Todays card is another new, possibly weird, colour selection Green. This is one of those cards that starts out as one thing and becomes Something else. This was actually, initially, two cards neither of which worked. I took the background form one and the filigree side base from another.
The background is a piece of Do'crafts shimmer card in aqua which I embossed with the Spellbinders Elite M'Bossabilities folder and studded with the ever present pearls. I cut the edge of this to match the card base and adhered the background.
Next I added a simple ribbon and bow which I hid the knot with a piece of the background left over.
The sentiment is yet another from Waltzing mouse which I love I really think this is applicable to all of us we must make out own way in life! with a little help from our friends.
A simple card but I hope you Enjoy...
I love the sentiment and you have made it into a lovely card too. We will be having a drink outside later, bbq, if you two want to join us. Xxx

Good morning John.
ReplyDeleteI love the card but Im not sure about the pea green with the darker one. Like both colours but not sure about them together.
What time is grub up Wendy? x
Hi John. I like the colours together. The shimmer background really shows off the pearls. These Waltzing Mouse sentiments are great.
ReplyDeleteWon't be commenting for a while John as I have to go and stay in my house which is up in the mountains.I have had tenants in who have wrecked it so I need to do a lot of work to get it to the selling stage and with no internet or tele it will be work, work, work. Will catch up when i get back.
Take care

John, I like this card. Works really well and the colours do go together as they are soft muted shades. Lovely. Janice
