Hello to you all.
I’m doing something that I don’t do very often and that is I’m going to share I card that I’ve made but I’m not totally happy with. I like all of the elements of the card but the sum of all the parts isn’t what I’d hoped…
I thought about not showing you this one but it’s not that bad. If I had the choice of receiving this card or one from a High Street shop renowned for their 99p cards, I’d take this one every time! Lol. Handmade is best, every time.
I stamped my Whisper White thick card base with the fern from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Soft Sea Foam ink. I cut a piece of Whisper White card with the largest Stitched Rectangle die and then embossed it with the Country Floral embossing folder. I glued this to the card base at a jaunty angle and then chopped off the excess.
I stamped the smaller daisy from Daisy Lane in Daffodil Delight ink onto Whisper White card 4 times and cut each one with my Medium Daisy punch. I stamped the word Hello from the Well Said stamp set also in Daffodil Delight ink and cut that with the Classic Label punch. Finally I added a Clear Faceted Gem to the centre of my flower.
Some days OK is good enough. That’s a lesson I should remember more often.
Anyway, I will post this to someone tomorrow for #mailitmonday and I hope that the recipient will enjoy receiving it.
