Card Thursday

Don't you love Basic Grey. No, don't answer that, there are few crazies like me. Their 'ambrosia' collection is dusky, dark and mysterious enough for this card i wanted to make for my father.


The colors are masculine enough, and i used beige and chocolate card stock to set off the citrus effect. I also used a paislee painted dark chocolate, American crafts ribbons and another wide organza chocolate colored ribbon. For my piercing, a little heart in beige.
This card meets two challenges, Cute Card Thursday #53 (family affair) and Twisted Thursday #4 (sketch & piercing), .............. wicked! :)

I'm missing my parents more and more, nowadays, even though me and my father, hardly used to talk, i still miss being around him. So coming up is another card, this one for my mother.

Thankyou Paper Therapy for such a nice little mouse, i have used it twice, one kind of a standard size, the other a tiny one. (very cute). I have transformed the flowers with flowers cut out of felt, and fitted with buttons and shell discs. I have used all sorts of hardware brads, paperclips, mini pegs, buttons, shell discs, star clips and long shell pieces, really beautiful. 

The card has turned out really well, i don't know how much you can see in the photograph. My favourite paper too. :)
