Lift challenge #87

When I saw the current liftchallenge I knew that I wanted to lift this card for a special occassion. Last week Marit gave birth to a little girl. Of course I had to make her a special card. I used some papers from Fancy Pants (see this post). The stamps with the hedgehog and umbrella are from Mama Elephant. I stamped the name with Lawn Fawn Milo's ABC. As you can see I adjusted the card a little. I started with a background and used the sketch of the lift card. However, the little hedgehog is looking to the right. I didn't like that little guy standing on the right side of the card looking somewhere far away. That is why I decided to put the cluster of banners, squares, buttons and stamps to the left side and stamp the name on the right side.

The post did a good job and deliverd the card today, Marit wrote me! Always a bit afraid that a card will get lost somewhere in that huge pile of cards, letters and packages...

Thanks for hopping by!

I'm back...

Finally, I finished my tests yesterday!! It were hard weeks and feel a bit tired. Now I have to wait for the results, but I am quit satisfied with the tests and my answers, so I hope to get a good message! Between the hours of learning I needed some time to relax of course. And so I made a couple of cards. Two of them I'll show today! And as you probably will see: I discovered the seam binding. Good stuff! I always fight with satin ribbon to make a nice bow or knot. Whit this ribbon it doesn't matter. It a bit of  'chaotic' use and the results are great! Ordered a couple of colors and I think you will see more of it the coming weeks!

Both cards are made with materials of Crate Paper, PTI, buttons, sewing machine, seam binding and ribbon!

Thanks for coming by and I wish you a very nice weekend!!
