Have you ever started to work on a card, or a project and first just get stumped before you get any where and second get side tracked by something that has absolutely NOTHING to do with what you WANT to work on? Well it sure happened to me today. I woke up really wanting to make a particular card to submit to a challenge, and I just could not take any of the beautiful things I have and use them to create a card : (
But by accidentally looking at something that was just across the room, there went my idea... I had worked on this small piece a while back and just never found the right card to use it with .
So was it meant to be for me to create this card??? I believe it was : ) . After completing it I know without a doubt who it will be sent to. It is perfect to convey some words I have been been wanting to say to a very dear lady...
I used cool carribean as the base, and a piece of black card stock that I embossed with a fiscars template I added leaf and flower to add some color and the sentiment is embossed all over to give the glitter paper even more dimension and glitz. And the butterflies, well yes they are a sign of beauty and life, so I felt that they were just perfect to help carry my thoughts and message .
On the inside is a smaller card on a black base with a few words of inspiration...
I am quite happy with how this turned out, though the way it evolved has me wondering just what to do next...
Thanks so much for stopping by, with this cooler weather maybe I should keep some warm apple cider ready so we can sit and visit : )
Til next time, SMILE and make some one feel good about their self...
It's gorgeous Soni. I just love the simple colors and your flower is so pretty as well as your butterflies. I so love that sentiment too. Your friend will be just thrilled to receive this.
ReplyDeletethanks Maggie, I just cannot seem to get away from simple... : )
Deletetho in reality it is not a simple card...lots on the inside too and really sparkly and pretty in real life...
Pretty card! And yep, I think warm apple cider is just the ticket.
ReplyDeletethanks Kel, the inside really makes the card special ... just one of those ideas that kept on til I was done : )

ReplyDeleteIt's funny how cards can take on a life of their own isn't it. And how situations can mold what we do. I love your final outcome. The black base is perfect for the colors. Thanks for your lovely comment and card. It means so much to me. I hope you and your family are well. . .Best, Curt
