I used:
- 4.75" x 4.75" square pale ivory linen card blank, side opening
- the plain reverse of a whole sheet of paper from a K & Company pad of 'photo matting' papers (the papers are 4.75" x 6.75" for quick photo mounting) - probably the very first paper pad I ever bought many, many years ago - trimmed to 4.5" square
- a whole sheet of patterned paper from the same paper pad, die cut to just over 4" square, using a die from a set of dies by The Works (now discontinued)
- I then glued the plain 'frame' and the patterned paper square onto the card front
- the reverse plain side of the paper left from die cutting the front toned well with the patterned paper so I die cut the sentiment words using a die called 'for you' by Alex Syberia and then used the 'shadow part of the die to cut the background for the words from snippets of vellum
- glued the parts together then glued the assembled sentiment panel onto the card front - finished!
I made three cards in the same design using different papers - and that was the end of the paper pad, after all this time!
I'd like to enter this card into Darnell's NBUS Challenge#66 - the Alex Syberia 'for you' sentiment die was having a first outing
Dudley Pupdate: Thursday was a fun day for Dudley as it was my Birthday and he absolutely loves to be involved in the opening of cards and presents. Each card was closely inspected then given his 'nose dab' of approval!
Earlier in the week he was certainly NOT so overjoyed as it was time for a grooming session and the application of 'nasties' repellent down his back. He ran and hid but Len hunted him out and the little monkey was insistent on bringing Honka Duck to the grooming table! No way was he letting go of his best pal:
It was nigh on impossible not to practically cry with laughter - he really is such a little pickle!
Love from myself and Dudley, xxx
Not just cake, but chocklit and some bubbly to celebrate with too! Glad you had a lovely birthday.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty card Di. Congrats on getting 3 of them made.
Great photo of Len, Dudley & Honka Duck. I understand Honka was no help to Dudley when trying to wriggle out of the grooming session! Xxx
I love the little cards you send out, and this is no exception. Awwwww I did feel sorry for Dudley, clutching his bestie, if only he knew it’s worse for you! 😂xxx
ReplyDeleteNice idea Saran and sweet card, I do little tags to go in with prizes and they are always well received.
ReplyDeletePoppy sends love to Dudley, she is scheduled for her 'trim trim' today, mention those words and she heads to the farthest boundary if the paddock gate happens to be open, if not it's under a shrub where invariably the yapping starts on discovery of an unsuspecting hedgehog.

Happy belated Birthday wishes.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a lovely day ❤️.
I love to read about Dudley.
Great card(s) and well done for using papers from so long ago - we all hoard them don't we. Lovely picture of Dudley with two of his besties - hope Honka managed to avoid being groomed and 'treated' 🤣. See you later for cake and bubbly
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely birthday Di and you had lots of help from Dudley lol your card is so lovely gorgeous pink and lovely sentiment nicely put together x
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the remaining pieces of the K & Co pad and I love the pink with the pink and green sentiment paper, and finished with this lovely sentiment with the vellum for the background shadow..perfect. A beautiful card. Such a lovely photo of Dudley holding onto Honka Duck very firmly...perhaps he hoped that having Honka along would stop the grooming taking place..lol. x
ReplyDeleteTHose are some fun cards you've made to send out and I'm sorry I missed your birthday this year. Hope it was a happy one with all the trimmings and fun you'd expect to have. That's a fun photo of Len and Mr. D with his ducky too :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Di and a great photo too!

What a great use of your snippets and finishing of the paper Di - a gorgeous card
ReplyDeletePoor Dudley - fancy being groomed... No wonder he needed the moral support of Honka Duck. What a great photo of him, though. Oh and Len also.
Blessings
