Ladies' Night

Welcome to my latest follower, Marianne of Marianne's Craftroom.

 Two cards today for the two Chairmen at a Ladies' Night dinner/dance last weekend.  The evening clashed with a craft retreat that I wanted to attend and I decided to go to the craft retreat. (It wasn't a difficult decision really 😉 and my makes are in the previous post.)  I wanted to make two similar cards, one feminine and and one masculine, wishing them a lovely evening. The Chairmen are not related, so I just changed the colour.
The embossing folder is one I bought reduced recently in Hobbycraft.  I hadn't seen the e/f before, but it embosses and cuts at the same time.  I used purple pearlised card on the feminine card and blue pearlised card on the masculine card. The text and image is computer generated.  So two cards that were really quick and easy to make.


I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

    An embossing folder that cuts - I've not seen that before. This makes a perfect party-themed idea.

      It's a special evening for all the men to let their wives and girlfriends know how much they are appreciated. My hubby let me know how much I'm appreciated by telling me to go to the craft retreat instead! ;-) xx
