Five on Friday - Beautiful Friendship


So way back then... was when I first got Beautiful Friendship out... with a Team Colour Challenge happening at the time... but gosh how things took over from that day!

So now high time I finally shared the finished cards... both here and back on the Team Challenge page! 

There were actually 6 cards created from this wreath.. but one went away in the post before I got a chance (aka remembered!) to photo... so only 5 finished cards to see in this post... but a "Where's Wally shot" below if you want to spot the 6th before it was finished!! Centre one if you are not sure....

And here are the insides as they needed a quick decoration so that I could write on them to send out with my customer thank you gifts at the time... although I am sure that I will have still failed to write on them... and added a written Sticky Note as I do....


Click here to see the details on what was used to create the stamped wreath one sheet wonder... and here to see more on the cutting up of the sheet...

Thursday Thanks featuring... Beautiful Friendship


Yes another Beautiful Friendship  and Ornate Thanks card for you.... as I had to try a completely different colour scheme for a yellow loving friend...

Which reminds me of my first colour range when I became a papercrafter nearly 20 years ago!! Which was yellows, greens and cream... bet no-one guessed that one!! 

It is funny how colours affect us... yellow used to my favourite colour... but I wouldn't have thanked you for a yellow car! 

And I didn't even wear a lot of yellow... though I did have an amazing dress nicknamed the "Gin and Tonic dress"... which yes you guessed it ... had a very large lemon on the front... though I didn't realise that the pips were rather large holes... as I wondered why all the blokes were staring!! Gosh that takes me back about 35 years!!

But I digress... back to today's card... Balmy Blue hydrangeas, Bumblebee roses, Mossy Meadow sprays and Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz leaves... rest of details as per this card shared earlier in the week... 

And favourite colour ranges today... mmm.. Black or Navy with white or cream... with a pop of a bright (or neutral!) colour...Though I don't get to use much black and white in my cardmaking anymore... not many of my class ladies that like it!

Oh and Pretty Peacock of course! Stand out favourite for now! With a splash of many a blue or green to wash it all down... This is probably the range you would best guess at!
