I love making cards but just don't have that many people to give them to, so when I read in her blog that, Phindy's Place designer, Philomena's sister was very ill and needed some encouragement I decided this would be a perfect opportunity to make a card that would actually be sent to someone.
I used a crocus image from Paper Garden which I coloured with Copic markers. The sentiment is from a Melissa Frances sentiment set. I didn't have anything of the appropriate size/dimension so I just stamped the image repeatedly over the 2 squares which I think ends up looking quite nice. The final touch were border strips along the side and bottom. I decorated the envelope with a third copy of the crocus image.
Recipe:
- Paper Garden, digital stamp
- Melissa Frances, sentiment
- Martha Stewart, border punches
- Copic markers
- Basic Grey, patterned paper
- Crafty Ho's, sketch
Such a beautiful card Shelly.
