I created several cards for my angel, Karen, this week. However, none of them seemed to be "right". I don't care if you create cards, scrapbook pages, jewelry or toilet paper, you know what I mean when i say nothing seemed "right". It usually takes me awhile to create anything from design to finish because I am always second guessing myself, but this was ridiculous!
I wanted to have it done yesterday, because tomorrow we are picking her up to go play bingo and it will be the first time I have seen her since she gave Glenn and I her wedding ring. So, the card pictured above is what I came up with... What do you think? Before you decide, here are a few more views.
This a closeup of the flowers that I made by layering Prima Flowers and adding a pearls to the centers.
And then this final picture is a close up of the tag that states "You Are". On the inside of the card I stamped the rest of the sentiment which states "Extraordinary". This could not be more true. She is most definitely an extraordinary woman. One does not meet woman like her often.
What I liked about the photo above is it really showed off how I painted on Crackle Accents to give the picture a subtle crackle effect. Love that stuff!
Wish us luck tomorrow at bingo. After last week we are going to need it. LOL!
Until Next Time... Take Care!
Welcome to the Bloggerette Sonority. Hope you have lots of fun. There are so many nice people blogging out there and it enables us to make friends all over the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by. I'm very exciting about being in a Noel Coward play. I've done lots of acting in the past but have only just started again after getting married and raising a family. xx
so elegant love it
ReplyDeleteI think its a beautiful card, of you did want to change it then perhaps move the bow to the other corner on the top but to be honest that is being very very picky. I think she will love it!

I think the card is very pretty. I really like the crackle effect. Good luck with bingo!!!!! Love ya, Kim :)

I was tickled pink you stopped by The Vintage Nest and left such a nice comment. The bloggerettes are going to have such a good time. Your card is beautiful and how could she not love it? It was made from the heart! Have a super great and sweet weekend. ~ Lynn
ReplyDeleteYou'll know when it's done! I understand completely, though. Sometimes I just let something 'sit' for a few days to make sure everything is in order!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog (you're a natural). You are very talented!
Thanks for coming by to see me, too. I'll be going out to get that velvet dress soon!
Good to meet you, Bloggerette Sister! Hope we get to know each other better over time.
You live in a beautiful state. I'm in Colorado.

ReplyDeleteWelcome new sister! What beautiful projects you have! So glad I found your blog. I'll be following. Love the tag tutorial, I wondered how people got that look on a tag :0)
ReplyDeleteHi was good to have your visit the first thing I read this morning...welcome to Blogging and Bloggerettes! I was born in OK..lived in Miss until I was 4, the rest of the time (for the most part) I have been here in ND. I hear WA has such a fantastic climate, especially for gardening. Do you garden? Have a fabulous day.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my blog and introducing yourself! Its wonderful to meet new bloggers and especially a new Bloggerette! I see you like paper crafts too! Your card is beautiful. I have not tried that crackle accent yet. I like the effect it gave that picture. I am going to try it! I am going to click you as a favorite shop so that I can come back and visit often!

Hi Sherry!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Sorority! Thanks for visiting Brynwood and leaving a comment for me. In answer to your question, I purchase a washable fabric that can be run through my inkjet printer. I do the layouts myself in a Print Shop program. I get the fabric from Blick Art Supply, but there is also a great washable cotton fabric you can purchase at quilt shops, or Joann Fabric. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.
Looking forward to getting to know you better.
xoxo

Hi, Sherry...It's Margaret, from the Rusty Plum. I guess you can't get to the comments on my blog, for some reason, if you click from the tab at the beginning of the blog. You will have to go to the blog archive on the right hand column and click on "6/13 - 6/20" to find the post for the giveaway, if you click on it there, the comments will show up and you will be able to leave one, as well. Technology...Sorry, this has become such a hassle!

Hi, Sherry! Thanks for visiting my blog @ cherischatter. Would you believe I just looked at your blog last night after seeing it mentioned or listed on someone else's. Then today you had a message for me. I'm relatively new to blogging too but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm sure you will too. You are so talented and creative! I keep hoping some of you will rub off on me!!! Loved your post about your "angel."
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry. Welcome to the sisterhood. I think I was already following you, hah. Thanks for stopping by Cozy Blanket. I love to scrap and do paper crafts. Hoping that others in the society do. I like to do some swaps.
