Little things?

 Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well, thanks for joining me. My card today was a chance make. I was in my Silhouette files and the picture of the file hadn't downloaded properly and was showing half the image, this is what I saw - 

 this is what it should have looked like
  
 
However I saw it as a card with just the half image and that is what I have made today. I used the whole flower image and added a 11 inch by 2.5 inch strip, I joined the flower image to the strip and I had my shaped card! 

I then searched for dandelion papers in my files and came up trumps with this lovely one I have had since 2013. After printing, I cut the paper to size for the front of the card layering onto black paper. I coloured the little House-Mouse, sent to me by Lee, who asked if I wanted some images after I had commented on one of her cards, I was over the moon to say yes, so thanks again Lee. I also have others, that she sent, that I shall be using asap.

After colouring I die cut the image and a shadow layer, matching the paper. I decided as he is such a simple image I would pretty the card up a bit, to show him off more, I couldn't do CAS, sorry. I coloured the flower part of the card and add die cut flowers, colouring the centres to the shape. I computer generated the sentiment on the insert and printed it out.  For a card I didn't know I was going to do, it turned out quite well I think? It already has someone I know who will receive it.

On a different subject, I did at least 20 or more comments last night and Blogger said "Publishing" in a large black rectangle, but the comment stayed there. I left them and went back to each one and the comment was still there, so I repeated this process at least 5 times on each one. SO! If you have had many comments saying the same thing, I'm sorry, if you haven't had any, I promise I made them! If I have time I will try again today or tomorrow.

Flower bouquet


Hi Everyone, my card today is for my SiL who's birthday it is today. She loves Autumn colours and when I saw a "special" magazine that I liked the look of, I bought it for Autumn. I was looking through the magazine and this card caught my eye and I decided to use all the ingredients in the mag and make it.

I did what I hadn't done before, stamping, then colouring the stamps on printed paper supplied in the magazine, using more paper as an addition for the "bouquet wrapping" and all with instructions on how to do it by Teresa Morgan. I love the card and thrilled how it turned out. I also love the paper background to the flower and will certainly look at doing it again, the sentiment was done in the same way as the flowers. Of course I had to add her age. I hope my SiL will love it too.
