This is a card and a necklace I have made for my friend, who is also my next door neighbor. Hazel was 20 years of age on Coronation day. We have been friends since we moved in next door to each other, on the same day 38 years ago. The is a very simple one but I hope it's effective. The roses I made from pearlized paper. The main paper is one I have had for a long time, and thought it was to nice to cut up. You all know what I mean, we all have paper like that lol The insert I did on CAP. The Necklace is Coral shell, red Jasper rounds and pearls.
Ooo she will love these Joan. Very pretty and most attractive. The insert is also lovely... I think we card makers can sometimes let ourselves down when we spend so much time on the front of a card and don't bother with the inside! It makes a big difference.
ReplyDeleteAll...'Fabulous Dahling'lol x
Both are lovely, what a lucky girl. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Joan inside and out. I also love the necklace you have made. I am sure your friend will love and appreciate the fact you have made this all so personal for her. xx
ReplyDeleteShe is also a card maker. So I hope she doesn't find to many faults. I will have to bang the wall so that the lid of her piano falls down otherwise. I never ever make a card without an insert. I do feel it finishes it off. This card is an 8x8 so a bit more awkward to do the insert as I would have liked.
ReplyDeleteWell, you did ask for bad comments ... 0nly joking, it's a lovely card & gift. I love those pearlised flowers and the way the necklace matches. It's great to see a concept come together! Jx
ReplyDeletevery pretty joan, I do like the necklace :) I especially love your inserts on your cards.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Joan, and I know what you mean about the paper, I have some of the same......from C&C I believe!...The necklace is beautiful, your neighbour will love it x

ReplyDeleteLovely card Jaydee, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell, JayDee, First of all I can relate to you about paper and I think I love yours even in the picture so must be more so in real life!! However, you have used it for a dear friend and made a simply stunning card. I love to make card inserts when I can and yours is just lovely. What a great story about moving in on the same day and still being neighbours today just lovely to have a connection with someone like that. The necklace is beautiful she is going to love wearing it and admiring your card; each will make her feel special. A big year for her from coronation to Diamond Jubilee. Thank you for sharing. Vee xx
