How has your weekend been going? We had planned to get a lot of gardening done yesterday. The best laid plans, we did manage a couple of hours before the rain started in earnest. On the plus side we have booked four trips to our local theatre. It is just up the road at the secondary school it has 300 seats and they get some good comedy acts there.
Last Thursday I was lucky to have a completely free day. It was the perfect time to craft. Anyway I got a message from someone I know who asked if I could make a leaving card to be picked up later that afternoon. I love a challenge so I agreed. I had just made a Christmas card with the Snowflake Square Die set from John Next Door and it comes with two dies that have an interesting stitched effect. So I used them to make the top two layers. I created the sentiment on the computer.
I used the Pitcher of Daisies image which is a free image on the Beccy's Place blog. I created a background in Publisher and place the Pitcher on top. I also printed three other pitchers all the same size which meant that I could decoupage the image as I wanted. Normally I would use gel glue for decoupage but as this was a rush I used foam pads. For speed I used the precoloured image.
This card has been picked up and given to the recipient so it is okay to share it. Enjoy whatever you are doing this weekend.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie

You did great. You must be very quick thinking to make such a lovely card at short notice. I tend to need a couple of nights to think over things when I have requests.
