GET WELL SOON CARD FOR MY MOM

Wow this is probably the most important card I've ever made.  I just wanted it to be so good.  My mom is going into Hospital tomorrow to have a Hip Replacment.  I know there's nothing to worry about.  Thousands are done every year etc...  But it's my mom and I've been through so much pain in my life and I hate to see other people suffer from pain too.

So I made this card for her using Marianne Dies, Heart Felt Creations Dies and Stamp for the Flower, Centura Pearl Paper and Card, a sentiment topper that I've had for years in a drawer, so I'm not sure who made that.  The Leaves are also from fake flowers and leaves that i buy randomly when ever I see any.  And I then went mad with the Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue pearl dots around the card.  Maybe a couple too many I think.  For the inside I printed a simple message on Centura Pearl Paper then cut it out using a Tonic Die, and for the leaf corner embellishments i used one of the Spellbinders Die-lites Die Fantastic Flourish Two.

Here's the card;



ANNIVERSARY CARD FOR MY DEAR FRIENDS.

I've not been crafting for a while.  Sometimes when I have no birthdays or occasions to make cards for I take a break from it.  I don't sell any of my crafts.  I don't think anyone would buy them, and they cost far more to make than I would get if i sold them.  I do the cards for family and friends and the other crafts for me, family or friends.  Having comments from followers is wonderful and It gives my confidence a real boost when someone says how lovely a project is that I've made.

Anyway here's an Anniversary Card I have made for my Dear friends.  It's nearly all Centura Pearl Paper and Card, Spellbinders Dies, Sentiment Dies by Britannia Dies and Heartfelt Creations dies and Stamp set with a few Flowers and Gems.  Oh and the Sue Wilson Technique of doing Pearls around the card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue in Cosmic Pearl.
