Hi and welcome to cardsarus blog spot My name is Jenny Lawrence and I live in Kent. My dear and wonderful husband Tony passed away in March 2019 We had been married for 36 years. I also lost my first Husband to the big C when I was quite young. I have 3 children and 3 stepchildren. 12 Grandchildren and 5 Great Granddaughters and 3 Great Grandsons. I have been card making for about 25 years. I have made things all my life as my Mum and Grand Mother taught me lots of hobbies. I have made my own clothes, knitted garments, hand embroidered items of clothing, and crocheted items too. I love to bake my own cakes as well.

A BOOK CARD


Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Sorry I haven't been about much, but I caught a bug, and haven't been very well the last few days.
Not sure where I got it from, but it has made me feel very tired as well as giving me a temperature also.
I admired a book card on Kathy Clement's blog, HERE and decided to make one similar myself.
Mine isn't as good as Kathy's, but I enjoyed making this.
Sorry this is very picture heavy.








This is 8"x7" in size.
The lovely bird papers were a free download from C&C club wesite.
I started by covering my white book card with coloured paper in a aqua colour.
I then inked the edges with Peacock Feathers DI.
I added my other papers and also inked them.
Then I decorated it with bird images, and decoupaged the front bird.
Lastly I added gold gilding wax to the edges to give it and old look.

Thank you for your  visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

    Hi Jenny - I expect you're fed up with hearing my superlatives about your outstanding projects aren't you?

    They truly are amazing and wonderful keepsakes and this book is no exception.

    This is just awesome (and of course I love the bird theme). It looks like a labor of patience & love, and of course, you've done the project just as wonderfully well as you do your cards! Hope you feel better real soon & get your energy back. TFS & have a great week.
