Hi there, crafty friends! I'm back again!...
I have quite a few birthdays and other occasions happening this month and I need to try and create some quick and easy cards to send. I find that when I have spent a couple of hours on a card, I am reluctant to give it to anyone unless I think that they will a) appreciate it and b) not throw it in the bin after a day...I know that inevitably this is what happens to a lot of our creations but also know that some people appreciate handmade cards more than others!
Anyway, I created this simple embossed card using an embossing folder from my stash (think I picked it up from Amazon but not sure)...I am also trying to justify the huge amount of craft products I have by revisiting things that may have fallen out of favour and using them again...
I used another of the 'Thank You' cards from The Works as my base card and inked the embossing with Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade, Peeled Paint and Pistachio Distress Oxides before matting onto a soft brown cardstock...
I used a Pastel Blue Promarker to colour the tiny flowers and added small pearl for the centres. I finished off with a pretty sentiment and acetate line butterfly which was gifted in a pack of ephemera from a crafty friend...
Hope you like my simple card. It's similar to these anniversary makes I did for our local village shop...
Thanks for popping by and I hope you find inspiration in my card...
Crafty hugs,
