Hugs

Whoops! Didn't realise it had been so long since my last post. Life has got in the way of crafting recently. My 8 year old bunny Bramble had to have her teeth done under a general anaesthetic as they were starting to grow into her tounge. She refused to eat after the surgery so we had to syringe feed her until she decided to eat again. I also had some more radio frequency nerve lesioning done in the hope that it will help reduce the chronic pain I have in my neck affecting my shoulders, arms and upper back.
Anyway, enough whittering and onto the card. I wanted a quick card to send to a friends who is having a rough time at the moment. The image is lili of the valley and I had stamped, die cut it and coloured it with copics ready to craft with some time ago. I used a decorative label die to frame the image and the same yellow to build up the layers of the card and die cut the hugs sentiment and layered it up 3 times to make it pop. I used a soft green card for the background to complement the yellow which I chose to highlight the sunflower. The ribbon was left over from the ribbons I bought to make my wedding bouquet with. I put a length of ribbon round the front of the card and stuck it down with some red liner tape inside the card. A simple white paper insert covered this up. The ribbon is wired and so I could pinch it in slightly where I attached the bow (made with a bow maker) with glue gel. I tried to keep the card reasonably flat so it would post easily, I hope it cheered my friend up a little.
