Stripes and Gold Dots

         We are having some pretty nice weather for October and even the strong wind is coming from the south so it’s warm. It would suit me if it can just stay like this until next April and then start warming it.

        Today’s card was fun to make.

                         
    I found several of these dark wine-brownish strips in the stash and decided to use a few of them in a card instead of putting them back in the stash. This is actually a one layer card that I seldom make. The light mauve card was still on my desk that wasn’t used from a previous project and the strips looked pretty nice with it – nice contrast. So first the strips were trimmed down to various widths and adhered to the card on an angle. Then the 3-d flower sticker was glued on. It needed something else and lo and behold I found a package of bows the same colour as the strips and it was glued in place. But it just needed something else so I pulled out some Rangers gold liquid pearls and added little gold dots all over the card… and called it finished. I wasn’t sure if I wanted this as a birthday card or a thinking of you card so I didn’t add any sentiment to the front this time.

            That’s all for Wednesday, October 7, 2020.

Cheers
