New Supervisor

Where I work for my day job, we have been going through a big restructure and I was fortunate enough to get a new supervisor.  I have known the wonderful lady for a number of years but was never fortunate enough to have her as my supervisor before.

Hence the beautiful card below - 

I made the card especially in the colours she loves (mind you they are my favourte colours as well).

I used a mixture of papers for this card, some of them I do not know where they even come from. However for future blogs I will try and endavour to let you know what materials I use.

I first made the tags making sure that they fitted in the frame and didn't look to full. Then I enjoyed cutting Christmas dies, picking all the different papers I used along with the embellishments   I tried to keep to the white and golds but just had to add the red nose to the reindeer. 

Hope you all enjoy this lovely piece.

 Hi to my followers - this blog is showing off three cards I made both the same but just using different colours.  I saw a card on Pinterest  with butterflies down one side - the card was by Late Night Stamping Blogspot and was great inspiration for me.

The base cards I use are the American Crafts - Cards and Envelopes Size A7.  

These cards are made using a plain white card stock as the background and have been backed in the paper which highlights the butterflies.  The butterflies are dye cut rom I used double sided paper which enabled me the opportunity to
