No time for crafting this week. I spent Sunday morning at the Minor Injuries Unit and came home with a week's supply of antibiotics and plenty of pain killers. I've been sleeping a lot and my crafting mojo has flown out of the window. I'm so behind with my blog visiting too, but hope to get back on track soon.
I'm sharing a card I made a month or two ago and didn't get round to adding to my blog. It's a Good Luck card for a friend who recently became Chairman of a club I belong to, to wish her good luck for the coming year.
The card fold was made with Made To Surprise 'Side Panel Showstopper' dies. The patterned paper is from The Works. I embossed the plain green card, I'm not sure of the brand of the folder but I think it's probably a Creative Expressions one. The four leaf clover was stitched with crochet cotton on a postage stamp shaped square.
The card folds flat for posting.
I am joining in the following challenges:
