Last nice day....and a Card

            Looks like this will be the last nice day before it turns cold again. We keep hearing about Hurricane Michael and that sounds like one wicked hurricane. Hopefully everyone that was told to evacuate does so and there is no loss of life…..unfortunately there is bound to be a lot of property damage but at least it can be rebuilt or replaced.

        Today’s card is another one of those ‘lets see if this will work’ cards and I really like how it turned out. 

        Yes, I’m still using some scraps from this old 8”x8” paper pack……and I have lots of full pages left. I took some of the bits; taped them together at the back; trimmed them to 4” x 5 ¼”; added gold peel-off strips over the seams and glued it to a standard card base. I found some deep burgundy cardstock that was a darker colour than the paper and die cut a Spellbinder’s oval from it and a smaller oval from another piece of the designer paper. Then I took some flower stems from the dollar store and ripped off the flowers and those ugly plastic centres and glued them together and added the fancy beaded centres….one of the flowers was a single so it was folded over like a bud but it doesn’t show well in the photo…it’s the one that the banner is tucked under. The leaves were die cut from cardstock similar in colour to the green in the paper and glued on first; then the flowers. The wide banner was hand cut and tucked under the flowers. A gold peel-off sentiment and tiny heart were added to the banner. I decided it needed something else so I die cut a black butterfly using a Memory Box die and glued it on….and called it done.

        That’s all for a lovely……but getting cloudy with a risk of yet another thunderstorm.….Wednesday, October 10, 2018.

Cheers
