Quick & easy

As you may have noticed, there's another challenge up over at the Alphabet challenge blog. We've reached mid November as well as the letter Q now, which means we're approaching the end of the year, as well as the end of the Alphabet wheel. Before we do so, let's jump into our crafting corners to create something quick - because sometimes there's no time for elaborate projects, or we need to get cards done in a bulk. Or, because "Quick & easy" is our new challenge theme this fortnight ;) 

For my DT inspiration, I decided to create a simple "Get well" card. I used a lovely motif of a leg cast from Bugaboo, and I coloured it with coloured pencils in blue and grey/black shades. I then placed it onto a piece of silver shimmering cardboard. In the end, I glued everything on a card base, which I've decorated with a piece of patterned paper. It might not be visible, but the sheet comes from a pack of winter/Christmas papers. It has no particular motif, but I liked the subtle abstract pattern, and the colours that go with the colour scheme of my image. It also has bits of shimmering texture which unfortunately isn't very visible in the photos, but let me tell you that it goes quite well with the other piece of shimmering paper. 

And once that was done, my card was finished - no sentiment, no paper flowers, no pearls. Just a flat card that is easy to ship in case somebody needs a quick cheer-me-up.
