Speedy Recovery

Morning my crafting friends hope this Monday morning finds you all safe and well? Lots of hugs to those who may not be well.

Today's post is in fact a card I made for my MIL as she had a operation on Friday so she will be in hospital for a few days, so hopefully she will soon be on the mend.


I started with my basic 6" X 6"White card and matted this up with more White card that I had pierced around the edge.

I searched through my stash to find a piece of pretty paper when I came across this one, its one of my favourites and that is why it has not been used before lol! Don't we all keep things we don't want to use? Silly really as I am sure this came off one of my CD Roms though which one I haven't a clue!!! I cut it to size and covered it with an adhesive sheet then coated it with Micro beads, I have not used these for what seems like ages, I remember Sue Wilson's early shows she always used them before she bought out the Diamond Snow etc.! I liked the texture and coverage this gave to the paper, I then attached this to the front of my card.

For my topper I die cut one of the dies from Captivating Squares four times and matted and layered them up turning each one round until it almost made a circle, I loved the look of this. Using the smaller of the dies I die cut my sentiment out of Blush card and arranged it in the center, I thought the Blush card would pick up some of the Pink flowers from the paper. I then added some White PVA glue dots around the fancy corners of the die cuts, letting it dry before attaching it to the front of my card.

I did not feel the front needed anything else so on the inside I placed a piece of Pink Pearlescent card on the right hand side with my printed verse on top, on the left hand side I attached the off cut from the piece of paper that had not been micro beaded. 
The last photo shows the card at an angle to try and pick up the light on the micro beads

  2. A lovely card for your mother in law. Hope she is well soon. We all do it don't we? Buy something because we love it - then love it too much to use it!! I tend to think - I won't use it for this project because I might need it for something more special!!!! So silly. Have a good day. Christine xx
