It’s almost the end of 2024 and time to reflect on the past
and plan for the future. I’m more of a plan for the future person and I plan to
stay healthy and be creative. We had a very green and wet Christmas here in
Ontario. In fact, yesterday it was 54F here – very unusually high temperatures
for the end of December. Today it has been raining all day but still mild. More
rain for the next couple of days too. It’s better than snow. I stay inside and
make cards or quilt.
Today’s card was made using paper from a 6”x 6” paper pad that
I had no idea how to use in a card. I
was tired of storing it and decided to just experiment with it. Here is what I
came up with.
The original piece had roughly the same pattern on the left as
the right. So the first thing I did was to cut it down to the 4x5.25. But that
left the left side completely blank. So I pulled out a seldom used lace border
stamp and stamped it along the left side. Not bad actually. Then I took the
piece that was cut off and die cut a tag from it. That was enough to bring the
same colours to the left side. A gold peel-off sentiment was added to the tag along
with a tied bow. Then some die cut butterflies were added. It was mounted on a
bright turquoise blue card base which really made it pop. It turned out better
than I thought it would.
That’s all for a very wet Sunday December 29, 2024.
Cheers
Violet
