Honesty Heart Thank You Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How it everyone doing? What strange times we are living in. My husband is working from home. We have managed to buy all we need. There is a very large jigsaw on the go. I have been needle felting and card making. I also have lots of books to read. I am also trying to get out for a walk every day but of course not interacting with anyone.

Back in February when things were normal I went to a workshop with John Lockwood aka John Next Door. It was the day after the Farnborough Craft show (oh boy am I glad I bought all that glue). We stayed over night in a hotel where we spent most of the evening talking to the couple on the next table who were also there because of  the Craft Show. A bit later Dawn Bibby and her entourage came in and had a meal.

This is the card that I started at the workshop but finished at home.


I found a patterned paper in my stash. 


At the workshop we stamped the Blossom stamp then we used Izink Ice to colour the paper. The stamp still showed through. When this was dry the Blossom Die Plate was use to cut out the flowers. The flowers were shaped that is as far as I got. At home I put the flowers together and I added a gem. The Star Flower leaves were used to accent the flower. 


I also cut the Honesty Heart die I backed it with a pale colour and I gave the heart a black mat. The sentiment was cut with the Thank You die from the Sentiments 1 die set. All the dies I used are from the John Next Door range. 


There you have it. Not quite what we were meant to make but I like it. I always make something better when I have a chance to think about it. 

Stay safe and well

Happy Crafting
