I hope you have had a good week. It has been a busy one for me. The weekend ahead is going to be busy too. I am very lucky that my lovely hubby is taking me to the Farnborough Craft show on Saturday. Then we are visiting our parents that live up that way. On Sunday we are taking back the hamster we have been looking after for our daughter and son-in-law. I hope we get to share a meal with them as well.
As some of you know I help my very talented friend at her felting workshops. She keeps a box of scraps and I found a lovely piece of felt that must have been trimmed from a bigger project.. I asked if I could keep it to make a card and she kindly agreed.
I hung onto to the piece of felt for a while and I finally decided to make it into a card for our anniversary which is at the beginning of April. I do like to be ahead with my makes. You never know what might happen.
The backing paper came from some packaging. The card is scored so the flap doesn't reach the other side. I can't remember what this style of card is called. I did put some paper on the inside so that I can write a message.
So the background piece is the original piece of felt and I needle felted a little boat onto it. I created the mats and layers with my guillotine.
I added some Washi tape to the design. The sentiment was cut with some Britannia Dies.
I think you can see how the card is folded from this picture. It is okay for me to share this card as my hubby doesn't look at my blog or Facebook Page.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Happy Crafting

A wonderful card and so unique
ReplyDeleteJackie, this is beautiful! I love the colors you have chosen. Wishing you a great visit with your parents and a great time at the Show! (on another note - Jackie, I don't have your email address - but my eyes are unfortunately worsening. Some of my blogging friends have tiny fonts on their blog posts, and sometimes, I'm unable to read it. So I'll still be visiting to see your beautiful works of art, but I may not be able to read the post to know what is happening. For this, I deeply apologize, and hope you will forgive any important news I might miss.) Wishing you a great week-end. hugs, de
