I haven't made many cards lately as you know but here is the first of the Thank-You cards I have set myself to make for the nurses and hope to give in the next week or two. As you can see I have incorporated the Thanks a bunch circle sentiment that I showed you yesterday.
I have used the lovely image "Busy Doing Nothing" from Sheena Douglass that I have used before and which I stamped,as before, on to watercolour card and coloured with watercolour paints.You may have guessed that she is my favourite.
As you can see I have used several layers in my design. First the base card is an 8"x 8" scalloped edge card from Craft UK.The pretty blue background paper is from Cute Companions Vol 1. I made the doily on my Silhouette machine and threaded satin ribbon through some of the holes and I think the result is effective.
The image is layered on to blue metallic card from DCWV as is the circle sentiment which I generated on my computer.I used a scrap of the same card for the MS Butterfly (another favourite). I can't remember the make of the flowers which I bought ages ago but I think you will be seeing a lot of them as I have a shoe box full of them in lots of different colours lol . Finally,did you notice the shine on the dress ribbon ? I wanted it to look like satin so I added Glossy Accents and it seemed to work.
