I've had a pretty good day today. It started off with me applying for jobs on the tinterweb and I've managed to get 2 interviews for Wednesday afternoon. One is for a job that I would really like so I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one. he doctor is really pleased with my BP and I don't have to see him now for 2 months and I've managed to keep up with the 365 Cards challenges this week, that's much better than of late. After all the rotten luck we have had lately it would be nice to see the tide turning for a bit.
- So this little beauty was made primarily for today's challenge at 365 Cards and incorportate the following challenges :-
- 365 Cards Day 135 - Create a window on your card using see through material
- Get Creative with Ann #49 - Spread your wings & fly
- The Pink Elephant#23 - Red, Light Blue and a darker blue
- Cupcake Craft Challenges #48 - Blossoms & butterflies
- Paper Blooms - make a shaped card
- ABC Challenge - W is for Window
The base card was cut using a free flower template that I got off the Inspire Me website. I cut a window from it to fit the size of the message die cut (can't remember where that came from but thik it may have been a QVC kit) I used my Nestabilities to cut a frame, an acetate window and another frame to sandwich it inside. The card base has been covered with a spotty paper from Clare Curds 'The Big One' from Papermania.
I added a tiny gem to the inside of the card as the flower centre on the die cut. The butterflies are textured cardstock stickers by Papermania. There was a lot of handcutting on this card but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Sorry for the shadows on the photo, I had to take it very late tonight and need to go beddy bies now.
