Yesterday I had a lovely crafty day with my friends at a crop in Warrington. It has been ages since I’ve crafted with friends and years since it was in person outside of my house! So I packed lots and lots of projects and things to play with. Some of the things I made I will share as and when I get a chance to blog but had to share this one today.
After doing some other projects I had these tiny scraps of patterned paper and part of a flower left but was struggling to throw them away … so Helen challenged me to make a card from them. She also helped choose the background panel from the stash of recently made ones I had packed for the crop.
I added some stamping to the background with an old Craft Stamper magazine stamp and distress oxide and then edged the panel.
I also used a grey pen to edge the pieces of patterned paper. I also found some white die cut leaves in the stash I had taken to finish off the flower.
I then added the sentiment to the cluster. I added a panel of white to back the patterned paper.
When I got home I finished the card adding it to the card blank and then added some gems to finish off.
All in all I made quite a few card panels ready for mounting onto cards and finishing off with gems etc. I also made a few backgrounds and quite a lot of mini notelets … oh and I chatted lots, met new friends, ate yummy brownies and had a thoroughly lovely day!
Today we are celebrating Easter Sunday as we had to write off last week due to illness – so off to my parents for a yummy lunch and some fun! May get a chance to craft later but depends on the energy levels as still not up to 100% yet so will see how I get on!
Good times!
Happy crafting!
