Apologies for so few cards going up on this blog of late but I
wasn’t very well through the past couple of months for various reasons, and on
top of that really struggled to get back into the mood for making general cards
after such a hectic few months prior to Christmas feverishly pushing out cards
to fulfil demand.
But I’m back with this card – one of a number of Sympathy cards I
got stuck into making for my mum-in-law.
I was just grateful to have a reason to make cards as it was proving
really hard to get bothered to make anything at the time, so knowing she wanted
these helped get me kick started. This card's rather simpler than my more extravagant easel style from last year but a lot more my usual style.
The card itself is a tri-fold arch style with a beautiful
decoupaged floral image on one section with a cut out window at the front which
you could cover with acetate if desired, but this way allows the decoupage to
poke through which I think adds to the overall effect. It
makes for a very unusual and unique sympathy card that I think would encourage
anyone getting it.
Hopefully from here on, I can upload more designs over the coming weeks, but with my health issues so variable, I'll just have to play it by ear.
Enjoy
