At the beginning of the year one of our Craftmad members sent to everyone her unfinished cards. (Pinterest album here for Finish a Card challenge) This is one I received, so made it up into a card for my mother in law.
The end result. I found the lovely daisy patterned paper for the background. Again put vellum behind the die cut and then layered that on purple card stock which I hand cut to shape. I punched out plain vellum flowers and then coloured wiht copic pens to match the papers. I am really happy with the end result and it was fun working with something that some else started and getting a good result. I was on such a high that I tried the next unfinished card I was given but it was a lost cause. The more I added to it the worse it got so it's in the bin with no photos taken. Not all cards can be rescued. :-)
I used this Craftmad February sketch for my Mum's Mother's Day card. I also thought this a good opportunity to try a pop up diorama card, tutorial here.
The inside of the pop up diorama card. This card lays flat when closed, so great for mailing.
Lovely cards Merry, the first looks very stylish with the pretty die cut.
