We went to a family birthday lunch today and yesterday evening I realised that I hadn't made a card! Looking through my ready made cards, I had nothing suitable. So I grabbed a a few things and this quick and easy card is what I came up with.
The recipient used to be a publican, so this Digi Stamp Boutique digi stamp, which I'd already printed, was perfect. I coloured the image with Promarkers and layered it on a beige mat. The sentiment was already printed too and I layered it and raised it up on foam pads. The patterned paper was from a Dovecraft 'True Blue' paper pad. Five Card Candi finished off my card. We had a lovely lunch and as we left our house in the middle of a power cut, we were glad to be eating out.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Glad you enjoyed the birthday lunch Liz and love the image and pretty papers to go with it, and a perfect choice for an ex publican. I hope the power was back on by the time you got back home. x
