Youve been SPEC-tacular.....

 Time for my check up with my Opthalmic surgeon today, here's the card I made for him to say thanks...I found these wooden spectacles in Jo-Anns when I went over to the USA in April, I know they would come in useful one day! Funnily enough, he wears glasses just like these himself.....


I was heavily influenced by one of my favourite crafters Jennifer McGuire in making this card, if you haven't discovered her blog yet go HERE you are in for a treat and she has a load of cardmaking videos on YouTube

The glasses were given a good coat of black soot distress ink, then covered with glossy accents. The tag was written and cut on the Cricut Explore - I added some little stitch lines with a Letraset fine liner pen. The background paper is by Crate Paper and the thanks die cut is by Memory Box



and there is a lovely nurse who was there to reassure me through both the surgeries, so this one is for her......


I hope they like them - I had a lot of fun trying to come up with an appropriate design!

On our way down to London now, but the laptop is with me, so it will be business as usual here this week. See you tomorrow x
