It feels like simply ages since I made a card, but with Mum's 83rd birthday coming up on the 5th of August I knew I needed to make a start on things, as I expect I'll be making cards for her from my eldest DS and DIL and my youngest DS too!
As she's been through so much recently I wanted to make this a special card and so decided to use a Harrison Fisher image as they are her favourites. This one is from Joanna Sheen's fabulous Fashion Boutique CD and is just so feminine.
I have used some of the beautiful white tapestry card (from Joanna Sheen) to make this 8x8 card and mounted the image onto some miri card then onto some lace paper (again from Joanna Sheen), apart from the trimmings this could almost be a complete Joanna Sheen one stop shop card. Does anything give you the impression that I love the quality Joanna provides in all her products? The card was finished off with bits and bobs from my stash.
My scanner hasn't done a great job with this card and it has also cut off the corners a bit, but you get the idea.
