Nautical Card for a poorly Friend

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? It was so cold on Saturday we did find it hard to go out for a walk. The Marks and Spencer Valentine's meal deal was very nice. Even if it wasn't lockdown this is the treat we would have had for Valentine's. I was also given some nice red, white and pink roses. I do like having flowers in the house. 

We are part of a small group at our church. We have been meeting weekly on Zoom. This way we can keep in touch with each other and what is going on in our lives. One chap in the group is in a bad way. He is in the Spinal Unit in Salisbury hospital after two operations on his back left him unable to walk. He has been in hospital since October. One of the ladies in the group suggested we all sent him and his wife cards on the same day. I decided to make a card. Here it is.  

Yes I went back to my Nautical Paper pad from the Works for this card. See the red dots in the corners they were made with the Mandala die set from John Next Door. I can use tiny bits of paper and get four dots with one pass of the die machine. 

I mainly  used the Nautical Scenes dies that came free with a magazine a while ago to make the scene. The clouds were to only addition and they came from Crafter's Companion. I used the Double Pierced Circle dies from Creative Expressions to make the mats and layers. Making a scene like this is a great way to use up scraps of paper of which I have many, 

The chap and his wife  were so touched by all the cards and messages they received. It was lovely to see their reaction when they joined us in the Zoom meeting on Thursday. We will have to think what we can do for them next. 

Have a good week

Happy Crafting
