Good Morning
Where did that fortnight go? The weeks are certainly rolling quickly by, and today it's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday Plus Challenge and I've loved being back seeing all your wonderful creations again.
A dear friend of our celebrated her 80th birthday just recently and I wanted to make her a special card. I had a 'rummage' through my many craft supplies and decided on this beautiful Carnation Crafts design.
I printed the decoupage, which is a free download from Carnation Crafts, cut it with the accompanying die, and then layered it using 3d. Normally, I would have used 3d glue for an intricate design, but I'm finding the fumes from any glue are affecting my breathing quite a lot, so I'm sticking with foam pads for now (it's a bit too chilly to have the window open!). Sorry, I digressed! I cut out mats and layers from co-ordinating card using more of the dies in the set. The base card was embossed with my favourite embossing folder and I die cut Viv's name using an alphabet set, also from carnation. A few ombre pearls were added to complete the design.
I've had a few little hiccups with my health this last couple of weeks, but am pleased to say that our lovely Bailey has been close by my side 'looking after' me! As you can see from the following photo, I'm keeping occupied, even when not up to sitting in my craft room!
Thanks for visiting my blog today. I hope to see your creations over on the challenge blog.
