A card for a special friend

I am on a roll and for a reason...I have to complete a few projects asap because I may be shifting this weekend...MAYBE because this is defence and things are fluid and ambiguous all the time so I not sure if the house will be ready for its new occupants.

Anyways all that later....I would like to share my new card that I made for D2D.The image is from D2d and the sentiment is from sentimental sundays.The sketch is from CPS.The twine is from my stash.This card also enters the ongoing challenge at sentimental sundays.

The current challenge at Sentimental sundays urges you to step out of your comfort zone.Ihave made 4by 9 card only once earlier and thats becasue I have to make an envelope for it .So this is just not my style....But I quite like the way it turned out

Honestly speaking I am not too happy with my work this time .I haven't played along with the sketch correctly and have managed to stick the layers a bit crooked.I think it was one of those days when things just don't come right.
Thanks for passing by nevertheless.

Falloween cat but not a halloween card

I know the title is weird but its ought to be because this is the longest it took me this time to make a card for D2d which i diligently do week after week.But this time it was different because I can't relate to Halloween and so can't make Halloween cards.Also I have nobody to send them to.I do not have any friend who celebrates Halloween.So it took me the longest time to think of what to make with this week's image and last night I had a light bulb moment when I thought i could also make a bday card with that one.So here is my one more half an hour project which almost wasn't going to happen.
The card
The insides.
The envelope.
Close up of the sentiment and the Pie lane flowers.
The image is from D2d. It is also inspired by this week's sketch at The Sweet stop.I have colored the image with Faber Castell color pencils.The dp is from echo park.The sentiment is from TLC and the lace is from my stash....and the flowers from PIE LANE.
Thanks for passing by.
Hugs!
