We are having a fairly nice day here in Ontario but it was very windy and rainy all weekend – lots of flooding along the Lake Erie shoreline once again….and some rain predicted for every day for the next two weeks – some days as low as 40% chance, others up to 80% chance, including Halloween night. Rats, we picked up a huge box of chocolate bars last Friday so we could end up having a lot left over. I’m not fond of chocolate but Joe loves it so I guess they’ll get eaten.
Yesterday one of our grandsons turned 15 and this is the card I made for him.
Cards for teenage boys are the hardest to make for me. For this card I had that two coloured triangle square made up for something else and never used it so I decided it would be a good start for a card for him. I pulled more paper from the same paper pack and glued it on a Kraft card base. There was a piece of colourful striped paper in that pack so I cut one into a strip to add some interest to the card. Then I took two striped pieces, glued them together to make them thicker and die cut the ‘15’ using an old Cuttlebug die; glued it to a piece of stitched die cut rectangle on Kraft cardstock; and then glued it to triangle piece. The sentiment is actually brown but the photo changed the colour of it. It was die cut three times and glued together.
That’s all for a sunny, lovely Monday on October 28, 2019.
Cheers
Violet
