This was a special commission during lockdown for a lady who was approaching her 90th birthday and wouldn't be able to meet up with her twin sister, so I was asked to make a special card. I used Hunkydory supplies. On the front, I printed out the sentiment and, as it was on card that has a bit of a gloss, there was time to put silver detail powder on it and heat emboss. This was then cut and embossed with a Spellbinder's oval die, using the next one up to mat on to with 3D tape. To the circle of decoupaged flowers I added the crocheted butterflies.
I was asked to put the message inside: Haven't we done well to get here? Once again I heat embossed with detail silver, embossing and cutting the sentiments using the Spellbinders dies.
Showing back on the left with decoupaged flowers and another crocheted butterfly:
I was told that the lady sending the card and the recipient were thrilled with it.
