Yet another card that was a project for my sister. It’s great having excuses to make more cards, so getting to make some for her to give away suited me perfectly! Although, I do find it difficult to make for people I don’t know, it’s good practice before I start on the cards a co-worker has requested made.
Arrived in London last night, so today will be spent purchasing more things for my card making collection! There will definitely be a pad of First Edition Papers in my suitcase when I head home, I’ll just have to see which they have first! Apart from that I had a Wild Orchid Crafts order waiting for me here. We shall see what else I can find in Range and Hobbycraft today!
This is a card I made for my sister to give to her friend. She wanted it to be retro-like, which is really not my thing, but I wanted to give it a go anyway. It turned out pretty decent after all I think.
All out of ideas for another masculine card, I decided to instead go with something reasonably neutral. The recipient of this card is quite fond of green, so that was an obvious choice. Little did I know when I started that I would end up with orange of all colours! Anyway, the card was made and it’s an easel card!
Both I and all my new stash safely made it back from England. After unpacking everything and carefully organising it all last night, this morning was spent making a new card. Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday here, and with limited time available this week, I had to get the card done today. Before starting, I decided to have a quick look at the latest challenge over at Lili’s Little Fairies, fully expecting to miss out on the challenge entirely as it ends tonight or tomorrow. To my surprise the challenge theme this week is Spring Colours, which would fit my mom perfectly! With that extra motivation, the card didn’t take very long to make at all.
Mid winter, while waiting for spring to arrive, I decided to make an autumn looking card. Staring at the snow falling in various directions because of the wind, it was difficult getting into the autumny feeling. After battling myself for a while to get it done, here is the result.
