the first background card

Good evening everyone

I have a photo for you tonight of the first card I have made using some of that background I showed you.


The base card is a 5x5 cream card. I have to admit I didn't watch too carefully when cutting the top triangle to make sure my 2 straight lines ended up parallel.  There is a slight widening but I am hoping the sentiment helps cover it up a bit, & must try better next time using that layout.  The little dots each side of the sentiment are white flat back pearls which I coloured with a black permanent pen.  I am hoping to find time to make another one tomorrow, but I am out for a little while in the morning & then I have a crochet workshop in the afternoon.  I am hoping to get another 2 cards from this background - which of course depends on what I actually do with what is left.

Well, that's me for tonight - more tomorrow.

Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C
