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.

DAISIES AND LEATHER

Good morning to all you talented crafts peeps out there, and of
course any visitors that may land on my blog today.
I am sooooo very grateful for all your wonderful comments
on my work.
You are so very kind to spare your precious time visiting me.

I looked after Ellie today so I was a little bit late visiting your wonderful blogs and making comments. I sure hope I haven't
missed any of you out.

Now to my card today,  I bought this belt from  Primark a few
years ago because I liked the leather flower, but never whore it.
So I suddenly thought this would make a nice card.
I hope you like it.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

Now the inside.


This card is an 8x8 size.
Matted with dark brown card stock and then I used some paper
from a pad of papers called Desert Blooms.
I cut out my corners from the Marianne Creatables Die.
This is a new die I have just bought as I loved it so much on
Rita's blog when she used it.
I cut out the Grand Decorative Circles, and the added my 
leather flower, and some Daisies from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a fantastic Thursday, and that you can slot
some craft into your busy day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Very clever use of the leather flower Jenny, I like to pop into Primark and always go to their accessories bit to look at their clearance bit. I love your layering, can I ask how you have done your brown layer under the flowers? xx Flora

Good Morning Jenny,
What a fantastic card, love the little flowers as well as the big one. I really like how you have put it all together.
I love picking up accessory things in Primark I use them for everything other than what they are meant for.
Have a Great Day
