I made the above card for a challenge at Split Coast Stampers!
The challenge for the Twisted Sister... was to make a Get Well Card.
My card was stamped with a stamp from Heartfelt Creations, and colored with copics, by my husband. I die cut a Spellbinder die for the bottom. A2 Fancy Ribbon Threader!
The rubber stamp is HCPC 3306 Posy Patch Garden Delights.
My Sentiment was stamped with a stamp from Stampin' Up "take Care!
Added a gingham ribbon and dimensionals!
I would like to welcome two new followers to my blog,
Ursula and Lesley
So nice to see you here and I have enjoyed visiting your blogs..
In the photo below you will see my photography studio. Isn't it fancy?
Yes, it's my dining room table, with two Ott lights over head...
Jim I were able to purchase the lights at half price, (yes they are expensive)
but they were worth every penny to us. They have come in so handy, for our crafting.
I have them on every Thursday night when my friends come to craft.
I'm a very poor photographer, and whenever I try to take photos of my cards and projects outside, the pictures look terrible. I have shadows, glare from the sun, or my shadow in the picture.
I find it easier to just take my pictures inside at my dining room table. That way,
I also don't have to worry if the sun is out or not.
Lesley asked me in her comments yesterday, "Is there a story behind the crochet you place your projects on"?
I hadn't really thought about it before, but there is...first of all, it's something I bought for my Mother along with a matching table runner. I bought it for her on vacation a long time ago, and she seemed to really like it, and used it for many years. It always reminds me of her.
Also, It is supposed to be hand crocheted. I can't imagine doing all those tiny stitches, especially with a table runner. Something like that would have taken me forever. I have crocheted with thread, but it was much smaller projects, such Christmas ornaments, etc. My favorite crocheting was toddler and baby dresses, such as the one below...but it is not done with thread...a slightly thicker cotton thread.
I think I did do one dress in thread, and then thought, "NO MORE WITH THREAD!" So I really do appreciate the time it took to make the doily and table runner. Plus the doily keeps the cards from
slipping like they do when I just put them on the table,
