The month of May has been filled with lots of not so happy news from illnesses to those who have gone to their final resting place. I need another card for a dear friend, who had serious surgery within a few days of my niece, which I noted in my last post. My friend will also be looking toward a lengthy recovery until she feels "normal" is a word she can use in her vocabulary again!
Besides flowers, I've been wanting to send her one of my handcrafted cards, which she always enjoys for her birthday! While making my niece's card, I was keeping in mind card ideas for my dear friend using a modified card kit design as well. Another thing I was keeping in mind was that I wanted to complete another SCS Alphabet Challenge, because I am so far behind (comes from being crafting AWOL with knee surgery!!). Here is my second card kit re-design, using parts from one original design and parts from another. Take a peek below...I think my friend will be pleased.
Ingredients: Stampin' Up products: Cardstock--Dapper Denim, Flirty Flamingo. Stamps--Heartfelt Blooms (2018 SAB). Ink--Dapper Denim, Baked Brown Sugar (ink distressing). Dies--Lots of Labels framelits. Embossing Folder: Fancy Dots (2016 AC). Perennial Birthday Kit (2018 Occ): materials from two different card designs: floral disp + white/floral shaped tag + ribbon/ twine. Other: Spellbinder die: Labels 10 (sentiment). Punch: EK Victorian Medium Photo Corner. 5/8" Gold Glitter Washi Tape. Pretty Pink Posh sequins. Chatterbox verse (Bob Marley quote modified). Size: 4-3/4" x 6".
What a beautiful card, Carlene, and I love this DP you've used! Your layout is gorgeous with the dies and the beautiful way you've added the sentiment with the ribbon and twine! It's lovely and will be loved so much! So sorry for all the "hard" cards to have to make. But they are also the ones that are often most loved (especially with the sweet notes of encouragement inside). Hugs! xoxo
