All right, so here we are. Another really cold, wintery day. Spring is coming soon, right?
Today was one of those days where I created something (at work) and then re-created it about three more times... haha frustrating and a bit challenging. But it made me think outside the box. And I like that. The card below was made from pure inspiration (the papers) and fell right into place. It is the more natural, dare I say, easier creations that remind me to keep trying when it comes to the more challenging ones. The results are so worth it.
Here is the second card I made for my cousin-in-law, Katie.
I just love the look of this sail boat - reminds me of a quilt my mom made years ago. Anyways, I combined a few coordinating patterned papers to create the backgrounds and the boat (which I cut free hand - surprisingly!). I added some velvety rickrack as water and to add a bit of texture. The brown button was just begging to be put on the card and fell right there... and I liked it, so there it stays. I popped up the centre panel with foam squares and added a bit of ink to the edges. The metal clip - that maybe isn't very clear in the image - says "love" and I thought it was the perfect final touch.
Hope you have a great week!
Thanks for stopping by,
Lindsay
