Absent purpose.

(Catchupmaggedon Post) So because I had all my oriental papers out to make the Get Well Soon Panda card, I thought I might make something fun using stuff that took my fancy from the stash. 

A quick disclaimer, it's not quite finished, I left off any wording so I could alter it to fit the purpose it was needed for. I think it would make a nice wedding card but could be just as nice for a birthday etc.

One of my friends gifted me these beautiful paper-cut animals on the thinnest of tissue papers. I have wanted to include them in a project for a long time. I think the paper set I used to compliment them is from Dovecraft, not completely sure though, it's an old 8x8 pad from the stash.

I think this is called a "book fold" card - I bought some blanks along time ago for it. Apart from needing a lot of matting and layering I think it's a lovely fold to use. Especially if you have a pair of images to use on the panels in the centre. It folds very flat for posting too.

Included a picture so you can see a bit more of the mechanics. Now I just need someone to send it too! 

Anniversary Card for Gardeners

Another commission card, this time an anniversary card for two people who enjoy gardening.

From a distance I now realise it looks rather like a rattle! Or a bauble! However, it was meant to be a ring of garden images with the greeting in the middle!

Background is  blended Shaded Lilac and Bundled Sage Distress Inks, with flicked Wilted Violet and Lucky Clover and a final splosh of Cosmic Shimmer Golden Mint to add some sparkle! :)

The images are stamped with Brushed Corduroy, Shaded Lilac and Bundled Sage Distress Inks.

Stamps are from Buzzcraft Oliver's Orchard Characters and Captions No.485, Hunkydory Flutterbye Garden and Rose Garden by Clear Impressions. Also a freebie magazine set that I have now lost the details for! (oops!)

The font is Delinquente Demo.
