Today is FAMILY DAY in Canada. It’s a statutory holiday created for families to spend the day together….but in reality I think it was created for a break between Christmas and Easter. We are retired and no family live near us to spend a day with in February so its just another day for us ….we hate driving in the winter in case a snow storm blows in so we seldom visit family by car in the winter. There is an area called “the snow belt” between here and our family which means they get a lot of lake effect snow storms that no one else gets and those storms can be brutal. That’s another reason why I’m looking forward to spring and then summer….no snow!
So today’s card was simple to make but I really like how it turned out.
I found that pretty paper in the stash and decided to use it instead of re-stashing it. There was another piece of paper in the same paper pack that I used as the background paper which I glued onto to a white card base leaving a thin border. Then I cut the designer paper into two strips and glued them to the background paper. A piece of dark blue cardstock…also from the stash… was cut to fit in the middle but was glued to a white piece of cardstock that as just a little bit larger. The sentiment was heat embossed in white onto the blue cardstock and a few gems were added. I donate cards to our local hospice and I’m thinking this style would be easy to make.
That’s all for a sunny but cold Monday February 19, 2024.
Cheers
Violet
