Thinking of You

Evening Everyone,

I hope you are all well and that you've had a good day. And a very warm welcome to my newest followers, Lynn and Traby1 ... neither of you appear to have a blog - yet! Perhaps that will change soon and we'll get to know you both better.

Posting here has been somewhat erratic this last few weeks but hopefully that's just a temporary glitch and normal service will be resumed as my energy level returns to normal. In the meantime, I've a little Thinking of You card to share with you.

The topper, part of a collection of ready stamped images that were a gift from a crafty friend a couple of years ago, was coloured during my recent watercolouring session making this card a quick and easy make.

How I made it:

- first, I embossed the front of a white card base (A6 size) using Erwin Snellen's Autumn Leaves background folder from Nellie's Choice. I know it's well past autumn but I wanted a nature themed background for this folder and the leaves could pass for poppy leaves - well, in my world anyway :)

- next, I matted the topper on to a snippet of moss green core'dinations card then wrapped some narrow satin ribbon, also moss green, round the topper and finished off with a bow. 

- finally, I matted the Thinking of You greeting (I think it's from Craftwork Cards but I've had them so long I can't be sure) on to an oval mat punched from what was left of the moss green card. 

I said it was quick and easy!

I will be submitting this card to the following challenges:

Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 162 - where anything goes as long as it includes snippets - the green card and the satin ribbon

Clear it Out Challenge Blog - this week's theme is anything goes as long as something from stash is used - that's everything!

Top Tip Tuesday Challenge - Favourite Colour Combo - mine is always red and green and it's not just for Christmas :)

That's me done for today so I wish you all a very pleasant evening.

Happy Crafting,
