Cards

before I began scrapping I liked to make cards, nothing to flash but I enjoyed fiddling with papers, stamping and colouring the images etc. These days I don't usually find time to make many cards, usually just for family and friends on occassions then a friend suggested to start making them from the scraps that get left from doing a LO, great idea and one I plan to start doing, well when I eventually get organised lol. Then I will have a stash of cards to choose from when a birthday or special event comes along! Below are two cards I made recently, somewhat plain, they were quick and easy but just a little different. Hope you like them :)

First is a trifold angle card embellished with Prima flower and stick pins and a delicate butterfly!

Close up of the cover.

Second card is very basic. I machine stitched the layers together, placed a few hand stitches using DMC floss and then added ribbon and a bow with a small metal flower and pearl.



Thanks for taking the time to drop by, hope you have managed to get lots of scrapping done over the last few days, my aim is to finish off some projects over the next day or two!
