Emily's Card

As ever, I’ve not been very well once again –unfortunately after a good run of late, I ended up back in hosp from last Wed through Sun with another suspected chest infection which thankfully wasn't the case.  So hoping that's my token admission for the year as it just reminded me of all the tough issues I dealt with last year, which I really don't want to repeat any time soon!

This one is the card I made for my wonderful 2^nd (step) granddaughter, the firstborn of my youngest stepdaughter Christine, who turned 2 a while back.  As I couldn’t afford to buy her much in the way of presents I figured a keepsake card might be nice, and as she has a lovely little kitten to enjoy, this seemed the perfect design. As usual, it’s a beautiful Morehead image decoupaged up on 2 diecuts.

The background paper was matted onto a pink holographic iridescent card.  I used a small section of lace underneath pink ribbon behind the image, and used another diecut to mat the greeting onto.  Flowers as ever come from Wild Orchid Crafts & the MS branch greenery courtesy of a wonderful lady on Ebay.

On the inside I created a pocket into which to put the greeting  (along with the money in an envelope).

All in all hopefully a card that will be enjoyed by Emily in years to come as much as by her mum now.

I'm entering this into last week's WordArt Wednesday challenge despite (for once) it not having any WordArt :( - put it as a footer instead :).

Blessings!

  

 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches 

of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

WordArt Wednesday Challenge #124

Another Word Art Wednesday challenge and thankfully again Anything Goes which as always, works wonderfully for me.   This week I’ve made a nice birthday card for an elderly relative who loves pink & lace so easy to provide for :).

The background paper is from a Paper Cellar tartan pack sadly now seemingly no longer available, and it was matted onto gold holographic card.  I punched a complementary pink border to go on top of the lace, which is a really deep lace.

Another wonderful Thomas Kinkade design - Garden of Promise - was tunnel cut and also matted onto the holographic card before putting over the lace border.  Then the best part as always comes with the Wild Orchid Craft roses which just set it off perfectly.

Then the “stop” is a foiled diecut one (possibly Hunkydory) which I’ve again put a couple of roses either side to just set it off.

 

And as always, the base & tag are made to match.

I finished it all off with a matching box as well and boxed the card with pink tissue paper which I know she’ll really love.

Blessings

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
