I now store my A4 cardstock in clear folders near my workdesk - they used to be stored all in one big basket, which made it difficult to sort through when looking for something specific.
AND my snippets are in an even bigger container now, and I will be making a concerted effort to use them all up!
I also sorted through some stamps, but that is a story for another post, later!
Whilst sorting through my stuff, I came across some beautiful cream
pearl ribbed cardstock, which I thought would be perfect for either a
Wedding Card or a Sympathy Card. Now I know those two occasions are
completely opposite each other, but as chance would have it ... I needed
a sympathy card :( An old school friend lost her husband after a long
illness.
So I set about making this card .... I wanted it to be simple, elegant and a little sophisticated as that would suit my friend Sharlene.

The
sentiment was designed by me and printed on the laser printer, then
foiled in gold and diecut with Stitched Circle dies, and attached to
cardfront with foam tape.
It was almost therapeutic arranging the floral elements in a pleasing manner, then they were attached directly to the cardfront using a combination of glue & foam tape to add dimension, finishing with a
touch of 'bling'.
