Morning everyone, how nice it is to be able to visit blogland again. Yesterday, I spent recovering from being on the stall all day on Saturday also caught up on a weeks worth of blog posts around the world.
Today I would like to share with you this card I made for Sister Carmel who was part of my life in Grade 5. As you can see she turned 80 just recently. My Mum asked if myself and friends (5 of us) would give a card with a couple of words in there for her. I certainly enjoyed catching up with my friends and bringing back such good memories.
I decided to do a joy fold card. Started with purple Bazzill card and then a layer of green bazzill card which I ran through my Victoria embossing folder. On the inside I have used a pearlised white paper and ran it through my Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then coloured this lovely Fuchsia image by Ruth with my Copic pens. Next I finally got to use my 80th birthday sticker on this card. :-)
I would love to enter this into the following challenges.
Here is our stall at the markets. We had such a lovely day. Very cold to start with. As I left the house at 6.20am it was 8C......brrrr... The day warmed up and the winds set in but there were lots of customers too. This is my best markets ever. Selling over 30 cards. Normally I manage to sell about 10. So I am still beaming.
Best go and do some work ....have a great day everyone.
