Cross Stitching

I was inspired by Jeannette Lyntons blog to make 6 of these thank you notes during some rare "free time" yesterday afternoon. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4b2X0faew4NgMHqP5xswnAULYJQzgvbWBsw4CXrRcAW0DhxTEPpVvwZiomPYPOioHFM9jXOu_fAaBlP54de45erHHnMhd9Y0TddX1ZvEJsplLK8NUlwieugeRHfe-NA7kIff98yppvcM/s1600/WOW_26-Dec_Card-2.jpg

The plain blue paper was sprayed with brown ink and stamped with a script verse in dark green. The clear floral buttons were laid over coloured paper to match the border of the square. I kind of like the funky kraft paper look with vibrant reds , browns, greens and yellows.

Christmas 2011

I really had fun doing 10 of these cards using prefolded kraft paper cards and matching envelopes by Close to My Heart. You cant see it in the photo, but there is a flap under the bottom of this card that is scallop edged and which folds up over the bottom edge of the card when closed. It helps the card stand upright better with a top fold . The paper is Elemental.

Serenity Butterflies



I had so much fun stamping the cardstock for the background on this card, and then creating the banner ribbons in beautiful matching papers with a vintage feel.
Eight of these were for my friend Bev, but I kept two for myself since they are so lovely.
