I saw a card that Tracey had made in the shop and decided that is how I wanted the card to look like! Unfortunately Tracey had left her stamp at home, but I remembered a stamp that I had, would work just as well! Go here to see Tracey's card.
I first stamped the image, I then stamped the image again on a separate piece of paper! I coloured in the image and then cut out the flower and the buds, which I stuck over the flowers and buds of the first stamped image! I then coloured in the rest of the image!
It was then basically, tearing, distressing, inking, matting and layering!
Tracey's card is a single fold, but as seeing it was Mum and Dads 40th, I decided to change it into a gate fold, with added ribbons! I trawled the Internet for suitable verses to print out, but when I went to print LAST NIGHT, (typical of me, last minute), my printer decided to take a rest and would not wake up arggghhhhh, so after several attempts at handwriting the verses, had to be neat and readable and also fit into a certain amount of space! And anyone who knows me and my writing I don't do neat, readable or small!!! Looking at the finished card, I think all my hard work paid off as the handwriting gives it that personal feel!
Mum and Dad were delighted with it, got a bit emotional really, as the verses fitted perfectly with the the lives that they have had!!!!
Love ya Mum and Dad
