Tomorrow is my final exam for this semester and I am very much looking forward to digging out the craft materials and sit down to make cards without constantly feeling that I should rather be studying! The card for this post features one of my newest favourite stamps. Now, which stamp could that be?
As might be guessed from my complete lack of blog posts as of late, I have been very busy. The days are rushing past at an unbelievable pace and the exams are getting closer by the minute. At least that is how it feels when the pile of books is only growing taller, instead of smaller! Nevertheless, a blog post was well over due, so here is a new card:
A co-worker’s 50th birthday was last week; of course a card was due for the special occasion! I asked her sister-in-law was sort of colours would be good and she told me anything purple and perhaps a bit of brown. So that was my starting point! After a quick trip to a localish shop to get some purple paper, as I was all out, it was time to make the card:
This card was made entirely for the latest challenge at Lili’s Little Fairies. The main clue here was to use Butterflies and Fairies, which is something I have used a fair bit of, but not really in a combination. I’ve had a massive card making spree this weekend and given something new a go as well as making a card for a co-worker whose birthday is in a few days. These will be added over the next week or two. First we’ll have a look at the card I made for this challenge:
Who would have thought making cards would be so much fun?! It has been a learning curve, quite a steep one. When I first starting purchasing things to make cards with in August I hadn’t really thought much about what I was getting myself into, or how much money I would spend. Now, my wallet many, many pounds lighter, I am very happy I just went with the random idea it was at the time. I am having a blast. It is great having an excuse to sit and colour in images and merely decorate cards, one by one. Of course it takes time, but it’s worth it. Today’s card is pink, purple and possibly my best one yet. Let’s take a closer look!
