this week, a friend of mine has been having a string of hard days with hard things piling up. i decided to make her a card. i don'T have all of my fun stamps or cutters anymore so i did it all by hand and my straight edge cutter. i just made it up as i went along.
the poem is in german because although my friend is polish, we both speak german. it says :
(front)
without clouds
there is no rain
without rain
flowers cannot grow
(inside)
it's raining now
so that flowers can follow
that's not a direct translation, but since i wrote it, i figure i can take artistic licence with the translation.
i pasted a blue background the front.
cut a cloud and umbrella. i folded the places where the umbrella would have the ribs to give it a little depth.
i drew in the rain drops and the umbrella handle.
inside the flowers were cut like snowflakes. i posted that here.
just hand cut several of different sizes and colors.
the butterflies were hand cut as well. i just cut on the fold. leave the same. i also put some light folds in the leaves and petals to give them some body. i just glued in the center so that it would stick up a bit.
i added some petals to the envelope to make it pretty. just a pick me up for someone.
