Month: February 2019

The challenge this month is to make a card for a special lady. Well the most special ladies in my life are my Mum and my Daughter. As Mothering Sunday here in the UK is in March I decided to make a Mother’s Day card for my Mum. She is 84 years young, doing great and I am very grateful to still have her! Like all children I probably take her for granted and don’t always remember to appreciate her out loud. So thanks Mum for all you do and have done for me.

I will also be making a very similar card for my Daughter as she is also an amazing Mum and I am very proud of her and for no other reason than she loves a cuppa!

I hope you like my project.  I have used two of my free items from this year’s Sale-a-Bration, the beautiful Lovely Lipstick Foil sheets and the Tea Time Framelits Dies.

If you pop back tomorrow I will post a process video.

And here it is:

I’m excited to see what all the other ladies have done. If you hit the next button below you will be transported to my lovely friend Helzie’s project and I know she will have something fabulous for us. I hope you are inspired by our hop and leave us some encouraging comments as you go.

I recently enjoyed a trip to the V & A in Dundee and was fascinated by the Tynecastle Tapestry – it isn’t actually tapestry. I was inspired to do this piece with the new sale-a-bration folder. i have used silver, copper and gold embossing powders.

Watch this video to see the process.
