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.
I’ve had a good weekend making a few cards and getting a fair bit of studying done. As this week has started off with two deliveries of new stuff, one from Wild Orchid Crafts and one from Kreativ Hobby, I wish I could say the next weekend is likely to be equally creative. However, I am going away on Friday for nearly a week, so the cards I have made the past week shall be lined up to so I can easily get them posted over the next week and a half! Anyway, onto this post’s card!
A couple of weeks ago I made a baby card for a friend. As she is expecting a baby girl it was the perfect excuse to go all out on pinks and cute and ribbons! What a great inspiration to start out with. I had ordered various bits specifically to make this card, and thankfully it all arrived in time for me to get the card done before taking it with me to England where she lives. This post is to show off that card.
I looked at the challenge last week and decided instantly that I couldn’t enter in the challenge. Why? Because I didn’t have a heart die or anything similar. It bugged me, though. I don’t like being stopped that easily.
Today, after work I decided to get the old fashioned scissors out and cut out a heart shape myself. So here I am, a couple of hours later with a whole new card that I am very pleased with indeed; my entry for the 6th challenge over at Lili’s Little Fairies.
For this card I wanted to use pinks and blacks. This was one of the very first cards I made after I got the die cutting machine for Christmas and it had to be tried out for various shapes! I also wanted to try something different and not use a stamped image for the front. It made the card quite different from anything else I had made previously.
