Wow it has been awhile since I have been here!!! Flu season has been the worst that I can remember in a long time. I always get my flu shot every year and usually if I get the flu, it's mild and I get over it quickly. But not this year!!!! I was hit by the bug just after the New Year's. But it didn't seem to last long. But just when I thought I was better, it came back worse than ever. And I have been dealing with it since then. It just seems to linger on forever. This past weekend I slept for 4 days straight!!!! So I'm hoping that is the end of it LOL
I thought maybe a little crafting might get me back on track. And this challenge was perfect. It has been such a long time since I had made any cards, and so that was what I decided to create.
Both cards are actually pretty simple and fast to create.
For my HAPPY BIRTHDAY card I cut out some letters on my Silhouette
using black cardstock, and backed them with some black & white patterned paper.
I stamped the little flowers and BIRTHDAY.
And then I drew a little border with a black marker.
On my second card I cheated just a little, and
added a small amount of water colour, using the packaging technique,
on a white background. Then I stamped the cute little fox and leaves, and
"sending lots of love", with black STAZON ink.
Both cards took very little time to create, and I think they turned out pretty
darn cute. Quick and easy........perfect I think for when you need
a card in a hurry!!!
Thanks for stopping in,
and remember

you are restoring your own soul."
