Friendship


Hi There

My card today was made for someone I haven’t known for very long and chances are we will probably never meet face to face but she has become a very dear friend. Although she has had her onion to peel of late she has stuck by me and encouraged me thru the layers of my onion lately. I wanted to make her a special card to thank her for all she has done for me even though she probably doesn‘t realize how important it has been to me. I haven’t mentioned her name as she follows my blog and I don’t want to spoil the surprise if she hasn‘t received the card yet.



To crate my little music book I printed the sentiment. The C# Minor stamp was inked then blotted with a baby wipe before stamping over the sentiment to give it a more vintage look then. It was then cut with SB Labels Seven and three more blanks the same size. All the edges were distressed with Tea Dye DI. The centers were scored then stacked and glued at the score lines. Foam tape between the pages hold the curve in them. A gold cord was added as a book mark. SB Floral Flourishes and Foliage, MS border punch and ribbon were used on the base card and a silk flower bouquet added to finish.




This small card carries with it my love and appreciation.

Blessings

Bernie

  5. That's so stunning, Bernie! It's the kind of card that needs to be framed as a work of art! I'm sorry your friend is having onions to peel right now. Whatever they are, you can be sure that you will brighten her day when she gets your beautiful card. You are a true and thoughtful friend!

  14. Just popping back to say I saw your beautiful card posted over at Mary's! She's a worth recipient! Also, I heard there are more lightening fires up there and I wanted to check in to make sure you guys are okay. Let us know; I've got my everything crossed!

    1. Sweet of you to ask Darnell. Was afraid my blog was getting to be all about Jim's health. Seems they no sooner get one fire out and another pops up. Most are started by dry lightening strikes, a few by arsons. GRRRR!!! Can't wait for the first snow fall. The air is pretty bad, Jim is having some trouble but actually doing better then I'd hoped. Of course he hasn't been out of the house or even allowed near a door for weeks and I have four air purifiers going 24/7.
      Hugs

  15. Hi there Bernie have just popped over from Mary's blog and she showed your incredibly made card - how clever is that!! and also have joined your blog - hope you might pop over to mine some time. I will be back for more looks as like what I see and I pray those fires behave or folk who light them are caught and dealt with, and that your hubby's health improves, Gods richest blessing, Shaz in Oz.x
