I’m
still quilting away in the afternoons because we liked to walk in the mornings.
I finally see a bit of improvement on the sore throat so I opted to go for a
walk with hubby today. I only walked an hour but that was enough for today.
So,
seeing as this is looking like a green Christmas I found a card that was all
done in shades of green and I’m posting it today.
I
love this frog stamp. It’s one of my favourites and such a fun stamp for a boy’s
birthday card. Now we grandmas like to give a card to a non-birthday sibling if
they are very young at the same time the birthday person gets a card so I like
to keep a few on hands that would fit that occasion too and this one does just
that. It will work for either. This time I coloured the image with alcohol markers. For the background
piece on the right, I took several shades of left over green paper and cut them
into strips of various widths and then taped them together on an angle, then
cut them to the size of the card base. I added a solid green on the left side
and glued a ribbon down the seam. The rectangles were cut with the Spellbinder
Card Creator set and then I added some green buttons, also from my stash. The
sentiment is from Hot Off the Press, I think. The blue around the image is chalk.
I’ve
shut down quilting operations for the night. My shoulders are sore from
hunching over the machine. I keep telling myself now to do that but myself does
not appear to be listening. I’m off now to shower and then watch “It’s a
Wonderful Life”….for about the 30th or 40th time!
That’s
all for a Monday,
Cheers
Violet
