Are any of you nervous about insects? I am a bit disturbed about the 17 year cicadas that are supposed to rise in swarms in the coming weeks. :T This means I was only ten during the last invasion of this particular species of cicadas! Ignorance is BLISS sometimes. :D
I made a card for one of our work studys for her last day in the office. When I was a work study, I got some personal time to do my homework on certain days...this is not so for our office unfortunately. They are greatly treasured individuals who we rely on heavily for important responsibilities. For this reason, I will miss her very much.
I rarely use doilies, but I liked the delicate look it gives after seeing what Karon did on her post:
The flourishes were stamped and pearl accents were added on the ends. I tried to keep the sunflowers about the same size. They were also chalked to add a gradient-style shading.
Finally, we had so much to write, I decided to turn it into a pocket for the interior. It's more like a wedding invite if you ask me!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Birthdays with Bling. I then wet embossed "Best Wishes" in silver.
Hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteHello my darling Eileen,
ReplyDeleteLong time no see -I had a bad period being sick! It was this last 8th May I had an operation(getting out my tonsils and...it still hurts) I hope will be all right in the end! I hope you are Ok as well as your family! What's new in your life ?
When I see this elegant wonderful card I might say you have a good period and I wish it is a good guess!
My last work was ment to be a gift for the doctor that operated me as a sgn of gratitude .
So you see,I cannot do so much quilling nowadays....I feel sad about it!
Anyway,I send you my love and best wishes to your family too!
hugs and kisses
