Friend Card

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful background is foiled in gold and it really makes the flowers prominent on the card.

They are coloured with alcohol markers in vibrant colours and then added with foam pads to the card front.

I don't remember where they are from as this was made quite some time ago but is another that went to the charity shop.

It is much prettier in the hand than the photo shows and the gold foiling looks lovely.

Again nothing new has been used and the items have  been around in my craft room for quite some time. 

Even the alcohol markers I have had for about seven years.

I cannot tell you where the dies are from or the sentiment, all I do know is that the finished card is an A6  and it fitted into a standard envelope and went to the charity shop.

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx

  4. That's gorgeous, Christina. I love the foil background and the way the flowers stand out so well. I was so pleased to read that your alcohol markers are still going strong after seven years, that gives me hope that all of mine, or at least most of them, will still have some life in them when I get around to use them.

  13. Good Morning Christina. Another lovely card today as always. And I am sure the charity shop loves it when you walk through their doors. It's very surprising when you start looking back through your things and find things you bought and never even opened. My sister and I did this lots of times when we had been to the craft shows. So like you Christina we have put a cap on what we buy and try only to buy what we need and use what we have. Thankyou Christina. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
