovely colourful scene but I imagine your friend will be pleased to see the deer are wearing black!! Sorry to hear you had a bad time with the booster jab - as far as I know everyone had the Pfizer one regardless of what they had first time around - I know they did around these parts anyway. Take care.

Chris said...

A lovely peaceful winter scene- love the colours of the tree and sky.
Had my booster yesterday (Pfizer)- so far so good, just a sore arm! Hope you're feeling better now.

It's a gorgeous card Valery, I love your pretty scene and sky colours.
What a pity you had another bad reaction to the vaccine, but as you say much better to have it. the alternative doesn't bear thinking about, take care, Kate x

Margreet said...

Great scene and I love that sky!
Too bad that you have such a strong reaction to the vaccine, but as you say, this is better than having the full blown virus.
Hope you're feeling better now.
I think I will get the booster next month.

What a great card to introduce color for your friend. You created a great scene with the deer. Oh, I hate you had such a bad time with your booster. When all is said and done you will be happy you had it even with the side effects. Good for you!

A lovely card Mrs A. Pleased you didn’t have too bad a reaction to your jab. I think both Roy and I have been very lucky as the only side effects we had to all three jabs was a slightly tender arm.

Carol S. said...

Poor you Mrs A!! I was lucky and had the same as I had for the first 2 jabs. We had no reaction other than a sore spot on our arms.
Love the scene you have created and the design is lovely.
Big hugs, Carol S.xxx

Hello, Mrs. A! I love, love, love your peaceful scene card! The background looks amazing and I love those deer! Gorgeous card! So sorry you got the booster jab and had another bad reaction. Sounds miserable! I hope you are much better!

I'm also sorry that I haven't been playing in your butterfly challenges lately as I only recently came back to my blog and I'm in full Christmas cardmaking mode. I'm feeling guilty for neglecting my butterflies again! Maybe I will head over and take a look to see what's going on with the butterflies!

Sandra H said...

Oh wow Mrs A this card is stunning l like the black between the other colours really makes the scene stand out as if it was snow and it’s illuminated it all just love it xx

Joan said...

A lovely scene , I’m sure your friend will love it

AlisonC said...

I hope you are feeling better now. It's not fair that it hits you like this but I suppose the alternative is worse, as they say.
This sky is wonderful. Many happy hours can be spent watching You Tube!

Karen McAlpine said...

Love the tree mask!! What a super addition to your beautiful card.

Zoe Tant said...

Love the card and it's clever design. So effective with the silhouette deer. Hope you are better after the wallop of the vaccine. Hugs Zoe and Happy Christmas x
