This card was made very quickly on my return so that I could get it off in the post to her when I went into town today to do some much needed shopping.
My Card
Sorry, it's a bit wonky!!
My card is slightly more than 5 x 7" but it because it is flat it just fits into the envelope.
I used SB Framed Labels 18 3D embossing folder which I have had for quite some time and not used. I used the letter press technique and Spun Sugar distress ink to colour the folder. It makes for such a quick, but very pretty, card. The sentiment is from Quietfire Designs and I felt was very appropriate to the situation because there is still some way to go. I stamped it onto pink pearlescent card stock and die cut it with SB Labels 18 to fit. I used the same pink card stock to die cut some SB butterflies from Jewel Flowers and Flourishes. I even added some little pink "blobs (as "Ollies Mam" calls them) to the butterflies, flowers and the Labels 18 shape.
My BF Mollie
Whenever I visit my sister I have a bedroom companion. Mollie always sleeps under my bed and has done since she was a couple of months old. She abandons her "parents" and becomes my constant companion! I came from the bathroom after my shower one morning and she was enjoying the comfort of my bed!! Poor little thing doesn't quite know what is going on at the moment with her "dad" missing and her "mum" in and out of the house all the time.
Well that's it for today. Hope you have all been keeping well over the last couple of weeks. Hopefully I shall now have some time to to do some blog visiting and see what you have all been up to in my absence.
Take care.
Beautiful card Christine. xxxx
