New card.


 

You would never believe how long I sat staring at this trying to make it look the same as in my head, never happened so this is what I have. I first saw something abit like this....well not really but it gave me a nudge....on FB...anyhow, I started out well and I lost it, from there it was all guess work and I hope it looks OK...I think the gold saved it, but honestly my mojo is on the slide.


Just added some ink, roughly, cut the strip with a die, added some die cut leaves and then splashed gold around, layered onto gold card before adding to the actual card...even my explanations are getting worse....SORRY.... :)) oh and added some string for the bow...phew.


Side on.

Thats it, I am all over the place today heaven knows why..

On Wednesday I am being taken out with Mia and her brother Lucas, he is our driver, never been with him since he passed so should be fun, although he is a sensible young man honestly, still, the terror could set in at any moment, hahaha..

Hope your day went well, thanks so much for any comments you may leave, I will return the favour.


Footnote; Yesterdays post was the gnomes with the wobble, well I did take a little video of the wobble but can not get it loaded up, I have no idea why but thats why it never showed up, so sorry will keep trying. xxxx

I'm sure you will be alright on your first ride out! I was a bit wary when I went out with my Grandson, but, all was okay. Trouble is we still think of them as needing our help lol. x Enjoy xx

What a gorgeous card and elegant too Janette, don't worry about a wobble, I've been having them too, reading a few blogs so have others, must be all we have to do for Christmas is overwhelming us? My theory anyway. Good luck with Lucas, I'm sure he will be very careful driving with you and Mia.

I think this is lovely, Janette, but I know what you mean about that picture in your head. I do hope you had a lovely time with Lucas and Mia. Take good care!
