Inspiration comes from the Strangest of Places - Get Well Soon

Something a little different today. This card isn't a Christmas card and I haven't used my Envelope Punch Board. I know, it's a shock lol

This is actually one of the cards my ladies having been making at class this month. We decided that we would make three cards that you don't always use (thankfully). One is a Sympathy, one is for a Wedding and the other is the card I'm sharing today which is a Get Well card.

These cards are the ones that might sit in your card box for ages, but when you need it, you need it straight away.

Gorgeous isn't it. I just LOVE these colours together. The actual card design is a case from a card that I've had booked mark for quite a while now. It's by the very lovely Sandy Mathis and you can see her gorgeous card right HERE!!. Sandy actually used different stamps and different colours, but the design and theme are the same. Why change such a gorgeous original I say!!

But the inspiration for the colour combo comes from a completely different place. In fact, it came from the most boring chore in the world. Bringing in the washing. Yep, i was taking a pair of Miss N's undies off the line and they where these exact same colours. I thought, wow, what a great combination, I wonder if I could turn it into a card... Honestly it's amazing where the the inspiration finds us sometimes.

Have fun,
Chlo

September Thank you Cards

I was just making my Customer Thank you cards October when I realised you hadn't seen my September ones.

 I saw this gorgeous card while spending hours on Pinterest... come on, we all know that we could waste an entire day on that wondrous site lol, and knew I had to case straight away. The original is from the super talented LeAnne Greff from Flowerbug's Inkspot. LeAnne made her's using the new Butterfly Punch, but alas, that is still on my wishlist (along with a lot of other stuff!!) So I used the Beautiful Butterflies Embosslit.

These are two of the different colours I made, but I also did some in Poppy Parade and Blushing Bride... using spare cardstock up :-)

  

It's such a a beautiful, crisp design and takes next to no time to make, but is just striking to look at. In fact I've noticed the design being CASED by a lot of card markers, so it must be pretty special!!

Ok, off to finish my October cards. I'll hopefully get them up for you this week :-)

Have Fun,
Chlo
