Pretty
darn cold here today with temperatures sitting about -9C (15F) but with the
wind it feels like -17C (1F) and it will be even colder on the weekend -14C
(6F) but with the wind -24C (-11F). We're staying put today in our nice warm house. I’m so sick of winter. I want to walk in
the bush; ride the bikes in the park; sit on the front porch to have my coffee
and dig in my garden.
Today’s
card is another one from the stash but it could be made from new material as
well....especially if you wanted a quick card to make.
This
paper was either from the thrift store or in a box of paper that a friend of
mine gifted to me when she decided to quit making cards. The top and bottom
papers were taped together at the back and then trimmed to the correct size for
the card base. The ribbon was in my ribbon stash too and it really looked like
the perfect trim for that card. My card making friend, Jane, lent me her Tim Holtz
greeting dies. I haven’t used them much because I've been quilting and scrapbooking more than card making but I thought a nice blue sentiment on this
card would be a good look….and I was right. I like how it looks….I noticed the
missing dot over the eye as I looked at the photos and added one afterward. I
was shocked at how big these dies are though. They really make a statement. I
have his seasonal greetings and I may get this one as well. Not sure yet….maybe
if I find it on sale.
That’s
all for a cold Thursday,
Cheers
Violet
