Here are two of the first cards made for Kanban, for this first one I used their red striped paper and the flowers are rolled roses, which I sprayed with water first to make them pliable, before distressing and curling the edges. The scroll is a Sissix die, and the sentiment and pearls are also from Kanban
For this next one I used one of Kanbans aperture cards and butterfly background stamps. I stamped the background in embossing ink and clear embossed it, then I swiped the panel with various colour distress inks, before wiping with a tissue. The butterfly on the front of the card was also coloured with distress inks. Punched flowers and a Sissix leaf spray finished it off......
Thanks again for all the good wishes. Mike is doing well.
I have made a discovery. Going shopping with freshly washed hair and nice clothes means that you will never meet anyone you know. However, if you go shopping with hedgehog hair and old jeans, allow extra time, because you will bump into everyone you know, including that girl from long-ago schooldays, who was always the prettiest/best dressed and irritatingly hasn't changed much.........
See you tomorrow
I love the butterfly card........The other is pretty also you know I just love butterflies...........Hope things are looking up for you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly card is simply gorgeous, Enfys. You're just now discovering the "law" about leaving the house? Happens to me all the time. I'm in the middle of a house project, wearing ripped jeans and covered in paint, need to run out to the hardware store for something and I run into everyone in town I know!!! I go out looking perfect (doesn't happen often, I admit) and I don't see a soul I know! Glad to read that things are looking up,

Hi Enfys, love your cards especially the butterfly, you did a great job coloring it. I'm glad to hear that Mike is doing better. Have a great day.

Wonderful cards. Can anyone buy from Kanban or do you have to be a seller? So glad Mike is doing well.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about your discovery. The same thing happens to me. It also happens at my house. No one comes to visit when it is clean and neat only when I have ignored it for a month then they all drop by one at a time.
Enfy's you just blow me away with your beautiful cards. Each time I see one I think "this is the best ever" and then you make another one and I think "this is truly the best ever"...and then you make another one...
ReplyDeleteI hope that Mike is on the mend...May God bless you both...Smoochie
Love the cards Enfys! Murphys Law wins every time!

ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly card Enfys. Such a pretty card. The red one is pretty also. Glad to hear your Hubby is doing well.
ReplyDeleteI have done that many times. If you run into the store hoping not to run into anyone, you surly will every
time.
