I trust you have had a good day. It's been a bit of awful here - I've come down with a sore throat and generally not feeling well so accomplished absolutely nothing at all :( No crafting, no housework - nothing, nil, zilch ... nada!!!
That being so, the card I'm sharing this evening is one I made earlier.
Made for my firstborn grandson's 24th birthday. I simply used a Kanban topper, matted on to toning cardstock and embellished with some twine and a greeting. But how dumb can a grandmother get? I thought I was choosing an image of a football player but it wasn't until I'd completed the card that I realised this was a rugby player ... not one of my three grandsons plays rugby. Fortunately, William loved the card and completely forgave his old Gran's mistake :))
Materials: white card base; topper from Kanban's The Champion set; brown card for matting; natural button twine; greeting stamp from Ladybug Craft's It's Only Words set stamped with VersaMark and gold embossing powder.
Not much for you this evening - I'm off to take a couple more tablets and it will be an early bed for me tonight.
But before I do, an appeal! Now that the festivities are completely done with I'm looking at a new look for the blogger again. And this time I really would like to create my own header. I believe it can be done in Serif Craft Artist but I'm not sure where to start. If any of you clever folk out there have any hints and tips, I would be grateful if you could pass them my way - otherwise I'm struggling.
Right, there's a cuppa with my name on it downstairs so I'm off.
Take care all, and happy crafting,
I think that this is a marvellous card Elizabeth. I hope that you are not getting that flu that is going around - take care. Marie-Louise
ReplyDeleteGreat card there! Kate, Anniie or Sam might be able to help with the header - I try to leave well alone I'm afraid :(

Great card Elizabeth and sorry to hear you are feeling poorly.

Sorry no help with the blog banner and header...I am hopeless with the computer...I am always afraid I will wipe out my blog!!!
