Happy Thursday,I hope you have all got your Christmas Prep almost finished, we are running round maniacally here at casa Next Door as the time seems to have flown away again. I am starting on prep for next years shows as well as some exciting new projects I will let you know about as we get into 2015!
A quick one today again I'm afraid as the studio is calling me lol (ignoring presents still to wrap, craft first lol)
Today's card is the one I made specially for a certain special lady and friend who has inspired me and done so much this year to bring me all the exciting opportunities so far, and planned into next. It is always difficult to make a card for a fellow crafter especially one who is a proficient and good as the person this one was given to.Ingredients:
Creative Expressions Craft dies by Sue Wilson
Ivy
Dainty Rectangular Frame
Christmas Sentiment from a set by Sam Poole
Creative Expressions A4 Embossing Folder Snowflake Lattice
Vintage Gold, Red & Coconut White Foundation card
Cosmic Shimmer detail white embossing powder
Distress ink in Forest Moss, Crushed Olive & Pine Needles
Enjoy...

Hello John, this is absolutely fabulous, just perfect for anyone who loves crafting, so I am sure whoever the recipient is, will love it. Take care. Bx
ReplyDeleteGreat card, very classy. Only thing left do do for Christmas is the food shopping-will take OH with me on Sunday to do battle in the supermarket, I'm working right upto Christmas Eve & that'll probably be late as everyone usually decides to go to A&E then needs a prescription!

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteit's such a beautiful card - difficult, too, as it's easy and tempting to "overload" it.
