Been a good while since my last post as, as
ever, I’ve not been well again & battling all sorts of issues. BUT I still try and push out at least 1 card
daily or every other day for distraction therapy, so finally getting a moment
to show a couple up here.
These are ones I made for my mum-in-law and in truth, I was
grateful to have a reason to push myself to make some as I was just in such a
low spot physically it was really hard to make the effort to be bothered to do
anything :(.
The first one is a nice Thinking Of You card in her favourite colour –
green and with an image from her favourite painter - Thomas Kinkade. Papers are K & Co and the
flowers as always are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Greenery are MS punchies – I’ve never been able to afford or even find
sometimes, the particular Branch punch that makes them, so instead I buy them
ready punched from a wonderful girl in the US.
Then the 2nd one is a total change using a wonderful
kit from Crafts You Print. Can’t
remember the exact kit details offhand, but if you’re interested in it, just
email me & I’ll have a closer hunt for them. It’s a lovely see through easel with floating
butterflies, & I did it in both A4 & A5 sizes. The larger one is going to be for my prayer
partner’s birthday later in the year.
The kit comprises 3 sections which you just glue together to give it
stability, and I used some additional heavyweight card too to ensure it would
hold.
I think it's a truly beautiful card but while the designer has other designs available, none were quite as pretty as this particular one.
Enjoy
