I love it. This sketch was SIMPLE. Ummm in case the Mojo bosses *giggle* are reading this, the feedback I get is that "simple is good" - not that WE are simple, we can handle it yeah yeah, but Simple goes so nice and quick - allowing us to perhaps do a few cards at once if our time permits. Don't listen to me, I'm just thinking out loud here.
I know, it's sentiment-less at the moment, but I need a few like this which are made up ahead and I could stamp at the last minute for a surprise occasion. You know, the one that sneaks up on you and you have every card except "that" one!
I don't know any of the papers but the flower, now there's a story in that. I was doing some of my "Simplify Your Life" work today (one closet a day keeps the inner-hoarder away *snort*) and I came across a pretty doily with pansies ringed all around it. Now I knew I would not use that doily for furniture and so my one hand was wrestling with the other hand as it tried to deposit it into the give-away box, when I had an inspiration flash!
I spent an hour trimming the pansies off of the main doily and now I have a couple of dozen flowers for cards.
With a gold gem glued in the middle, a green leaf beneath, it looks perfect! K, I will be quiet now, for today, anyway.
Your card is beautiful Aunty Barb! I really like the soft tones you chose to go with.
ReplyDeleteThere you go being all creative/thrifty again with your doily :) you are such a genius!
I like your cute little bits of rambling/thinking out loud its cute and i could just hear your voice going off...it was wonderful.
I hope you have a wonderful week and i hope to be back on board next week.
Big hug and lots of love!
Good morning Barb:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a COOL idea..taking the flowers from a doily.:)Another COOL idea is "make ahead"cards.I have plenty of those now that I have joined Mojo Monday.hehe.:)They have already come in handy for Christy.She worked and wasn't able to get a birthday card for someone and I offered one of mine.:)That was a FAST problem solver.LOL
I LOVE your card!!! So happy you were able to get one up so quickly!! I am still working on one.Not sure I like it yet.:)Time will tell.
I posted about our busy weekend ..if you would like to see.:)Just walk in the door..it's open!!! Will email you soon.:)
Love,
Valinda
Beautiful card sis, the flower you saved from the doily is very pretty. Great job with all your sorting and cleaning.
