I felt that such a special occasion merited something a bit special, so I got out my gilding flakes and glitter and this is what I came up with (I made more than she asked for, so that she had a choice, but she actually tucked all of them into her handbag and took them home.)
Cross Stitch, knitting, crochet, dressmaking, card making, scrapbook and wedding stationery.
Welcome
Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.
I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!
Thank you for visiting my blog.

You are truly blessed with an amazing talent!! Your creations are far more than mere cards, but are true works of art! The passion you have for your craft can be seen in all the meticulous details and the touches of love you put into each item you create. I can see why your friend took them all, as each one is a masterpiece...I envision them being framed and displayed for all to admire.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to thank you for explaining the inspiration behind "Earthdancer". It was wonderful knowing why Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum created such a sublime pattern. I loved your creation the first time I saw it, but now I have an even deeper appreciation for this lovely image. Thank you for not only creating and sharing your beautiful works of heart, but for also sharing your knowledge. I found the information very enlightening and extremely touching:)
Have a blissful weekend!
Hugs,
Carolyn
To save your printer printing out two copies... when I did cards like this I just cut the heart out of the image and then stuck the adhesive sheets behind and gilded it... Great cards xxx
