Hi Crafters,
I would like the weeks to slow down a bit, I feel as if I'm spinning too many plates at the moment. Do you feel time is moving very fast or is it just me?
We have somehow reached another Saturday which means a new challenge at Allsorts. Our theme this week is
FRIENDSHIP/ATG
Recipe
Background paper - 12x12 paper pad from The Range
Tonic Scalloped Die
Daisy Mae Designs Dotty Embossing Folder
Crafters Companion - 'Friend' Stamp and Die
Highlight Crafts 'Blushed Posy' Reflections.
This card is quite flat for posting which is a bonus nowadays as the postage has gotten quite expensive here. However, my favourite cards to make are dimensional ones with lots of embellishments and details like shaker cards, stepper cards etc. These are fine for delivering by hand but I think I need to try and make more of the flatter style cards as customers are now looking for these when I have my stall at events. So this one should fit the bill :o)
We have prizes this month from
Check back Friday on the challenge blog for the Top 5 picks and then again at the end of the month for the prize winners.
Have a fabulous weekend whatever you are doing.

I remember when I was a child and a week seemed to last forever lol! Now Christmas comes around so fast.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty card with the lovely flowers and CAS centre.
Beautiful flowery card and p.paper.I agree about the weeks flying by and the postage -I put a teeny tiny bow on a card and it cost £4 to post!!! Lesson learnt!

It is a very pretty card and, like you say, great for posting, so expensive here too in Spain, x

It is definitely not just you. I too find time disappearing and I just can't keep up. This card may be flat, but you have managed to add texture. Love that PP and the EF xx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful design Lorraine, a really lovely card. I know what you mean about making dimensional cards. They are my favourite type of card to make, but the postage costs are so much more expensive. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful friendship card Lorraine. I must admit I nearly always make flat cards now … I used to love adding dimension with gems, ribbon, lace, flowers etc. but they are just not feasible now with the ridiculous rises in postage costs we’ve had, except for a small select few people.

A beautiful colorful card ...
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, love it x
ReplyDeleteHow pretty this is Lorraine with those soft colours! I love the way your stamped and diecut flower clusters go so well with the background paper too. No, it isn't just you feeling that the year is galloping away with us - I really wish things would slow down a bit!! Vicky x
