fishing

good morning,  I showed my daughter the "you rock" card I had made for her boyfriend and she looked at it and told me he is not into music...he is into fishing, so back to the drawing board and I came up with this one.
If she thinks it is too girly, she will be getting it for her bd...  it is a coral color, looks more pink in picture.

                                                     the inside

sew cards?

yup!!! I never thought I would ever sew on a card and here I did 2

My daughter was going to tare the straps off of her back pack,  so I got my sewing machine out and fixed the straps....much better because it just would have been worthless without them,,,, I think she wanted new and that is not going to happen...
as long as the machine was out I figured I might as well try a SEW card..

 I was going to have the inside of the card the same as the out side but that was too much work for one card and made 2 instead.   At least I know I can still sew a straight line and go around corners!
not sure if I will make another, but I can say "I did that!"

started as a anniversary card

Once again, the heat wave kept me from finishing a card and I wanted to see what it would look like with this rose,  I used 2 shades of red and inked the edges with white.. and curled up the edges.
I think there are 6 layers of red and 2 of the green
