I love Graphic 45 papers, but I am very bad at using the papers when I buy them. Making a birthday card for my special friend Jo who love miniature details provides a perfect excuse.
This is a 8 x 8 card with all the little elements fussy cut and layered up. I added some smashing shell embellishments from K & Co, these have glittered detail, but I felt they were a perfect addition to my design. You can see the sparkle here.
I am enjoying working in my new craft space. I gradually seem to be refining the organisation of my space and a green vegetable rack purchased in the Hospice furniture shop for £1 has given me three levels of extra useful space. I have made about 6 cards, including some Christmas cards this week, so my productivity seems to be pretty good at the moment, more of that later.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. It is pretty chilly here today, such a shame as we are off to a garden party today, it is definitely feeling like autumn is in the air! I am glad we had our holiday when we did!

A fabulous card, Elaine. It made me smile as soon as I opened the envelope as it has all the things I love. Think it will still be on my mantelpiece when the summer outside has faded. Thank you x
ReplyDeleteThe gingham background reminds me of a tablecloth spread out on the sand for a picnic. I can see you had a lot of fun making this with all the little elements. Really summery vintage.

I just know how much Jo will have enjoyed this wonderful card Elaine. Definitely a nostalgic smiley card crafted with love and care.
