New Home Card

This card measures 11cm x 15cm and is made using a white linen effect,  hand cut blank.
New Home CardHmmmm,  very less is more today.  I have had these laser cut house buttons forever and decided it was about time they were used!

So I took a few scraps of paper,  making a template for the hill, so that when I want to make a few more repeat cards it will make the process quicker.

Ok ……………. so my stitching is a bit wobbly ….. but then,  I would say it was a deliberate move to add a the simple shabby chic charm wouldn’t I???

    Beautiful card - proves you don't always need to 'over egg the pud'!
    And the wobbly stiches finish it off.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
