Not so hard to make a card

Hello all, and welcome... though I'm about to send you away again immediately!  I'm so happy you enjoyed the Brave and True Butterflies, and today I'm over at A Vintage Journey with a Creative Card Making post.  Regulars will know I almost never make cards.  For some reason I find them very difficult.


But for this one I've adapted techniques from the tag I was inspired to make by Jennie at Live the Dream.  Borrowing all that inspiration meant that making the card wasn't all that hard after all.  I hope you'll be able to hop over to A Vintage Journey to see my Creative Card Making there.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting all!

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

  3. I never make cards, but if I could make one like yours, I would make them all the time. I love the texture, the crackle paste, the butterfly tape, and the lace. This is an exceptional card, dear Alison.

  18. What a lovely card! That it is flat enough to mail is a bonus. The lace both paper and fabric really caught my eye.
