My heart goes boom boom

This was my first attempt at a ‘Get well soon’ and ‘We’re thinking of you’ card after a heart attack of a family member. However, after I showed it to my husband he gave it an uninterested look and said ‘That’s it?’
😆
As harsh as it sounded, he followed with ‘You have created such beautiful things before, this looks like you gave it 5 minutes in a hurry. Is that the message you want to send?’
Of course I told him he doesn’t understand art and this reflects the CAS taste of this person. But it made me think, so I created the card from one of my previous posts instead. That one did take quite a while but I was very pleased with it and it wouldn’t be created without this ‘kick in the butt’ encouragement.
And yes, I was flattered he has a high regard for my cards so I took it as a compliment. 🙂


 For this card I used a simple white square card base, I added stacked die cuts of a heartbeat from Marianne Design (sorry Tim Holtz, your dies are just amazing and I was eyeing yours for a while, but my artsy heart couldn’t override my medical professional brain in this case to buy the technically incorrect ECG trait 😆). 

The heart in the center is cut from a holographic cardstock to add some interest and shine.

Tiddly Spring

I adore the quiet evening moments, when I get out of my white working uniform and jump head first into the world of colours! Spring is the perfect time for it with inspiration all around me. The inspiration for this post was a cherry tree I pass every day on my way to work. The blossoms are so soft and gentle I can't help but run my fingers through them every morning, it just makes my day. I was so excited to see this new stamp at Tiddly Inks Cherry Wryn. Isn't she adorable? I could just imagine the soft petals on my skin when colouring it. A stroke of acrylic paint, a touch of Distress Inks, foamiran flowers and voila.. here she is, Miss Spring herself :) She is so adorable I made a few versions and can't wait to have time to colour some more!

 Because the thing a teenager appreciates most on a birthday card is.. its content:) The rest most often ends up in recycling.. 😆 Entering the card in: Craft-alnica izziv #35 : Za najstnika https://veselahiska.blogspot.com/2024/04/izziv-53-crka-d.html?m=1#more
