Another Thankyou Card

Omg, yesterdays blog hop was so much fun! If you missed I highly recommend going to check it out, there are so many amazing projects to see. If you have seen the projects then maybe you will remember Petra Tailor's balloon slider card. I have been following her slider projects for a few days and just had to try to make my own! If you want to know how to make these effective cards then you should definitely go and check Petra's blog post here.

Now onto my card, I made this for my mum and she loves Purple, just like I do, so that was my choice for this card. I decided to try this style of card out using the Butterfly thinlits, I hope you like my take on this style of card, I will definitely have to play with it more in the future.

     

     

This card was so much fun to make I can't wait to play with this some more and really refine my designs.

102nd Birthday Card WWYS100

I hope everyone is having an amazing day! I have just been to see my magic man who works wonders on my neck and back and am enjoying the sweet relief of being headache free without the use of pain killers for the first time in seven days.

Before my treatment it was my honor to be asked to make a birthday card for an amazing women who is turning 102! I have had the honor of making her a card every year since I was first asked to make her 100th Birthday card and I wanted to do a good job.

For this card I took heavy inspiration from Bekka please follow the link on her name and show her the love she deserves, for without her amazing card this one would not have been possible in my state of mind when I made it last night.

I also stumbled across the What Will You Stamp challenge blog while I was searching for inspiration for this card and saw their current challenge was to ue the number of years stamp set, which was perfect for this card.

I originally used the stamps to place the 102 to the front of the card, however I didn't like the colour payoff of the Perfect Plum on the Crumb Cake card stock so I ended up using the thinlits to cut them out instead and placed a piece of perfect plum behind to make it blend better with the card. I then used one of the wonderful sentiments from the set on the inside.

     

All in all I loved making this card, and I am so thankful to have come across Bekka's card on pinterest as this is such a beautiful layout in my opinion.
