Just a short post from me today... this is a card for my older brother and his wife... we're off to a family gathering on Saturday as it's their Golden Wedding anniversary this week! Can't wait to see everyone together... there are about 26 of us when you add in children, grandchildren etc. I had two brothers and a sister - but sadly my sister passed away a couple of years back... and I still miss her - especially at gatherings like this will be! But... I have wonderful memories of her and that's what counts!
Soooo....this card was inspired my Rosietoes on the DC forum (thank you!), who was in turn inspired by Pickle! The printing is done on the PC and is as near gold as you can get. If anyone wants the 'how to' to get the right colour... email me. I think the rest is self explanatory - embossing folder for the background, and a swirls one for the hearts.. hearts nestie... . MS hearts edge punch.... bit of ribbon etc... It's a bit of a different card for me.. (NO GLITTER.. swoon.....) But it's what I think will be right for the occasion, and nice that it's personalised.
Now... I've been spending! I've been having a few problems with my neck/head while I've been colouring lately... so I bought a basic table top drawing board which lifts my card to 45 deg from the table! It's BRILLIANT! It wasn't all that expensive - just under £60 - an expense I don't really need right now, but I think it'll be worth it's weight in gold.... and it folds flat - very easy to put away, so i can use it on the dining table and put it away when we eat!! LOL! I live close to a place that sells these boards - and a very nice man there let me have the board cheaper than advertised.... if anyone is interested.. email me, as he says he'd do the same if I wanted more.
OK, my post wasn't that short....
