I love to experiment! New techniques, new colors I love to try it all. When we went to PEI the cottage we rented was lovely and perfect. In the rush to leave home I neglected to grab a Thank You card to leave behind, and could not make myself buy one when I knew I could make a nice one at home. The two things that everyone knows about PEI is the gorgeous red dirt and the lovely Lupins blooming all over the place. We missed Lupin season but you couldn't miss them on eveything from towels to jams. Of course, we brought home a giant bag of PEI dirt and I thought a card that included these two elements would be perfect.
This is a shaker card and the red dirt is from our stash. You can't see it but there is even a little shell too. This came together so quickly and easily. I have to work on cutting out the centre of the square, but I didn't want to use a punch as that would be too small.
I also got to use my new brayer, and that can either be water or a night sky, you decide! It's sparkly!
This is the inside. I used one of the Pocket Silhouette flowers with Rich Razzleberry and Orchid Opulence markers to make the Lupins and I LOVE them! I will definitely make this type of card again! I really hope the person I send it too likes it as well.Recipe :
