A quick and Easy Card

 I’m back! I haven’t been anywhere but I’m back! It’s just been so busy that I haven’t even turned the laptop on all week. The weather has not been kind to me either. We’ve had some vicious thunderstorms which trigger off my brain disorders so I was not in a computing mood all week. I did go down to the lower studio (aka the basement) yesterday and started on 12 cards to donate to our local hospice. Just about finished them today. Twelve more to make. I usually donate 24 every month or so. Tomorrow it is going to feel like over 100F here and, of course, more thunderstorms! Same for Saturday. But on Sunday, the temperatures will drop down to our normal July temps in the 70’sF. Thank goodness. Love the heat, hate the humidity.

Awhile back I bought some crafting supplies from FB Marketplace and the lady I bought them from, threw in some extras. One of which is the flower on this card. There was only one so instead of putting it in the flower stash, I made a card.

                                      
 I don’t have any of these types of dies - poor me, I know. So it was fun to see how I could use it. I found some purple/wine cardstock that picked up that same colour in the rose and made a card base. I used the other part to create that stitched background. I’m really loving these stitched backgrounds. Then I searched through the purple stash to find some coordinating paper. I inked the edges with the wine Distress ink, glued them smaller one behind the larger one and then glued the flower on, tucking some leaves underneath. Then three rhinestones were added. The sentiment is a gold peel-off.

This was a quick and easy card but I liked how it turned out.

 That is all for a hot and humid Thursday, July 27, 2023.

 Cheers
