A new friend just had a birthday (I only just found out) and I wanted to make her a card. I wanted something soft and gentle because this lady, wow, nothing seems to phase her, she is always so calm, always speaks in the most gentle voice! Such a contrast to me.
Paper: cardstock (PTI); designer paper (Simple stories - Fabulous)
Ink: HA (Bubblegum mid-tone ink; Soft Pool shadow ink); Gray Flannel - Memento); Antique Linen Distress ink
Stamps: PTI (Lace Bouquet; Tiny Tags I)
Other: Tiny Tags DIe (PTI); PTI butterfly die: Martha Stewart butterfly punch; HA pearl; Twine (The Twinery); corner chomper
It was a hot an muggy day here yesterday, 93F! No rain, yippee! But no air-conditioning either!
The Craft Market is over and I received my reconciliation last night and am very happy to have sold 50% of my goods. Now I just hope that there are enough Christmas cards left so that I don't have to make another ONE for my personal use! I had made 4 little treat boxes with some chocolates in and they were embellished for Teacher's gifts and those went on the first day, so maybe there is a demand for those kinds of gifts as the school year winds up here for us in South Africa.
Have an awesome day!
