A BIRTHDAY CARD FOR MY MOTHER-IN-LAW 2006

I was thinking today! Should I show you a card that I've most recently made or should I go into my back catalogue as I have so many photos of cards that I have made and haven't seen the light of day for years.  So what I thought I would do is spend the next 5 days showing some cards that I've made in the past.

I made this card for my Mother-in-Law's birthday back in June 2006 - so only just after I made the last one I posted a couple of days ago.  Another card pre-Spellbinders, Promarkers, etc!

My MIL keeps all my cards that I've given her over the years.  They really mean a lot to her and I think she loves the fact that someone has spent the time making them for her.

I just want to thank everyone who has taken time to read my posts and leave comments on my blog.  They are very much appreciated and I have been absolutely delighted with the positivity shown towards my work!

I would love to receive your comments!


Supplies Used:

Ivory Pearlescent Card - The Paper Mill Shop 
Vintage Ladies Stamps - Hero Arts 
Inks - Pretty Color
Pearlescent Paper - Craftwork Cards 
Skelton Leaves - Papermania 
Corner Stamps - Not Sure of Brand 
Handmade Paper 
Purple Gemstones - Papermania 
Ribbon - From Stash 
3d Foam Pads 
Gold Rub On Lettering - Not Sure of Brand 

Looking Back, I think this is quite a technical card considering I was still a beginner.  There's lots of different techniques and details.  Personally I think its strong points are the colours used and the tag and the over stamping of the vintage ladies.

You can tell I used to teach for Adult Education, I'm even giving myself constructive feedback!
