A very green farewell

One of my staff is moving on to take up a new challenge in her career so I made her this card, it's an A4 folded in half to allow everyone to write a comment for her.  I know she's a bling girl and green is one of her favourite colours so this monochromatic card is what I came up with.

 Sorry the pictures were taken under artificial light as I need to get this card to work today for everyone to sign it and don't have the opportunity to take pics in good light.

I've used the Card Patterns Sketch for my card, and really like the way it turned out.  Lots of SU stamps used here and the Martha Steward butterfly punches and ribbon edge punch.

Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, Handsome Hunter (retired) and Whisper White.

Cheers,

Mmmmm Chocolate...

The ladies over at Just Add Ink have the most awe inspiring Easter challenge, forget your cute little bunnies and chicks.....bring on your favourite chocolate bar and well of course you just have to eat some of the chocolate while you create.....oh that explains the chocolate coloured smudges!

So here is my chocolate inspiration......apart from Haigs chocolate when I can get my hands on it, this is the next best choice for me.  Dark Chocolate has theraputic health benefits....all the experts say so!

And here is the card I made inspired by the chocolate wrapper colours. I did tone the green down just a little.  This is a case of a case....LOL well I cased this design about 3 years ago and I'm sorry to the original artist, I didn't take down details at the time, I created one in burgundy, caramel and soft green which was just beautiful.  I've used the same design but different colours and stamps this time.

It's a little difficult to see in the picture, but I've used a gold leafing pen to jazz up the flowers a little.

Back to blogging

Well it's only been a few days and I'm not sure how much I'll get done in the next two weeks, recouperating from surgery so I'm in the craft room for a short time, then on the couch then back to the craft room then bed. Just taking it easy really, as I feel better I'm sure I'll be creating and posting more.

This effort is for a few challenges.
Inkspirations Challenge ~ Sketch

Fussy and Fancy ~ Valentine with no red or pink

Play Date Cafe ~ Black White and Lilac or Purple (naturally I used both)

Danielle's Birth Announcement

I created this to celebrate the birth of my beautiful granddaughter Danielle Leigh. Along with a matching card. I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to create.
