I don't know about all of you, but I'm ready for some WARM weather! Maybe that is the reason when I saw Laura's sketch, all I could see was a surf board. I saw someone else make that same comment. I grew up in southern Calif. only seven blocks from the beach and I'm longing for that beach weather again. At least I can look at this card and think warm thoughts. haha!! Hopefully all of you are staying warm and getting a bit of sunshine today. At any rate, I can always keep some sunshine in my heart, right?! Some of you asked on my last post how I made the sweater flower. It is the easiest thing ever. You just cut off about 3/4 to one inch of the bottom of the sleeve and then make a basting stitch around one of the edges and pull your threads tight to gather. Make a few stitches in the back to hold it together. Then add a brad or a button or another flower or whatever to the center. You can make a TON of these flowers from one sweater. Just keep going up the sleeve and cutting off more one inch pieces. So easy!
Beautiful card Cheryl and yes I'm also longing for some warm weather.

ReplyDeleteWow! I so love this card! It is awesome! Wish I had all this imagination.
ReplyDeleteCheryl this card is so cool! I love how you used a surf board for the ovel in the sketch. It's perfect! I like the curled edge-reminds me of the oceans waves when they crest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! Now you are making me beach hungry! You asked if I know the Crain family. I don't! Darn. I will have to ask my kids if they know any of their kids.
ReplyDeleteThis card definitely makes me excited for summer!! Let's go to CA to the beach this summer, I think Tyler and Nate would LOVE it! That is if Grandpa could handle that many crazies in his house at once!
ReplyDeleteThis is the BEST summery card! As I'm sitting here a lot of snow is falling so this card makes me very happy! I LOVE the surfboard, awesome card!! Thank you for joining us at 2S4Y this week! Hugs!
