A New Home

Some friends are moving into a new home, so I just had to make a card!
 
David is a friend I met through my camera club way back in 2011 and his wife Carol is a quilter!
 
Suffice to say, I knew what type of card I was going to make.
 
 
I found a great tutorial online to follow, and the card came together very quickly.
 
The longest and hardest part was choosing the DSP - which was from my stash of 6" DSP I have had for quite some time.
 
I made the cardfront using 210 gsm, and cut up several strips of DSP, and following the tutorial, placed the strips accordingly.
 
Picking which embossing folder to use for the 'quilt block' was fairly easy, the one I chose has some 'double wedding ring quilt' inspiration ...
 

I ink blended the edges of the cardfront to add further dimension & interest, then added a strip of DSP.  The 'quilt block' was added to cardfront with foam tape.
 
The sentiment was printed on computer, and foiled with my Mini Minc in gold foil, then mounted to the front of the card using foam tape.
 
To finish, the cardfront was added to a 300gsm A6 cardbase.

Cake and coffee with friends

I was lucky enough to spend some time with some crafty friends - Mandy from CraftMad (papercrafts) and Cynthia from Cynthia's Ark (quilting) on Friday, 12th December

the best of both worlds I think, mixing my two hobbies with two great friends :)
