I have been waiting for this special Aussie die to arrive in the post to use to make a special card to sent to Irene - the Mother In Law of Ann (Dockside).
This morning was the perfect time to sit down in peace and quiet and try to create something that I thought she would like. I know it is too late to send a 99th Birthday Wish - so this is a Just for You card. I hope she enjoys it.
The background panel is a gelli plate print. The Koala is die cut from purple card and I then die cut it again to get the coloured sunrise colours from a water coloured panel and pieced it into the frame. Die cut the sentiment and matched it all with some soft mauve card.
I have also made another similar card and at the moment I don't know which one I will send - but one of them will be in the mail tomorrow to Irene in Canada.
I have also decided to add this card to the colour challenge for this week - have just seen the colours and think there is a bit of each colour in this card. In the background panel, and also in the water coloured sunrise background. Hope I am not pushing the "rules" too much.
Hope you enjoy.
Better late than never.

Oh Helen! Never too late! Irene is still getting a card once in a while and will be thrilled that the fun continues! Haven't seen your card arrive yet but it will be greatly appreciated when it does! We had to clear the cards off her table so she could eat breakfast. Ha, ha! I love that koala die. Your backgrounds are always so wonderful. I posted a picture of my MIL with the cards in this thread. Thanks so much for thinking of her!
