A friend asked me to make a special card for her friend Mary who was celebrating her 80th birthday. I used Pion papers (from here) cream satin ribbon, zva crystal swirl, cream pom pom, 38mm cream fine cluny lace, rose petal seam binding and various mulberry roses, all from Ribbon Girl online store.
I will enter my card into the new sketch based Die-Ing for a Challenge challenge - I die cut an oval frame for my Pion image rather than a round one as in the sketch, and I hope this is acceptable.
My friend, who is totally blind, really liked the card because she could 'read' it with her fingers and could imagine what it would look like to her friend!
See you soon, Mary G x

This is adorable Mary, what gorgeous soft colours and love your ribbon, and that beautiful swirl is a perfect addition. I am certain Mary will love it.

sat here doing your colour challenge as we speak :)
A stunning card Mary and I agree with Mau, the colours are so soft and beautiful and the composition is just perfect. So lovely the lady could appreciate even though she is blind...
This is amazingly beautiful! Fantastic that your friend could 'read it' - and I am sure that Mary will love it :)

Mary, your card is so beautiful.

Thqnk you for all your lovely comments! Lorraine I made the numbers with Papertrey Ink numbers 1 - 9 set, I cut them from the blank coasters we sell in the store, then distressed the edges with tea dye - it's pouring down, mostly hailstones, so dark the lights are on and very chilly here in the North East of England, bbbbrrrrr perfect crafting weather, I'm on to my second card of the day, which is good for me !

Oh wow! Mary this is a real beauty, I love the colour, image, Pion papers, stunning ribbons & lace and the flowers, it's just simply BEAUTIFUL!
