I have a card to share today. Having had to be so busy the last few months I guess I'm feeling behind and ackward with my crafting because I just haven't been completely satisfied with the last few projects. I do like this card but it really was a challenge for me because I'd never made a card with the stand-up bottom or one where the die cut was cut into the actual base of the card; it took me about 5 tries to get the die cut aligned correctly on the fold of the base and I don't think I made the stand quite wide enough... BUT IT SURE WAS FUN playing and doing it!!! Lol!!!
I've always said I'm not much of a cardmaker so I'm going to take you around the block with views on this card and other than it probably needing more color, I'm open to any suggestions on improvements you may see for when I attempt this one again (which I will). This is the front of the card:
The color alternating hearts were actually a mistake; I'd accidently tore off one of the hearts, so I just cut off every other one and used the cut offs on the ribbon and on the back of rhe card.
Here's a close-up:
Okay, now the back of the card:
And here's a side view:
Okay guys, be honest! Let me know what you think -- or don't!!! Lol!
Love you, hugs and...
I'll be seeing you!

So lovely. I think the alternating colors turned out to be a wonderful "mistake". Actually some of my favorite projects came from my mistakes. :)Oh, love the hearts on the back too.
THe colors on this are so soothing I really like this idea for a sympathy card

That card turned out so pretty-I love the standing style and those alternating color hearts look great!
This is so amazing Audrey. I love everything about it. It is so great to make this a standing card. One of my favorite cards is the easel card but I will have to try one of these. It looks like you have your mojo back! TFS, hugs always, Mary
nice!!
Oh my...another hit on your hands or should I say created by your hands.
Love the color scheme, the shape, the flowers...everything came together perfectly.
You are a master card maker whether you believe it or not. I'm positive there is no craft out there that you would not be able to tackle. Face it...you have the gift. God bless you my dear!
