For My Sweet Friend....Just because

Another card with a pre colored image. This darling is called #384 Jam Tilda. She is available at Maglonia-licious shop along with the other images in the "Yummy For Your Tummy" Collection.

We all have situations in our lives which require a special card to be made. I made this one for a friend who is going through several up and downs in her life. Since I know she received the card today, I know I can post it here and not give it away.

I did the stitching using a pattern I thought would be super with a Tilda poised on the leaf! She rather obliterates the leaf, but you can still see a bit of it.

Here is my card...



The dp is called October Afternoon by Cosmo Cricket and it was a gift from this very friend. I didn't want to put too much on the front of the card and distract from my Tilda and stitching, so I merely distress a paper doily and then usd my Just Rite stamper for the sentiment. The circle and Scalloped circle are made with my Nestabilitie dies. All matting is Cameo Coral. I added little pearls to each of the scallops that show.

Here is a closer look at Tilda...


For the inside I once again used my Just Rite Stamper and made the same circular label as on the front. I added small self adhesive pearls completely around the scalloped circle! Kept this really simple not using flowers or any other embellies.



For the notation portion I flipped the October Afternoon dp over to expose the green, mounted it on Cameo Coral, distress another doily and repeated the circle/scalloped circle with pearls theme. I can't for the life of me remember what Copics I used to color my image...it was done while I was layed up in bed for 10 days.


So, thank you for coming by to see my latest creation...and best wishes for a brighter days ahead to my sweet friend!


Hugs,
Barb

  21. So precious, Barb. Love the colours you use and your colouring is alway top notch. Your embroidery on paper is always a WOW factor. I managed to visit one craft store while I was on vacation and they had all these templates with pin-prick holes for embroidery pattern. They made me think of you.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope all goes well with your hubby's next surgery.

    Many hugs.
