I've just finished another card. I'm quite pleased of how this one turned out. Going to be hard to mail this one out.
This week's challenge at Cute Card Thursday: "Challenge 60 -- Letters and Numbers. Please include letters or numbers on your creations this week!" Perfect! I have to create a 5oth birthday card and wanted to have a huge number 50 on it.
Here's the card.
The number zero is simply cut out using my Coluzzle oval template. The number five takes a bit more work. No template, oh boy--I had to draw this one out by hand first and then cut it out with a craft knife.This is the first time I've included stiching on my cards. Hey, I like doing this. I'll have to do more stiching, but I think I have to adjust the tension on my sewing machine first. You probably can't tell here but I can see those bottom threads peeking up, hee hee. I've added a couple of those punched-out swirls and attached some pearls and blings. And voila!
And the inside of the card .....
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! We've got an extra day tomorrow-- stats holiday. Yipee!!!

WOW, what a fantastic card Norma. My friend,
ReplyDeleteDebbie Pamment, told me about this card when she showed me the 40th Birthday card she just made for a friend of hers. I now see what she means - your work is incredible.
I have just checked out your blog and your Magnolia cards are wonderful - such great inspiration there. Will be following your site from now on. Love it!
absolutely gorgeous Norma - the inside of the card is wonderful too - especially little tilda framed in the oval. The card looks very much like a quilt. The number 5 is great! looks like you used a template :) I got your site from the link that Debbie Pamment used on her blog......
