Today I was getting ready to make a birthday card for a sweet lady. She is a very special friend to my oldest daughter, but has extended so much kindness to me as well. Even though her birthday is today, and I knew I could not get this to her on time, I decided to make her a Happy card, not just a birthday card.
This image and words were a gift to me some time ago, and I sure wish
I could remember who it was from... But I loved what it said...
so I choose to create a card using it...I went with a card sized 4 x 7 1/2 , just a nice size for a change of pace : )
The base is perfect plum, with a thin mat of bashful blue, and the newer color of marina mist on top of that...and I believe the image was colored in marina mist and perfect plum as well
I used a piece of yarn like fiber in the color of pale plum and this was so easy to put together...
I think this is a lesson that things do not have to be difficult or fancy
to say what is in your heart...
I used the rock n roll technique to add butterflies to the envelope , just to add some extra love .
Great job on the card and envelope. Love the colors you used on them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maggie... I thought the colors worked well myself and you know I love butterflies : )
DeleteI love your card. I really like that it is a different size than the usual. - Brenda @ disneygirl
