I'd like to thank every one of you for the lovely comments left on my Poppy brooch post. I truly appreciate each and every one one of them.
So on to my card for to-day. Of course it had to be Annie's birthday card. I so enjoyed creating this card and although it varies slightly from the one I saw on You Tube, I sized it to suit myself. Its called a Magic card and it can be decorated on 4 sides, although I only did 3. I used basic ivory hammered card to cut out all my pieces and the papers were of course French Country. by Graphic 45. The stamp I used on the front was a Paris stamp by Tim Holtz, I tried to use co-ordinating colours to enhance the beautiful papers. I mounted the sentiment on a piece of hessian and added some embellishments from my stash. The front of the card folds over the back and reveals more of the FC images . To say Annie lovcd it was understatement and it gave me great pleasure to make it.
Hope your all getting some Crafty time when the weather's so bad, and maybe when we get some sunshine we can all relax and enjoy it. Hugs Rita xxx
