My computer crashed over three weeks ago and I finally got it back today. Fortunately the repairers were able to save everything on my computer before fitting a new hard drive. Note to self.... regularly back up my computer as I could have lost everything, including all the photos of my cards!
Today's card is a birthday card for a friend who celebrated her birthday earlier this month. As she keeps chickens, I decided to make a little cross-stitched chicken picture for the front of the card.
The background was embossed with a Crafts-Too 'Feathers' embossing folder. I added a strip of ribbon with little chicks on across the middle. The matted cross-stitched image is raised up on foam pads.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A fun card,love the cross stitch chicken
ReplyDeleteSorry you have had problems with your computer Liz, and pleased for you that nothing was lost, that would have been awful for you. I love your cute cross stitched chicken, and such a pretty mix of colours, and the complementary feathers embossing and ribbon with little chicks on it go brilliantly. x
ReplyDeleteNightmare Liz, at least they save everything which isn't always possible, Lovely fresh Spring colours on today's share.

The embossing and ribbon are just right to showcase this lovely cross stitch chick
ReplyDeleteGlad they were able to save everything for you Liz. It's reminded me that I need to back up my stuff onto an external hard drive. I love your gorgeous card and I'm sure that your friend will love it too.
